Pre-Conference Workshop (optional)
Building Learning That Lasts: Applying Adult Learning and Memory Science
Most training is designed to deliver content, but less attention is often given to how well that information is remembered and applied. This interactive workshop focuses on designing learning that sticks and supports real-world decision-making in policing contexts. Participants will apply adult learning principles and insights from memory science to transform passive content into interactive, scenario-based learning, and will leave with a practical activity they can use in their own courses. The session is hands-on and application-focused, with participants actively redesigning course elements throughout. In the week leading up to the workshop, participants will receive a few brief (two to three minute) pre-work emails to introduce key concepts and maximize time for practical work during the session, with optional follow-up refreshers to support continued application.
Please note that this is an optional pre-conference workshop on Tuesday, September 22. Registration is required.
