Trainer's Assessment of Proficiency (TAP) Profile DVD Kit

Other than the evaluation sheets that participants turn in at the end of a training session, most instructors get very little feedback on how they are doing and where they can improve. But, their growth and development depend on more than the reactions of their learners. Professional expertise and established standards for classroom performance should be applied.

That's why TAP was created. It measures an instructor's relative strengths on key skills, generating a Proficiency Profile that pinpoints developmental needs and defines the competencies critical to the effective delivery of training. TAP is a three-hour video-based program for instructors and course designers to assess 12 key instructional skills, identify needs and opportunities, and form Individual Development Plans.

The 12 Competencies

• Assessing Needs and Entering Behavior
• Analyzing Participants and Situations
