What We Believe About Training & Adult Learning
Our facilitators establish an environment of trust in which teachers examine their beliefs, confront new ideas and create pathways for implementing these ideas.
Teachers are respected, challenged and supported as they collaborate with colleagues. Pyramid Training brings ideas to life through engaging activities and thought-provoking initiatives that bring about real change in beliefs and behavior.
Here's What We Know...
- Meaningful learning requires activity
- Learning that engages both the emotions and the intellect is powerful and lasting
- Learning is about change - change in knowledge, change in belief, change in behavior
- Learning is directly proportional to how much fun you are having!
Here's What We Promise...
- You will be actively engaged physically and mentally from beginning to end
- Your personal knowledge and experience will be utilized as a springboard to new learning
- You will be challenged with new learning that has the power to transform beliefs into actions
- You will have fun as you connect to the heart of teaching!

Our Approach
Pyramid Training understands and respects the unique needs of adult learners. We know that adult learners:
- prefer self-directed learning,
- bring with them a wealth of experience and knowledge,
- have learning needs related to real-life situations,
- are motivated to acquire knowledge and skills that can be applied in their current work situation.
Pyramid Training is built upon a foundation of respect, collaboration, support, trust, and fun. We honor the individuality of each participant by creating a learning environment that is safe, stimulating, and learner-centered. This environment fosters critically reflective thinking and opens doors to innovative application and problem solving.
Pyramid Training engages the participants in a process of inquiry, analysis and decision-making through a wide range of individual, small group and whole group activities. We honor the experience and knowledge of participants as a rich resource for learning by involving them in active participation and collaboration. We ensure that the needs and interests of the participants serve as both a starting point and ongoing guideposts as we frame the learning experience with real-life and work-related situations that lead to meaningful application of new knowledge and skills.
