Facilitating Collaborative Learning

Humans are social creatures, so it is not too surprising that educational experiences that are interactive, COLLABORATIVE, and engaging lead to deeper LEARNING!In this workshop, we explore how to develop routines, procedures, structures, and spaces to create an environment of respect and rapport where collaborative learning thrives. Designed for teachers and facilitators of adult and youth groups, this workshop features a wide variety of cooperative learning strategies.  From the establishment of norms  to daily rituals and routines, you'll gather many tips and tricks to foster collaborative and interactive learning. Please join us for coffee at 8:15am, and then engage in an interactive session with colleagues from across the region! REGISTRATION WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL FRIDAY, MAY 11TH. Space is limited, so please register soon! __If you have questions, please email pd @ umojacorporation.org. ------------------------- _Please Note: In order to make our workshops available to a broad and diverse audience, we are using a sliding scale payment model, which means you choose how much you pay.
