2
00:00:06,834 --> 00:00:08,967
So now you're ready to begin!

3
00:00:08,967 --> 00:00:11,333
When you engage your group to
promote learning,

4
00:00:11,333 --> 00:00:14,066
you become an
effective trainer.

5
00:00:14,066 --> 00:00:17,066
Therefore, we developed the
activities in the Training Guide

6
00:00:17,066 --> 00:00:20,967
based on the idea that
to do is to learn.

7
00:00:20,967 --> 00:00:26,467
[speaking in background]

8
00:00:26,467 --> 00:00:28,533
As you begin, it's
important to gauge

9
00:00:28,533 --> 00:00:31,934
how much your participants know
about type 2 diabetes and its

10
00:00:31,934 --> 00:00:34,600
prevention; and it's also
important to learn their

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,033
expectations of
the workshop.

12
00:00:37,033 --> 00:00:39,934
The short pre-test in Appendix
B of the Training Guide can be

13
00:00:39,934 --> 00:00:41,834
a good way to do this.

14
00:00:41,834 --> 00:00:44,200
But if it doesn't suit your
group, feel free

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,033
to develop your own activity.

16
00:00:48,033 --> 00:00:50,767
Another useful activity in the
Training Guide is called

17
00:00:50,767 --> 00:00:54,333
What Do I Know, and What
Do I Want to Learn?

18
00:00:54,333 --> 00:00:58,200
This activity not only helps you
get to know your participants,

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,567
it also encourages valuable
group interaction.

20
00:01:01,567 --> 00:01:04,800
For this activity, have each
person select two of the three

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,133
color-coded cards: one to
represent the area they know

22
00:01:08,133 --> 00:01:11,233
most about, and the other
to represent the area

23
00:01:11,233 --> 00:01:13,333
they want to learn more about.

24
00:01:13,333 --> 00:01:16,133
Be sure to have the training
room tables labeled with the

25
00:01:16,133 --> 00:01:19,734
appropriate colored cards before
the training begins.

26
00:01:19,734 --> 00:01:22,934
Ask them to sit at the table
that corresponds in color to the

27
00:01:22,934 --> 00:01:25,367
area they know most about.

28
00:01:25,367 --> 00:01:28,266
If they don't have an area they
know a lot about, have them

29
00:01:28,266 --> 00:01:31,934
choose the table that represents
the area they want to learn more

30
00:01:31,934 --> 00:01:32,867
about.

31
00:01:32,867 --> 00:01:36,834
[speaking in background]

32
00:01:36,834 --> 00:01:39,300
Once they're all
seated, ask them to

33
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:41,900
introduce themselves to the
group and to mention their

34
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:43,700
knowledge in their chosen area.

35
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:47,500
[speaking in background]

36
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:49,400
Then begin a dialogue
to encourage

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,266
your group to discuss their
interest areas and their

38
00:01:52,266 --> 00:01:54,200
expectations of the training.

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:01,133
[speaking in background]

40
00:02:01,133 --> 00:02:02,700
By paying special
attention to the

41
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:04,567
group's expectations,
you can suit your

42
00:02:04,567 --> 00:02:06,567
workshop to their needs.

43
00:02:06,567 --> 00:02:08,333
[speaking in background]
