For live face to face events (not keynotes), our limit is 35 participants per trainer. This ensures your learners have a quality experience and get the support they need to integrate new ideas successfully. This number can vary slightly, but we find this the ideal number of people who one experienced trainer can help efficiently during most face to face learning experiences. Our virtual sessions can accommodate almost any size of group to meet your school or district’s needs. To assure quality, we add experienced moderators based on the number of participants you will have in a single group learning setting. This means we’re able to quickly address learner’s issues in the moment and differentiate with breakout groups as needed. We have found using moderators in this way to be an effective tool for swift communication; in addition, we suggest requiring learners to complete an assignment, customize a template, or use the friEdTech Learning Portfolio to document and integrate their learning to be an effective method of increasing learner accountability and participation. If I know I’m going to have to “do something” with my learning, I’m more apt to give my learning experience my full attention. According to Hattie’s Influences, strategies to integrate with prior knowledge and transfer strategies both show a marked effect size. We also know that using strategies such as this gives teachers valuable instructional models they can implement in their own classrooms.
