Workshop Components
On-Site Activities
Weekly workshop sessions may be scheduled around
live broadcasts, in which case you will want to begin at least 30
minutes before the scheduled broadcast. You may prefer to pre-record
the programs on videocassette, and schedule the sessions at a time
that is more convenient for all participants. Sessions should be
scheduled for a minimum of two hours.
The support
materials provide activities and discussion topics for pre-and
post-viewing investigations that complement weekly programs.
Getting Ready (Site Investigation)
In preparation for watching the program, you
will engage in 30 minutes of investigation through discussion and
activity.
Watch the Workshop Video
Then you will watch 60 minutes of video with
classroom footage, commentary, science demonstrations, and more.
Going Further (Site Investigations)
Wrap up the workshop with an additional 30 minutes
of investigation through discussion and activity.
For Next Time
Homework Assignment
You will be assigned exercises and activities
that tie into the last workshop or prepare you for the next one.
Workshop Journal
A critical part of talking steps toward change
is representing learning along the way. This is a deliberate process
that calls for reflecting upon your own understandings before, during,
and after key experiences, and documenting how these understanding
change. While there are numerous ways to represent learning, we
suggest using a journal. As the workshops progress, pay particular
attention to changes in your thinking and the implications of these
changes, and record them in your journal.
