Workplace Essential Skills Training Module
8. Collaborative Activity - Creating a Sample Lesson
(Note: paragraphs formatted like this on this page are facilitator comments.)
If time permits, ask participants to separate into small working groups.
(Facilitators should select small group configurations before the training,
based on similarities in student populations and program goals.) Group
members work together to "flesh out" one lesson plan - using the materials
reviewed during the day. Be sure to provide basic guidelines for the
lesson; for example, ask them to build before, during, and after viewing
activities into the lesson plan. Also, direct their attention to the
second half of Elmore's article because it suggests different approaches to
video viewing.
This activity is designed to help participants synthesize the various
components of Workplace Essential Skills. It should also reinforce
collaboration among group members - to a targeted end. Participants should
have a better sense of the "behind-the-scenes" work involved in planning a
lesson around any new resource.
A representative from each group will share their lesson plan
with the rest of the group.
