“ ”TEACHING TECHNIQUESName: Bobby WashingtonDistrict Council: 77 (AL, GA, NC, SC, TN)Local Union: 1940WHAT OUR TRAINERS ARE SAYING ABOUT FTI COURSES!My experience in the FTI Teaching Techniques classtaught me how to diversify my teaching strategies andintegrate technology in my classroom. These types ofresources will help me gain the experience and expertise Ineed to become a successful trainer.LEAD CLASSName: Steve WaylandDistrict Council: 58 (Southern Illinois)Local Union: 1299For me, every aspect of the class was enjoyable. Theteach backs, learning from the other instructors, sharingexperiences I have had performing the work in the field (aswell as my job as an instructor), and even finding myweaknesses in my presentation of the material all positivelycontribute to making me a better instructor.IUPAT Trainers Dan Riley(left) and Steve Wayland.INTERNATIONALIUPAT Trainers Bobby Washington(left) and Mike Moreschi.Name: Mike MoreschiDistrict Council: 35 (Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire)Local Union: 1280This time spent at the FTI gave me the chance to interactand collaborate with my fellow union brothers on anational level. The fact that our leadership is so accessibleand respectful of the rank and file members is proof thatthe IUPAT is the members' union.The most important and enjoyable aspect of this coursewas the challenge to think differently about training andthe way I will be training apprentices now. I feel that I havea stronger foundation to build my instructor skills upon.Name: Dan RileyDistrict Council: 3 (Missouri)Local Union: 861Considering I had very little experience in lead beforeattending this class, I now feel like I could go out and dothe work safely and productively. Sharing knowledge withmy union brothers and sisters is critical to the success of ourunion.The residence hall and the new Headquarters areabsolutely fabulous. This past week has been a greatexperience, thank you.O C T O B E R - D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 0 • J O U R N A L 25
