With T is for Training Host Maurice Coleman away for the evening, we were faced with a simple choice: persevere with a substitute host or pull the plug. The fact that you’re reading this and about to listen to the recording tells you that substitute host Paul Signorelli—along with Regular Suspects Jared Bendis, Aaron Blumberg, Tom Haymes, and Mark Corbett Wilson—persevered with a conversation centered on “Persevering or Pulling the Plug in Training-Teaching-Learning.” Among the ideas bubbling up during the conversation: the nature of heroism in learning and persevering, helping learners persevere by making things crystal clear, engaging learners to produce, and peer learning as the highest level of learning. Hope you enjoy the conversation. Full notes (and links!) on tisfortraining.wordpress.com

This was a bit of a discussion. While the article is ok, is it citeable? Then, creating space for the person learning to engage with the trainer and authors, to create a community of learning and inquiry. How do we get people to value the road, not the destination? Our job is to break down the barriers to learning. And putting them in touch with their voice. And how to express that voice. Full notes at tisfortraining.wordpress.com

Think of it as Metal Machine Music. Less angry tho.
Jill and Maurice talked about a bunch of things. How you should have your act together before doing anything big, Or Small. What is justice and belonging and inclusion? Why libraries are both forts against ignorance and a symbol of colonialism. Yeah, we went there and we went deep. http://tisfortraining.wordpress.com

Guest and Friend of the show Sardek Love joins us top talk about the top 10 challenges trainers face on the job. With Maurice, Jill, Paul, Tom and Diane. check out the blog at tisfortraining.wordpress.com for Jill's copious and practical notes.
Tom started it. A revolution that makes learning applicable to the real world and grades obsolete. But that is because the system itself is broken. We all want to make sure our end user/client/learner/student ends up with more than just trivia, but applicable skills and a THING they can use after the class.
Welcoming virtually. Welcoming in person. Dealing with people who don't want to be there. Welcoming as inclusion. As gathering. As a jump off point. As a way to build community. As a way of building trust. As a way of encouraging participation. As a way of making each trainee feel important and a unique part of a unique experience.
Jill, Paul, Tom, Diane, Andrea from the car and Maurice talked about DEI+ training in the library world, how you have to create an environment of compassionate curiosity, That DEI+ is HUGE, really huge and most get lost where to start dissecting and fixing the issue. The acknowledgement that these issues are part of the fabric and history of the US and the world. That there needs to be a DEIGPT. (patent pending) Books are a means of oppression and not the only way to share cultural information. Go to something free and learn about someone other than yourself. Yeah, it was a lot. And I hope the start of something transformative for libraries.
Mindfulness was the theme. Paul, Andrea, Diane and Maurice were the panel. It started with this article https://www.wellsteps.com/blog/2020/02/11/mindfulness-in-the-workplace/ Alternate titles: [Being]There, There, there and there. We are all just practicing.

