OVERVIEW OF APPROACH TO DEVELOPING WORKSHOPS/COURSES:
- Meet with Design Team members (those identified by the client as sharing responsibility/interest/expertise re: the workshop/course outcomes)
- Understand the desired outcomes and content of workshop/course
- Understand the participants-to-be: their perceived need, major work issues, challenges to learning, learning styles, past training with the course content, current skill level, and nature of work
- Co-develop draft workshop agenda/course curriculum with input from design team members; and finalize using feedback
- Customize the workshop/course by identifying relevant life examples drawn from knowledge of the participants-to-be and the organization
- Develop and review the participant materials; discuss any questions or concerns with design team members; and finalize using feedback
- Integrate effective adult learning techniques: offer opportunities for all participants to participate, internalize, practice and receive feedback; use various presentation techniques that accommodate all learning styles (i.e. verbal, visual, written, hands-on practice and introspective-time to process information)
- Facilitate the workshop/course (consider a pilot session for evaluation of course content and related materials, if an ongoing workshop/course)
- Use the participants feedback (written, verbal & via body language) to improve the quality of workshop/course and to keep the organization informed of participants needs
- Make changes to the workshop agenda/course curriculum, as requested in writing and approved by the “Design Team”
