How to Get Started
In the days before the class, you’ll have a few administrative
issues to take care of, supplies and support to arrange, and a
little homework to do.
Administrative Issues
Decide as soon as possible where you’re going to do your training.
▸ If you need a classroom, find a space that’s large
enough and quiet enough for effective learning. Make
sure there’s seating, at least one table, a video monitor,
and a
DVD
player. A marker board or flip chart will help
you show or spell out what you’re talking about.
▸ If in-the-mine or tailgate training makes more sense,
coordinate with foremen or supervisors to avoid
conflicts and traffic problems.
Schedule your class for the start of a shift or right after a break.
▸ Allow enough time to cover what you need to teach
without rushing it.
▸ If you haven’t taught the material before, estimate the
length of your class by timing yourself while you
rehearse. Add time for trainee practice and
Q & A
.
Let your trainees and their foremen know about the class a
few days ahead of time. Follow up with a reminder a day or
two before the class. You may want to post copies of the poster
supplied on Page 44, or ask your foremen to make pre-shift
announcements.
If yours is a big operation, schedule more than one class, so
every miner on every shift can make it.
▸ A dozen trainees per class is a practical average size.
▸ Larger classes make it hard for everyone to participate,
and for you to make sure that everyone understands
and practices.
Assign each trainee or work team to a specific session, but
announce the dates and times of other classes so there’s a
fallback plan if some can’t make the assigned time slots.
TIPS
MATERIALS FOR TRAINEES
• Prepare handouts that relate to
your training topic (see Page 5).
Distribute them at the end of
the class, to keep attention
focused on training activities.
• Give each trainee a small
note pad and pencil to
encourage note-taking and
emphasize the value of
the class.
