A Quote on Leadership

Just thought I'd throw these two out there:

-Jesse Jackson

"The only real training for leadership is leadership."

-Anthony Jay

January meeting stuff

Okay guys, we just finished the January meeting. Here are my notes from the meeting. As I did not get there as soon as some people, I don't have all of the notes. Someone please post anything that I'm missing.

MOL session

The purpose of sessions - to reach a common goal.
How do you get the most of candidates? - teach to each learning style

MOL format:
Planning (Objectives)

• what is going to happen in this session?
• GD + App
• what do I want to happen? - achieve a common goal of teaching PL skills

Guided Discovery (teacher = guide to discovery)

• game
• find what prerequisites the candidates know
• often active
• create a sense of need for the skill
• more later in my notes

Teach/learn

• formats = Q/A, lecture, use of examples (relevance)
• teach to all three styles of learner - kinsthetic, auditory, visual

Application

• active, evaluates what taught
• what stuck?
• re-apply sense of need for the skill

Evaluation

• review what happened
• what worked and didn't with this group
• what could be changed
• did the candidates learn the skill?
