Course Description: Have you ever been faced with an instructional challenge, for example, being asked to present a mandatory in-service - at lunchtime or at the end of the day on
Friday. Have you ever tried to teach 1st year DPT students about professionalism - just before an anatomy midterm?? How can we grab our audience’s attention, maintain it, and be
sure they learned what we wanted them to learn? The content of this workshop was offered at CSM 2008. This two day workshop has been expanded to include additional application
opportunities for all participants. Participants will experience a broad array of instructional strategies, apply them to topics of their choice to enhance their own presentations, and consult
with one another to develop optimal methods of delivery. This workshop will present a systematic method of instruction and will engage the whole learner in a time efficient and
effective manner. Whether you are a presenter or evaluator this model provides a 7-step framework that will help you plan, implement, and assess effective presentations. From the
needs assessment to the summative assessment, this model utilizes a variety of active learning strategies that incorporate learners’ past experiences and learning styles. Participants
will learn about motivational hooks, content boosters, active learning strategies, and practical formative and summative assessment techniques. Strategies for gauging attention and
changing the energy of the group to maintain focus will be modeled. Participants will experience a variety of active learning strategies that can easily be incorporated into a continuum
of educational designs that range from brief in-services to semester long courses. Participants are encouraged to bring a topic or presentation to work on throughout the day. Participants
will work in small groups to apply, practice and fine tune the methods discussed. This presentation will culminate in an enjoyable summative activity that will allow participants to
integrate what they have learned while enabling the instructors to assess whether learners have assimilated content sufficiently for use.

OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

1. Apply the elements of systematic effective instruction (SEI) including needs assessments, motivational hooks, content boosters, active learning strategies, summaries, formative
and summative assessments.
2. Develop effective presentations that incorporate active learning strategies.
3. Describe a summative experiential activity that engages the whole brain and reinforces integration, application, and deeper learning.
4. Critique and provide feedback to enhance the effectiveness of future presentations.
5. Develop summative activities for assessment purposes.
