9:00AM-11:30AM-Problem Of Practice
At our January meeting, we began brainstorming ideas for our collaborative product: A Professional Learning Handbook. This is a tool that we can all use or adapt in our settings to provide an accessible resource of best practices for new and experienced facilitators. At this meeting, we will organize work groups to begin curating content for each of these sections of the handbook:
- Intro: Meeting the Needs of Adult Learners
- Quality Planning
- Checklist of things to consider
- Evaluation Impact
- Learning Designs
- Text protocols
- Collaboration
- The Day Of
- Differentiation/Formative Assessment
- A Skilled Facilitator
- Troubleshooting/Dos and Don’t/ Post-mortem
- Working with a co-presenter
- Marketing
- Resources
What to Bring: Resources, articles, books, and your brain! We will start to form teams that will define the section of our handbook and then we will get to work!
