Brief Description: Class meets on January 15th from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Full Description: DESCRIPTION:
We’ve all heard that “experience is the best teacher,” yet we’ve all worked with someone who’s had plenty of experience but learned very little from it. The truth is, learning doesn’t come from experience alone—it comes from structured reflection. This session gives fire and EMS instructors, officers, and training leaders the tools to turn every call, drill, and incident review into a powerful learning opportunity. Participants will learn practical debriefing methods and adaptable formats—such as the modified Plus-Delta model—that work whether you’re running a quick kitchen-table talk after a company drill or leading a formal after-action review. These tools are essential for building stronger crews, improving operational performance, and reinforcing a culture of continuous learning across the organization.
