[Ailist] Workshop ideas for Teachers

[Nancy Stetson]

>Hi Anu,

I would let them explore their own "best practices" through an Appreciative Inquiry into their best teaching moments.  We've done that a lot and it always works well!

>Hello fellow Ai-ers,

>I have a retreat for teachers coming up in mid June where there will be a
>half day workshop on 'Teaching Strategies'.  This is a private Sunday school
>that focuses highly on 'value-based' learning and living and has students
>from 5 to 16 year olds.  Being a Sunday school - the purpose is to
>supplement mainstream academic learning with character building and value
>based living. 
>
> 
>
>I am looking for ideas on some key teaching styles/strategies that can be
>part of the workshop to help teachers become 'excellent' teachers.  They are
>all very inspired and totally committed to this school and the students -
>but their approach and content of teaching is, to most degree, different
>from the mainstream schools - it focuses on nurturing individuals to build
>character etc. 
>
> 
>
>Any workshop ideas, teaching models, exercises, pointers would be a great
>starting point.
>
>Thanks much.
