Workshop guidance Structure

Session plan, timed, referenced, variety and practiced! Delivery style

Will you talk all the time? Will the audience do all the talking? Somewhere in the middle but how? Lions to Lambs (will yours be like this)

My best experiences Styles of teaching on this course My old boss Colleague from school My old PE teacher etc.

Workshop guidance cont: Content

Use the NOS elements to define some of your content! Be prepared to justify your choice Overview of your strategy Identify at least one inclusive theme or business

development focus Why is your theme important to the future of your

Sport/Business? Have you spoken to industry professionals about your ideas

or can you demonstrate literature support? i.e. I don’t just want to see your ideas I need to see you’ve tested them…do they work…what do industry professionals think of them etc.

Workshop guidance cont:

Active engagement throughout the conference

Asking constructive questions Participating in tasks and group discussions Using the information for future employment and

asking questions of the keynote speakers Amending your workshop with information gleaned

from others

contributed to your group so far? Identify your academic framework/management tools…do

you plan on using more than 1? Explain why you have selected this What is your main content element within your

presentation? What requirements do you have? Then I’ll select a couple of people at random and we’ll hear

what they have to say! It could be anything from your visit, your management

framework/ tool, your input on Face book, your NOS discussion or some kind of resource that you’ve found?
