Train the Trainers: Fresh Approaches to Adult Learning for Trainers in the Legal Aid
and Indigent Defense Communities
Tuesday, November 18 9:00 am – 5:00 pm and Wednesday, November 19, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
This intensive, two-day program will show you why alternatives to lengthy lectures are essential for adult learners. You will see demonstrations of what works in legal training from a trainer who has designed hundreds of programs for lawyers. From demonstrations, you will move to practice and design. You will leave this program with a head start on a training plan for a new course in your organization or region. The course is provided by NLADA with the generous sponsorship of the Practising Law Institute (New York, San Francisco).
Who Should Attend?
- New trainers who will conduct training programs within the next six months
- Experienced trainers who are looking to sharpen and expand their understanding
of adult training methods and move beyond lecture-based models
- Representatives of regional training consortiums who have the capacity to support
and export these skills on a regional level

a state level
The course will be delivered by David Cruickshank of Kerma Partners.
