Certificate Frames


These lightweight plastic DocU-Pockets are a Trainers' favorite.  They're a great way to promote courses and  pride in achievement.

But, DocU-Pockets aren't just for certificates.  Use the front side for a certificate and the reverse side for important course reminder notes.   

Best of all, DocU-Pockets are an environmentally GREEN alternative to lamination, because they can be used and reused!  Prices below include VELCRO, but other backings are also available.

TIP OF THE MONTH 

Frog

 
Make sure they don't forget everything they learned
 
There's nothing worse than checking in with learners a few weeks after a course and finding that they've forgotten 50% of what they learned,
 
Mnemonics are proven to help people remember larger chunks of information.  And Frog Bendables are a terrific and inexpensive way to do it.  Simply ask groups to work together to name their frog with a memorable acronym. Each letter in the name should remind them of a key learning point. Sold in bags of 48!
 
Price:  $26.95 /set of 48

 7 Just-right Challenges
Mike Doctoroff
 by Michael Doctoroff

Drawing comparisons to traditional lecturing techniques of the 20th century, Doctoroff asserts that today's methodology for active training is considerably more effective because it draws learners into the "flow" of learning. 
 
In his article on Just-right Challenges: The Secret to Effective Teaching and Training, Mike introduces Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi 's theory and suggests 7 challenges that will help learners become engaged in their learning without growing either bored or frustrated.
