Who This Author Is
Dave Arch writes with practical clarity for educators and trainers, drawing all material from his 1999 book Tricks For Trainers. The book collects hands-on exercises, classroom games, and facilitation techniques designed to enliven sessions, sharpen learning, and help instructors adapt activities for different group sizes and objectives.

Tricks For Trainers is presented as a workshop-ready toolkit—ready-to-use activities that prioritize engagement, pacing, and creating opportunities for reflection and skill practice.
