What's the plan?
I'm Sumbella - and this month as part of the Well Teachers curriculum we are focusing on facilitation. In this spirit, this free session will take you through the steps, strategies, and techniques that I use to create and facilitate an engaging workshop experience for teachers.
As we explore, I'll share:
the start-to-finish process of designing a workshop
how I create a series of activities that flow and blend well together
how I make sure I finish on time, every time
how I bring joy / fun / movement into the workshop
This is set to be an interactive session and I will share ideas for both in person and virtual workshops.
