Workshop Hints
|
- Preconference
workshops must be highly participatory sessions.
Since these workshops range from two to five hours, presenters
must plan for participants to be involved and participate in the
session not simply sit and be lectured to on a topic.
- Participants
expect to leave preconference workshops with information, material,
strategies, and ideas that they can take back to their campuses
and use effectively.
Preconference workshops should be very hands-on and issue specific
with material, activities, strategies and techniques that the
participants can effectively use in their individual situations.
Presenters should come prepared to answer questions concerning
implementation and other issue specific questions.
- Presenters
should plan varying presentation formats for preconference workshops.
Due
to the length of preconference workshops, presenters should plan
to include some lecture as well as possible small and large group
activities, question and answer period
- Workshops
should last the entire time indicated in the registration brochure.
Please remember that participants have paid an additional fee
to attend your workshop; therefore, it is important that you come
prepared with material and information for the entire time period
you have been allotted
- Rooms
for preconference workshops are set "classroom style"
-rows
of long narrow tables with chairs. There will be a head table,
chairs, and either a tabletop or floor podium in the front of
the room.
- Enrollment
is initially limited to 35
-if your workshop reaches the limit, the NACADA Executive Office
will contact you to see if you are willing to accept more participants.
Do not ask for the enrollment number to be limited to a lesser
number; we are trying to accommodate as many of our attendees
as possible.
- Participant
List -You
may contact the Executive Office one to two weeks prior to the
conference to request a list of attendees who have signed up for
your workshop to help you determine how many handouts you will
need. A Participant List of persons
signed up for your session will also be available at the conference
registration desk when you check in so you can have an updated
list. Check at the New Registrations counter for a copy of the
Participant List.
