This workshop is not about Training from the BACK of the Room.
It is Training from the BACK of the Room.
"Powerful strategies that can be put into action tomorrow"
— Janey Bustillos, Project Manager, FUSD Early Learning
Two days that will change every training you ever run again
The TBR Practitioner Workshop is a 2-day, brain-based learning experience for anyone who teaches, trains, facilitates, or presents — in any setting, on any topic.
Every minute of both days is designed and delivered using the same TBR principles you'll be learning. Which means you won't just understand the framework intellectually — you'll have lived it. You'll know exactly what it feels like to be in a room where the learning is active, the energy is high, and the time flies. And you'll walk out knowing how to create that experience for your own participants.
That's not an accident. It's the point.
The 4Cs Map
C
Connections
Tap to see moreBefore new content is introduced, learners connect it to what they already know. The brain cannot encode new information in isolation — it needs an anchor. This stage eliminates the blank stare and replaces it with genuine curiosity.
C
Concepts
Tap to see moreContent is delivered in short, focused segments aligned to the brain's natural attention window. No more 90-minute lectures. Information is chunked, varied, and deliberately paced so the brain can keep up.
C
Concrete Practice
Tap to see moreLearners apply, create, discuss, or teach the content before leaving the session. This is where retention actually happens — not in the listening, but in the doing.
C
Conclusions
Tap to see moreLearners summarize and personalize their own takeaways. This final stage cements long-term retention by asking each person to make meaning in their own words — which is the only kind of meaning that sticks.
