Educational Training Implementation 2

For teachers and schools who would like to implement an educational training program, for their students, MRCR Education presents the following 8-step guide for Educational Training Implementation (E.T.I.)

This is a guide which teachers and schools could use to implement an educational training program.  It is a general guide that can be accommodated to meet established goals and needs of the program.

MRCR Education 8-Step Guide for Educational Training Implementation

1) Create a Team.
2) Define Educational Training.
3) Develop a Model.
4) Clarify Steps.
5) Address Concerns.
6) Plan Implementation Timetable.
7) Apply to a Selected Sample.
8) Evaluate, Grow, and Reapply.

Teachers and schools that implement educational training programs will provide students with an additional opportunity to obtain support and assistance with their education.  This support and assistance can allow the student to: pursuit further education, grow in a particular subject, review prior education, establish roots in a field or career.

Educational training programs can be implemented in schools and classrooms as a concurrent complement to the academic curriculum, or as an addition to it.  Educational training programs are most effective when created to be low cost, high yield, and long term.

Educational Training Implemetation

To successfully implement an educational training program in the classroom, at school, or for home, the following eight steps to follow are recommended for educators to use:

1) Create an E.T.I. Team
Ask colleges for help, and to participate, in implementing educational training, for students, at an appropriate education level.

2) Define Educational Training
The E.T.I. team should then define educational training.  What is their vision of it?  What is the purpose for implementing it?

3) Develop a Model
Using the E.T.I. team's definition of educational training as the foundation, develop a model that serves as a reference and guide for all the participants.

4) Clarify Steps
Clearly define the steps needed to fully implement educational training, and who is to be accountable for implementing them.

5) Address Concerns
The E.T.I team should hold an advisory council to address any concerns, or worries, that participants may have, prior to implementation.

6) Plan Implementation Timetable
The E.T.I. team must plan an implementation timetable that will hold them accountable for reaching the steps set for implementation.

7) Apply to a Group
Select a group with whom the E.T.I team can evaluate the model created, and its success on the group to which it was implemented on.

8) Growth and Reimplementation
The E.T.I team can then use their evaluation of the model created to grow the educational training program by implementing it to a larger sample.

With these eight steps a group of dedicated educators can successfully implement educational training in the classroom, at their school, or for the home.  Educational Training can provide a beneficial support for students, who are in need of help, to meet education standards, and for those who would like advanced challenge for their education.

Educational Training Practice 2

Educators will benefit if they train students to develop their educational skills.  Skills which can facilitate a student's success in school.  Skills which help students become better educated by knowing how to study, learn, and teach.  As educators we can properly train students to develop these skills.

How can students practice educational training?

The practice stage of Educational Training has two components: Drills and Application.  Students can practice educational training by taking part in drills that develop a Core Central Knowledge from which ideas and concepts radiate, and by applying such knowledge, ideas, and concepts to produce educational work.

Educational  Drills can be designed to develop a Core Central Knowledge through the use of various sources and samples.  If the core central knowledge we want to design a drill for is addition, we begin by defining it,  demonstrating its use, and allowing students to try it on their own.  Addition can then radiate to other concepts like adding negatives, fractions, real numbers, polynomials, etc.

Educational Application can be designed by educators to have students Produce Work by having them draw on their understanding of core knowledge.  After doing drills on addition, students can produce work that demonstrates their understanding of this concept by applying it to doing projects, presentation, group work, and they can challenge themselves by pursuing further understanding of addition in mathematics.

Educational Training Practice 1

As we train for education, like we do for many events in life, we travel along a three-track process: We study, we learn, we teach.  Training for education leads to the development of educational skills, which can facilitate success in school, when developed properly.

The educational training process provides an opportunity to study, learn, teach, and develop skills at a favorable rate of growth.  This can be accomplished at an individual and collaborative level.  It also provides an opportunity to commit mistakes and errors which should then be repaired and corrected prior to proceeding with further training.

Following Warming Up, the initial stage of educational training, is the Practice stage.  The educational training stage of practice has two components: Drills and Application.  Educational training drills should be designed to develop a core central knowledge from which ideas and concepts radiate.  Educational training application draws from our understanding of knowledge to produce work.

