This relationship implies responsibilities for both parties. There are a few activities that will help you get the most from your training experience. Write It Down Writing things down in your own words helps you to remember more than if you were just listening. This paraphrasing will also help check your understanding of the material. The written material can serve as a reference for later; it will help you remember what you need to know. Writing things down may prevent the trainer from having to repeat information. Writing thins down shows the trainer that you are interested in what is being said. Ask Questions Asking questions is one of the most important responsibilities in your training partnership. It will help clarify points for you and others. Questions helpi you and your tainer check your level of understanding. They also help the trainer know if the training pace is correct. When you ask a question, you may be asking something that others are wondering about also. Contribute To contribute is different from asking questions. This is an opportunity to share experiences and examples that make the trainer's information clearer and more relative to the everyday world. Contributing makes you feel that you are a part of the training experience and boosts your self-esteem. Contributing lets the trainer know you're on track. 5 NOTE: The following pages have been omitted from the generic curriculum due to the nature of their content.
