教练对你来说意味着什么?

很久很久以前，我参加了我的第一个计算机培训班。我不知道该从这门课上期待什么，也不知道该从教练那里期待什么。在IT培训领域的第一次经历中，我唯一需要比较的是我在大学的第一天(比我在教室的第一天早得多)。我很兴奋，但对这门课的成功有所保留。我走进教室，书都整齐地摆放在那里，钢笔在盒子上。每个学生都有自己的电脑，我们有12个人。它是平民和军人的混合体(课程在德国举行，但用英语授课。该训练设施主要面向现役军人和为军队工作的平民)。到目前为止，我已经从事计算机工作多年，但很少接受正规培训——但我确实有OJT的博士学位!然后教练走进房间..... I wasn’t sure what to expect from the instructor – after all, this was a computer class. After we went through introductions and our job roles, class settled down and we started into the material. Many years later I realized that as classes go, this one was uneventful (and from a trainer’s perspective – that is the way they are supposed to be!) The instructor presented material –students asked questions, labs went smoothly – an uneventful class – except it was my first class! I was very impressed with the instructor’s ability to handle the issues with in the class – answer questions and his poise at the podium. I was used to how the various members of the military acted in front of a large audience and how I felt as a Platoon Leader when I was standing in front of my soldiers – I had respect for the instructor! This was in the late ‘90s and even to this today – I have certain amount of trepidation on the first day of class – but I just remember how that instructor acted and responded on that first day of class so many years ago and act accordingly. What I learned then and have carried with me ever since is that the first few minutes of a class are critical for setting the stage for a successful learning experience.
