Calibrating for Excellence: In-house Lesson Observation Standards that Facilitate Trainer Development

Veaceslav Cusnir

Summary

In refining the quality of language training at EPAM, we spent about a year developing a tailored approach to calibrating our lesson observers. This ensured reliable and effective observations, which identified training needs and spurred bespoke training solutions. In my workshop, I'll share the lessons learned from this initiative and the key insights that have reshaped our trainer development strategies.
