If you teach technical subjects in a classroom setting, this institute provides a nonthreatening, supportive environment for practicing new skills. The program is a very busy and enjoyable four days. We are very pleased with these comments since they come directly from the graduates and their managers. The class breaks up into small groups of six or seven people.
Participants bring in tasks from work, home, or from a hobby.
The main objective is to observe and critique the presentation and teaching process. The subject content is open. The training is videotaped, then replayed and critiqued. The peer critiques are summarized, averaged using a Likert scale, plotted on a line graph and returned to the participants. This gives the participants a more complete view for comparison with the others in their training group.
