Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW)

A 24 hour synchronous online professional learning experience

The Instructional Skills Workshop [ISW] is an internationally recognized professional development program supporting educators, facilitators and trainers in strengthening your practice through experiential learning reflection and feedback.  This process often opens the shift from being the sage-on-the-stage to becoming a guide-on-the-side.

Offered synchronously online over 24 hours, the ISW uses its highly effective framework As a baseline. In short theme sessions you will discover the best practices in adult learning, then you will action them in your own mini lessons.  And then, in a facilitated session your own participants will provide you with specific feedback that you can immediately apply.

Outcomes – what we will do

  • design learning centered lessons with clear outcomes
  • engage learners with active learning activities
