 How long is the Enrichment Workshop?
- Each workshop is tailored to the host institution's needs. The shortest workshop to date has been 4 hours and the longest 4.5 days. Obviously, the longer the workshop, the more material we can cover and practicals we can schedule.
What time of day does the workshop meet?
- This is determined by the host institution. Considerations include staff working hours and local customs. Often we offer optional discussions and/or video viewing at night in addition to a full day's schedule.
How many participants can attend the workshop?
- This is determined by the host institution. We have conducted workshops with as few as 20 and as many as 70 participants. Of course, practicals become more difficult as the size of the group increases. For larger workshops, we may divide the group into 2 or more sections for practicals. Based on duration, curriculum, and practicals (type and number), we suggest 1 instructor for every 12-25 participants. For workshops including participants from multiple institutions, we recommend that at least 2 participants from each institution attend.
If we host a workshop, can we send different staff on different days to ensure that all who want to attend may?
- This is discouraged because, with very few exceptions, each day's curriculum is designed to build on previous material. However, compromises may be found. For example, after the workshop is finished, the instructor could present a lecture to a larger audience, synopsing the workshop's content and activites.
Who determines the workshop content and activities?
- The workshop instructor, having conferred with the host representative, will determine the content and activities based on need, duration, etc.
How are the instructors selected for each workshop?
- The Shape of Enrichment has several approved workshop instructors, each with his or her own specialty. Our instructors are scattered around the globe, in the USA, Brazil, and Australia. Once the content and schedule of the workshop are determined, our Workshop Coordinator will assign the instructor(s) based on their availability and specialty.
How do we schedule an Enrichment Workshop?
- Those interested in scheduling an Enrichment Workshop should contact the Workshop Coordinator as soon as possible. Because most of our instructors are working professionals, we recommend that prospective hosts have flexibility in scheduling the workshop. Dates will be determined by host and instructor availability.