T is for Training 328 - You Don’t Want Your Grandmother to Clean That Up All info at https://tisfortraining.wordpress.com The show was recorded on January 26th 2023. Due to my computer completely freaking the * out, we recorded it in Zoom. Thanks, Paul! The panelists were Paul Signorelli, Tom Haymes, Buffy Hamilton, and Maurice Coleman. Running Show Thoughts: See think wonder. Teach the big concept –SOAPSTone text analysis – We need to teach people how to use this (or a variation) on every social media platform. Some students come with a critical thinking framework, some you have to install the framework before you can ensure they will learn something they can use in real life. Ethos, Pathos, Logos. AI is transforming education. Education shouldn’t be a black box. Resource links on http://tisfortraining.wordpress.comHow Tom Learned to Stop Worrying about ChatGPT (from the Shaping Edu Blog.)Making Thinking Visible Project Zero ClassroomCheck out Standardized Minds: The High Price Of America's Testing Culture And What We Can Do To Change IT by Peter Sacksinspired by Harvey Daniels, some of his work is in Best Practice, Fourth Edition: Bringing Standards to Life in America's Classrooms 4th EditionSOAPSTone Text analysis.
We started talking about what tech and non tech we will use in 2023. Recognizing Limitations of Technology is important. It is a good thing to hear your friend's voices in your head. Leave the interstate and take the road less traveled (you want to see the big ball of string)We learned that Jill folds (and annotates) her maps properly. We want you to get the right help. Start your training with a story. Or a murder like Colombo. You then get to see how you got there. Which is the interesting journey.
The end of year wrap show. Next episode January 12th 2023. We figure all systems are broken and all of our guests this year are trying to fix them one small change at a time. We should create small learning communities, not ways to game the system and chrun out diplomas like automobiles. The notes: DEI is everywhereWork on people and self-discovery is at the heart of DEIJ training. It is also an easy way to approach any problem. (really emotional intelligence) Familiarity breeds contempt.Bad things happen when you doomscroll and have no outlet to process and evaluate what you learned with moderately reasonable people. Interacting with people acts as a professional governor. Chat GPT you can beat it by knowing some stuff about the subject. The world changes as the world resists the change. Non-industrialized and non-gamified instruction will turn Chat GPT into a tool, not a problem. Education has become an assembly line. There is an economics of academic scale. Large schools have money to provide things that bring more students into classes whose tuition pays for more things to attract more students who take more classes….Why is it ok to turn in someone else’s work? We need to create networks of small learning communities that can use large-scale classroom sessions as jumping-off points. Everything should be blended learning. Students LIKE IT. You got a grade, now you are in the legislature. You keep the status quo because it is what you know.
Pat Wagner's penultimate public appearance. Lessons over 44 years. Every time I hear you speak, I feel braver. You should meet the needs of your community.Have a sincere desire to like people and to serve people. Don’t show benign contempt. Don’t dominate under the guise of service. Serve with a clear heart with compassion and empathy for everyone. The three types of libraries: the Comfort Zone library, the same old stuff, and the Responsive library, can be expensive, fad driven, and cater to the loudest voices, and the Visionary library, think and be different take risks and learn from mistakes and failures. Libraries like this tend to be really rich or really desperate. Pat would ask libraries, what percentage of these types of libraries are you? You should explore failures. Innovation is a process, not an event. Why did we build it THIS way? Monuments to ego, not service. One library consulted with its staff to figure out the right type of floor to install. They saved time and money by installing what the custodian staff recommended. Tom recommended the book How Buildings Learn. The building as a system. When designing a building think about maintenance and future use. One library had to have the custodian polish the chrome pillars all day because they were high-touch areas. Don’t try to be everything for everyone. The library is not Pizza (which everyone likes) While you have competition, your community comprises current customers, future customers, and potential partners. Think of listening as a radical endeavor.
Today we welcomed David Lee King from the Topeka Shawnee County Library system in Kansas to talk about innovative learning and creative spaces that have blossomed during the pandemic. Regular Regulars Tom, Jill, Paul and Maurice da host were also on the call.
Notes and Quotes: Full notes on the T is for Training blog @ tisfortraining.wordpress.com We were Google Kansas for just one day. Check out the American Connectivity Program part of the big infrastructure bill for resources (aka cash) to do some work libraries already do for the community. “My Soul Patch was on Fire” 30-dollar broadband with equipment can help the economic angle of the digital divide. How do we deal with the first/last mile? Modems, access points in a home/apartment, computers/internet-ready devices for all? Think like a designer. Create, screw up, fix, recreate, repeat until you reveal the sculpture in the marble. Do we hire staff to open the library on Local, State and Federal holidays? What does that mean for recruitment, management, and unions? How do we help libraries become Design Organizations? (There are links on the blog post all about how) The goalposts have shifted from access to technology to access the knowledge to use the technology.
On the Call were Maurice Coleman, Paul Signorelli, Sardek Love, and the newest friend of the show Anne Bruce. We talked about their new book from McGraw Hill Business Essentials Publications - Presentation Essentials. Anne and Sardek talked about the tools and best practices of presentations, the difference between presenting, training, and lecturing, and how both new and seasoned speakers can hone their craft.
Jared Bendis Jaredx2 is everywhere. If you are going to complain you have to be on Twitter. Right Platform for the job Only an idiot would post a 10-minute video. Me, Joe, and Josh with lava lamps and flintstone ties. My brand is Jared Bendis. I assume this was before the author went crazy. I don’t want videos to go viral. Call me fat and bald, don’t call me a boomer…. The only person who thinks I’m a bad guy is a Republican. You’re not a library but you are a digital hoarder. We will never get copyright reform until we leave international treaties. Let’s use social engineering to figure out copyright. Willingly expire copyrights. I don’t wanna pay for it. But why did you pirate it… Don’t yuck someone yum. Keep on trolling trolls…. Aldi’s doesn’t answer the phone. Even if you didn’t steal a cartridge. My friends really need captions. Turns out I talk really fast. I learned how to be a librarian from one conversation. You need to know where this thing goes in the schema of this house. I didn’t count for the fluff factor. When you start looking at a social media platform follow a celebrity or three. Don’t get sucked into the stupid stuff. It’s corn it’s got the juice. Respect, Research Definitive. Don’t Yuck my Yum, Don’t Yum my Yuck either. You have to have thick skin. My life as a train.. how long does it take to stop if I pull the brake? I made the linear mistake when I get started TicToc. That is what being an influencer is about.
A summary: I’m a mass murderer of grandparents. Listen to the room. Listening to the silence. Seeing the emotion. I rolled snake eyes. A conga line of students. I don’t see black swans.
Paul, Jill, Henry and Maurice talked about What do we do before the class to set "the stage"?, What do we do during the class to ensure all learners are welcome and feel as if they belong there? How do we use purpose to create a welcoming environment? How do we get learners to be active participants? In every format there are people hiding in the back row. How do we get them engaged? What do we need to do for/with ourselves to ensure that we are welcoming?
