Robert Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction is a step-by-step guide for teaching in a way that really helps people learn. Instead of just presenting information and hoping it sticks, Gagné laid out a clear sequence of stages that make learning more effective.
Each of the nine “events” plays a specific role in the process – from grabbing learners’ attention at the start, to helping them apply and retain what they’ve learned at the end. Together, they create a structured flow that supports understanding, skill development, and long-term retention.
This staff meeting starter encourages staff to consider the nine events when they design a sequence of lessons to support the cognitive processes needed for effective learning and to make sure the information ‘sticks’.
