What is Trainer’s Edge?

The Trainer’s EDGE replaces the Trainer Development Conference (BSA 500) as the required train-the-trainer course for Wood Badge and NYLT staffs. The purpose of the Trainer’s EDGE course is to provide and help develop the platform skills of a trainer. It is meant to supplement the practice offered through Wood Badge and NYLT staff development, with a focus on the participant, while raising the level of skill a trainer brings to the staff experience. Only practice can polish these skills, but this course is intended to “train the trainer” on behaviors and resources while offering hands-on experience in methods and media.

Trainer’s EDGE is for District trainers, Pack trainers and for anyone who wants to improve their training skills. This course is a required course for trainers for all trainers in West Tennessee Area Council.

Trainer’s EDGE covers the following four modules:

·         Module 1—Communicating. Review the basics of verbal and nonverbal communication for a trainer, introduce the EDGE model, and give the participants an opportunity to use the model.

·         Module 2—Logistics, Media, and Methods. Review media and methods a trainer uses to deliver a syllabus.

·         Module 3—Directing Traffic and Thoughts—Review how to developing a course culture, facilitation, participant focus, and managing the group. 

·         Module 4—Participant Session (2½ hours)—Provide practice in delivering participants’ prepared presentations and feedback.
