EFA Training Module
Synthesis and Reflection (15 minutes)
Objective
These complementary activities are intended to help participants a) create
closure to the day in a friendly, informal setting; b) compare their original
expectations for this training that which they’ve learned today;
c) learn a new wrap-up activity that they can use in the classroom.
1. What do we know NOW? (5 Minutes)
Materials
- Marker (ideally, a different color from the others used)
- Flipchart pages from the first activity: Breaking the Ice: What do
we know?
Procedure
- Return to the flip chart page containing participants’ comments
on what they knew about EFA at the beginning of the day. Draw their
attention to the last two questions, “What do you already know
about EFA?” and “What do you hope to learn today?”
- As participants read through their initial comments, invite them to
make additions and/or amendments to their comments.
- Monitor time; to save time, you should do the writing for this activity.
The unique color will help participants see which information is “old”
and which is “new.”
2. What do we want to take with us (5 Minutes)
Materials
- Blackboard and chalk, or flipchart and pens
- Post-it notes, various colors
Procedure
- On the blackboard, draw a stick figure of a man carrying a briefcase.
- Distribute approximately five post-it notes to each participant. Provide
more as needed.
- Draw participants’ attention to a) the man’s head; b)
the man’s heart; and c) the man’s briefcase.
- Corresponding to the drawing, invite participants to write one detail
on each post-it about a) what they learned today; b) how they feel about
EFA as a product; and c) what they want to remember about today (or
about EFA).
- Have participants stick their post-it notes on the blackboard according
to components a), b) and c) above. (For example, a comment about you
want to remember should be posted in or near the man’s head.)
- Give participants time to stand in front of the drawing to read others’
comments.
3. Training Feedback (5 Minutes)
Materials
Procedure
- Ask participants to reflect on the content and quality of today’s
training session. Their responses will be used to improve future trainings.
- Comments regarding content may be shared with the lead author of this
module, Karen Taylor. Karen may be contacted at karentaylor@miis.alumlink.com
