Goals of your regional workshop What are your goals for your regional workshop? How are your goals aligned with the SAGE 2YC project goals?

Effective Workshop Design 1. The activities of the workshop follow directly from the workshop goals, just as effective teaching activities follow directly from student learning goals. The workshop actively engages participants in learning. Effective workshops actively engage participants and provide opportunities both for participants to learn from one another and to make progress on applying what they have learned in the workshop to their own teaching situations. Workshop sessions are planned, down to the minute. Good workshops that appear to flow spontaneously reflect extensive planning by leaders, a clear understanding of the program and its objectives by everyone involved, and realistic planning for how long session activities will really take. 2. 3. http://serc.carleton.edu/sage2yc/CA-workspace/guidelines.html
Design Your Workshop to Meet Your Goals For each goal, ask yourself, What could we do, or have workshop participants do, to ensure that we meet this goal? Make sure that each workshop session directly contributes to meeting one or more of the workshop goals If necessary, revise your workshop goals as you develop the program. For example, you might discover that your goals are too ambitious for the time available. Think beyond topics/session titles. How will you engage workshop participants in learning about the topics? Think about resources. What resources do you need that you already have? What resources will you need to find?
Begin Drafting Your Workshop Website Find the link to your program page from this session on today s agenda: http://serc.carleton.edu/sage2yc/workshops/jun e2016/program.html#Fri Start typing.

Rory, Carol, Eric, and others can help with website editing if you have questions.
Peer Review Workshop Agendas Pair up with the same team that reviewed your workshop goals Review each other s workshop programs, using the rubric and guiding questions provided Does it meet the guidelines for SAGE 2YC regional workshops?
