Briefings – The Four E’s

• Engage– Capture the audience– Create the learning effective learning

environment

• Evaluate– Assesses participant’s knowledge base– Creates group equity

• Establish– Give scholars a personal interest

• Educate– Opens the door for continuing education

and the next stage, experience

Tips to Briefing• Talk Time Analysis • Eye contact should be on group not you• If co-facilitating rotate facilitators• Remember the learning modalities• Paraphrase (Answers and Questions)• Positive reinforcements – specific praise• Change environment• Use different sensory adjectives

Debriefing – Higher Level Thinking• Bloom’s Taxonomy

– Knowledge– Comprehension– Application– Analysis– Synthesis– Evaluation

• Kolbe– What– So What– Now What

Tips to Debriefing

• To move up Bloom’s ask more than one question on each topic

• As the questions get higher, the learner will need more time to think

• Redirect questions to group• Don’t be afraid of silence -10 second rule• It is ok to plant seeds. You do not need

to expect an answer to every question

Thank you and Best of Luck!
