Foundational Workshop Pedagogy

Apply the backward design principle to plan the workshop, starting from desired student outcomes.

Write specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) learning objectives for each workshop session.

Distinguish essential from supplementary content to fit within a time-constrained 10-hour workshop.

Structure a 2-hour session into logical segments: introduction, instruction, practice, and debrief.

Balance the proportion of theory, demonstration, and hands-on practice across the 5-session arc.

Plan smooth transitions between different activity types (e.g., lecture, demonstration, hands-on work) within a session.
