Course Outline

• Opening Training - prepares participants to work together in the training and prepares the instructor to ensure that the learners' expectations are met.
• Module 1: Overview - builds an image of what has hurt and helped participants in learning from their own performance and relates that image to what the course teaches, why, and how it accomplishes its objectives.
• Module 2: Introduction to Working With Others - explains the Working With Others skills, provides practice using them, and an understanding of how these skills relate to mining learning from performance.
• Module 3: Learning About Mining Learning From Performance - teaches what mining learning from performance is, why it is important, when and where it is used, what outputs the activity produces, what information resources it requires, and how the SRLD™ method is done.
• Module 4: Describing and Analyzing Current Performance - teaches how to describe a performance in terms of its task, targets, and results. It also teaches how to breakdown the factors that enabled the level of achievement realized as well as the factors that hindered still higher achievement.
• Module 5: Extracting Learning and Defining a Direction for Improving One's Next Performance - teaches how to generate and refine learning and define a set of actions to support improvement in task achievement.
• Module 6: Practicing Mining Learning From Performance - provides exercises to build proficiency in mining learning from performance.
• Module 7: Applying What You Learned - provides an opportunity to apply the SRLD™ method to learning from one's own performance.
• Closing Training - concludes the training, explores how learners can strengthen their skills after training, and evaluates the course.

Resources

Instruction

• Mining Learning From Performance Participant Coursebook - introduces the course, explains the SRLD™ method, communicates the importance of mining learning, supports participants in practicing the SRLD™ method, and stimulates their thinking about how the skill of mining learning from performance may be applied in their work.
• Course visuals and handouts - reinforce instructional points and support the practice and application of the skills being taught.
• Mining Learning From Performance Card - provides a pocket-size reminder of the SRLD™ method and tips for refining learning.

Transfer to Real-World Performance

The Mining Learning From Performance Card supports the transfer of learning from training to other contexts. Also, Module 6 includes a learning activity in which participants apply the SRLD™ method to their performance of a task important to them. This activity both consolidates skill acquisition and supports the transfer of learning to real world use.