With the development of core central knowledge, from which ideas and concepts radiate, and the application of understanding, by producing work, we can successfully complete the practice stage of educational training.  The educational training stage of practice brings to a close the training process of education.  With the educational training process complete, after warming up through stretching and conditioning, and practicing through drills and application, we can proceed to use the skills, which have facilitated success at school, in our daily life.  Whether it is at home, at work, or in pursuit of further education.

Educational Training Warming Up 2

How can we train learners educationally so that they develop the skills that facilitate success in education?  How can learners be trained to study, learn, teach, and develop educational skills?  To do this, with success, it is recommended that Educational Training be started by warming up.  Warming Up in Educational Training has two parts: Stretching and Conditioning.

How can learners train educationally by warming up?
We learn to warm up in physical education and in preparation for athletic events.  In physical education and athletics we warm up to prepare the body.  The body is prepared by stretching muscles and tendons, followed by conditioning.  Stretching develops elasticity.  Conditioning develops performance and endurance.

In the classroom, warming up is a process by which learners develop educational elasticity so they may perform and endure successfully.  This can be done when learners stretch their knowledge and condition their understanding.

Learners can stretch their knowledge by applying forces to it.  An area of knowledge can be stretched across different subjects, places, and time.  The learner can demonstrate this by taking knowledge from one area of education and applying it to other areas. A learner who knows how to count can stretch that knowledge by counting backwards, skip counting, counting in a different language, etc.

Learners can condition their understanding by increasing performance and developing endurance.  Educational performance can be increased when the learner repeatedly performs with accuracy their understanding of knowledge.  Educational endurance can be developed over time by the learner when maintaining their understanding of knowledge over time.  A learner who knows how to add can condition that understanding of knowledge by adding single digits, more that two digits, decimals, fractions, like terms, variables, monomials, binomials, equations, etc.

Educational Training Warming Up 1

We need to train for education, as we do, for most any other events, that we undertake in life.  Training for education, can be viewed, as a three part process: Study, Learn, Teach.
Training for education, should lead to the development of educational skills, that facilitate success in school, when developed properly.

Educational Training gives us an opportunity to study, learn, teach, and develop these skills at a favorable rate of growth, not only at an individual level, but together as a whole.
While we are going through educational training, we are allowed to commit mistakes and carry out errors; which we should then repair and correct, before we proceed with further educational development.

The first stage of educational training is warming up.
When warming, we focus on two specific areas of educational training, stretching and conditioning.
Stretching lets us develop the elasticity of an area by pulling, pushing, compressing, and exposing it to tension.
It is most beneficial as a short term part of the warming up stage in educational training.

The second stage of educational training is conditioning.
Conditioning lets us develop either a general or specific aspect of educational training for performance and endurance.
It is most beneficial as a long term part of of the warming up stage in educational training.

As we train for education, we should begin with stretching and conditioning as part of the first stage, Educational Training - Warming Up.

By stretching the understanding of knowledge we currently have, applying different forces and creating tension to further develop its elasticity, and conditioning our application of knowledge so it may perform and endure for a long time, we will properly develop the educational skills that can facilitate success in school.

Educational Training


Preparing for the new school year starts by waking up, and getting ready, to begin training.
We have to train to study.  We have to train to learn.  We have to train to teach.
This applies not just to those who are receiving learning, but also to those who are providing instruction.  With proper training learners, and instructors, can develop the educational skills that are needed to succeed in school.

Training presents us with the opportunity to learn, and develop, skills at a rate that favors the growth of both the individual and the whole.  It also allows us to commit, and carry out, mistakes and errors which can then be corrected, and repaired, prior to proceeding with further learning and evaluating.

Educational training can be looked at as having two distinct parts: The warm-up, and The practice. During warm-up we focus on stretching, and conditioning, educationally; where as practice is reserved for drills and simulations.  Each of these steps can be applied to classroom instruction through a variety of methods which give the required flexibility needed to meet the requirements each classroom has to face.  Training is a necessary stage in education which is well worth investing time in.

October 2013

The month of October requires us to be fully involved in educational training.
By now we should be ready to be in school, and in the classroom.
Warming up, practicing, so we may make the most of our educational opportunity.
To do this, we should be stretching and conditioning educationally.
This can be done through repetitions, simulations, and application of skills.
Educational training allow us to prepare as the year progresses.
