Afternoon Workshop Instructions
*Please note: this workshop is only recommended for faculty/staff groups who enjoy sitting and discussing topics relevant to classroom teaching and/or their students. This is not a passive session where the speaker imparts a lot of new information except through the scenario process.
If you have contracted with Dr. Manning to do an afternoon faculty or all college workshop, please follow these instructions. If you are conducting a faculty workshop, you need to copy the handout for millennial faculty workshop (one for each attendee). If you are doing an all-college workshop (inviting people other than faculty), you need to make copies of the handout for 12 groups (one copy for each attendee).
The workshop is a more relaxed session consisting of break-out groups with small group discussion. This needs to be conducted in a room with round or rectangular tables where groups can sit face-to-face and discuss. It does not work as well in an auditorium. No technology is needed for this session except a microphone if it is in a large or noisy room. At the beginning of the workshop, individuals are broken up in:
8 groups if conducting a faculty only workshop
12 groups if conducting an all college workshop
Each group is given: (1) a handout for the session (mentioned above), and (2) two articles about their scenario topic. The entire group does not get copies of every article, only the two articles about their assigned scenario.
How many copies to make:
As an example: if you have 80 faculty members who will attend the workshop, they will be split into 8 groups of 10 each. Group one will get scenario one and will need copies of the two articles that go with scenario one. Group two will get scenario two and will need copies of the two articles that go with scenario two…. and so on. Since you will have 10 in each group, you will need to make 10 copies of each article.
80 people divided into 8 groups = 10 copies of each article
100 people divided into 8 groups = 13 copies of each article
120 people divided into 8 groups = 15 copies of each article (and so on)
