The following goals provide a framework for each of the workshops I design and implement, regardless of topic:
- ground the content in the educational literature, support it by research when appropriate, and augment it through personal experience
- create an atmosphere which fosters group discussion and promotes self-reflection
- actively engage the participants using effective teaching strategies
- explicitly model the ideas I’m trying to convey
