NOTE: The 6pm-7pm session will be followed by a 20-minute networking exercise, "ATD NYC Connections"!
The talent development space is estimated to be just shy of a $400 billion market (according to Statista), yet there seems to be a continued gap between traditional "Learning & Development" and Learning Science. To not only advance the world of talent development, but also to increase learning effectiveness in the industry, we need to incorporate more learning principles rooted in science and based on evidence!

Event Description:
In this interactive virtual event, John Harnisher, Ph.D, will discuss the ways to bring learning science principles into the work of training and developing talent, focusing on two key questions learners ask when truly engaged in a learning exercise.
- "How am I doing?" – Keeping in mind the need for feedback and fulfilling the need for milestones and guideposts along a learning journey.
- "What do I do next?" – Building trust between the learner and the trainer, teacher, instructor, coach, or organization is critical. Guiding learners to do the next thing that is right for them, to take the next step, in the learning process is paramount.
What you will learn:
Dr. Harnisher will provide examples and some tips on ways learning science principles are incorporated into training and development.
- Formative quizzing – this has to do with providing quizzes that alter the work to be completed by the learner; it is the basis for adapting the curriculum to learner needs.
- Spaced learning and interleaving – ensuring that work on specific learning objectives is spread apart to reduce fatigue and ensure that learning is permanently encoded. Interleaving is the notion of changing the mode and or topic of learning to keep students on track and engaged. Both of these topics reduce cognitive overload.
- Worked examples – In teaching any person a new task, the most critical phase is often the first step. Having an expert lead learners through an example and explaining the thinking process the expert engages reduces stress on the part of the learner and facilitates learning.
