The Active Workshop

Today's students learn best by doing-as do most of us. The Active Workshop is designed for educators who need to "show" rather than "tell" in creating highly interactive workshops. Packed with anecdotes, brain-compatible strategies, and checklists, the book provides practical tools for engaging participants to talk, reflect, brainstorm, and stretch beyond their comfort zones. Highlights include:- Techniques for shifting 80% of the workshop's workload to participants - Keys to enhancing retention with storytelling and laughter - Methods for analyzing and evaluating your presentations for ongoing improvement - Tips for extending learning beyond the workshop The Active Workshop is ideal for seminar trainers, seminar facilitators, headteachers, and teacher leaders-anyone who works with primary, secondary and further education educators in a training capacity.
