BOOKS & CURRICULUM
Methodology
All iSpeak curriculum may be purchased for classroom delivery by your own instructor staff. Prior to classroom delivery, it is recommended that your instructors attend a Train-the-Trainer Workshop delivered by an iSpeak Professional Educator. Contact iSpeak for more details on iSpeak Curriculum Trainer certification.
We are often asked, "What does the "i" in iSpeak stand for?" The answer is in our foundation for curriculum development. It is based on four key principles of adult learning theory designed to deliver maximum results. Through our research, we have distilled our four key principles for success in adult education. All iSpeak educational courses are developed with these four principles at the foundation.
Principle Number 1 - Inform
Delivering the proper information, in the proper doses and with the proper examples will give the data required to improve performance. But information and data alone will not change behavior with maximum results. If that were the case, reading data would be sufficient enough to change all behaviors.
Principle Number 2 - Inspire
Adult learning theorists consistently point out that a motivated student is more likely to excel beyond their peers that are not motivated. Inspiration and encouragement is required and developed into each iSpeak course.
Principle Number 3 - Implement
Many students have left a classroom with new knowledge and are inspired to make changes, but if the new skills are not implemented into the daily routine, they will not affect behavior positively. All iSpeak curriculum contains numerous tools that can be implemented into daily routine immediately. All tools are also made available on the website for alumni students to access pdf versions of the tools after the class.
Principle Number 4 - Improve
The fourth phase of adult learning becomes the desired result of the first three phases. iSpeak courses are designed with pre-assessments, post-class assessments and time-lapse assessments. By sampling the effectiveness of the education well after the class work has been completed, educators and managers can check for the desired results. Selective reinforcement and education needs can be derived from these sampled results.
Content Customization
Success for an organization will vary depending on the individuals, the organization, the industry and the customer base. For this reason, iSpeak has based each course on principles, and not formulas. This permits customization according to each organization's needs.
