2. THE STATEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVE
The facilitator should clearly state the Objective of the session.
The Objective will be the same or similar to the Learning Objective.
Check with the participants to ensure that they all have the same expectations.
If there are different expectations, be flexible in adapting the workshop.
If the Needs Assessment has been carried out correctly it will not be
necessary to make large changes. There are often small adaptations to
a workshop, which is good because participants are made to feel that
their concerns are important and are being listened to.
You may choose to write the Statement of The Objective on a flip chart
or on a blackboard. An example is shown below:
The Objective for the Disability Awareness Training Workshop
is:
- To increase the literacy instructors' understanding of the issues
facing people with disabilities in and out of the classroom
- To identify resources in the community that literacy instructors
can access
Remember the Statement of the Objective should take less than five
minutes.
3. ACTIVITIES
There are many resources available which describe activities. Some
activities can be adapted to fit the topic of your workshop. When choosing
the activities for the workshop remember who the participants are and
where the workshop will take place. The participants should feel comfortable
doing the activities.
The activities should take up most of the time during a workshop.
