Book Description
Accelerated learning is an approach to teaching and training that actively involves the whole person, using music, color, emotion, play, and creativity, as part of the training classroom, in order to accelerate the learning process. Although the concepts behind accelerated learning were developed in the 1970's, and a best-selling book has been written (Accelerated Learning by Colin Rose), there has been, to date, no comprehensive book published on accelerated learning for trainers and teachers. The Accelerated Learning Handbook will be the definitive book on the subject for trainers and teachers. Author Dave Meier is the president of the Center for Accelerated Learning, and is the leading guru of accelerated learning in the world, holding seminars for thousands of trainers, course designers, and consultants around North America. The Accelerated Learning Handbook explains, with dozens of practical tips and techniques. The book includes an overview of the background and underlying principles of accelerated learning, a review of how the latest brain research supports accelerated learning theory, and many examples of how it is being used in corporations to speed up training time, improve learning, and reduce costs. The heart of the book provides trainers with over 200 accelerated learning techniques that involve the emotions and all 5 senses of learners, in the learning process.
