Goal of the Module This informs you of the overall training (purpose of the Module). At the beginning of the training the Trainer will ask the participants to write down their expectations for the entire training on a piece of paper/card. It is recommended that you review the goals with the trainees when you start training each module. It is recommended that the Trainer assigns a participant(s) to recap key learning points of the previous days. The Trainer may choose to have expectations at the beginning of each model
ObjectivesThe objectives state the minimum that trainees should learn from the Module. When you start each Module, state the objectives for the trainees. You may also want to write the objectives on a flipchart or chalkboard and refer back to them when you finish the Module. Note: The facilitator to ensure that the participants demonstrate their understanding of each module by listing key learning points as guided by the facilitator
What is in this moduleThis section outlines the contents of the Module. Writing the outline on a flipchart, display on the screen (LCD or chalkboard) will give trainees the overall picture of the contents and purpose of the Module

Core of the ModuleBetween the Introduction and the Summary of each Module, there are a number of sections containing the specific information on the topic of the Module. You will need to familiarize yourself with the information if it is new to you and then present it to the trainees. If necessary, you may supplement this information with other resources, such as textbooks
Points to RememberAfter each main section of text, you will find a list of points to remember. These are the “take home” messages for each Segment, that is, a summary of the most important points contained in the section. Review these points with the trainees as you finish each section. The review will help to reinforce the main points. Note: The facilitator may ask participants to list down in the workbook key
learning points as per the sub-topics at the end of the module
SummaryThis section provides a conclusion to the Module. It is recommended that you review the summary with the trainees when you finish the Module. At that point, you may wish also to restate the Module objectives so trainees can see what has been accomplished
ExercisesEach Module may have at least one exercise at the end of it. The exercises will give trainees the opportunity to apply some of what they have learned from the Modules, and can be designed to reinforce what has been taught. It is recommended that you adapt the exercises to local situations as much as possible and use as many of them as time allows
EvaluationEach module must be evaluated at the end of the sessions to gauge the Trainees impressions and suggestions on the module. This can be done through simple tools such as Google forms
