Workshop and Educational Program Topics

 

 

The timeframes for workshops and educational programs vary depending the participant needs,

skill levels and degree of practical application opportunities.  The timeframes listed below simply

provide the average or typically requested timeframe for each specific topic.  Each session is easily

modifiable to meet specific learner needs.  There are also “overview sessions” which are short

sessions that provide an overview of key learnings for each session (presentation style vs.

workshop approach).

 

All workshops are delivered utilizing adult education principles and include a variety and combination

of instructional approaches including:  ice breaker exercises, printed course materials and handouts,

innovative and stimulating PowerPoint presentation, experiential exercises, role plays, 1:1 support

and coaching, group discussions (small and large group), case studies, independent research and

exploration exercises, and self assessments.  Each course or session is built upon a solid framework

of specific learning objectives.  Where applicable, courses may have practical assessments, quizzes,

exams, panel discussions and guest speakers.  Modules include but are not limited to:
