It is an interactive lesson that looks at passive, aggressive, assertive and indirect behaviours. There is opportunity for pair work and group work activities and discussion that explores the best way to handle situations.
Two workbooks are provided. One for students to work through either paper based or digitally on Word, and a Teacher workbook that contains answers.
I have used this with small groups of learners and it has been very well received. The session concludes with students carrying out roleplay activities.
This is a complete lesson on complaint resolution using the TACTICS method.
The resource contains a lesson plan, worksheets, diagrams of the model, a company policy to review, and practical exercises for the group to carry out. There is also a feedback form included.
The acronym TACTICS is used to work through a step by step process to handle a complaint from a customer. This is an important aspect of customer service. Once the learner has reviewed the process, it is a good idea to have the class separate into groups and role play various complaints scenarios using this method. All documentation is provided.
I have used this successfully with a Business training class. They enjoyed it and provided excellent feedback.

This is an excellent resource to use for groups of people that have just come together, as a class or as a project team. It consists of an interactive powerpoint presentation that introduces the topic of values and starts the thought process of what values really are and why they are so important to identify on a personal and group level.
The resource also contains a three page worksheet that has over 50 values listed. The group go through and identify their own values and then as a team agree on the top 5 values going forward. This is a great bonding exercise and allows the group to identify their own values and beliefs instead of having a teacher and / or facilitator imposing them on them. It is also a good team building activity that tests their negotiation skills.
Sets the stage for an excellent learning programme to commence with motivated learners.
