To celebrate the holiday season of giving and to mark our last meeting in 2014, join us in this networking and best practice sharing event. Gain an enriched understanding of fellow members’ skills and experiences and pick up some tips and tricks for training that you can put to good use in the new year.

Along with getting to know your fellow members better, we will also take a 21st Century Look at the Classic ADDIE Model. ADDIE is a tried and true framework for building effective training and performance support tools that may never go out of style. During the presentation we will examine the model’s five phases of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. Participants will leave with a better under-standing, as well as essential practices and processes to make each phase successful. As the role of the trainer and instructional designer evolves, organizations demand more of your talent and time. Your trainees are required not just to appear in a training program but to maintain this learning over time. This ASTD Long Island Workshop reviews a variety of ways in which we as training professionals can make learning stick. This session will cover a series of case studies and challenge participants to use their expertise to develop solutions to common problems in maintaining learning. Grounded in theory and focused on practice and application, this program will help you master your professional capacity for making learning last.
