Applying the Knowledge

3-2-1: Participants respond individually on cards to the following prompt:

3 Specific new tools or strategies that I might use are...
2 Specific things I learned or were reminded about my own teaching/learning styles are...
1 An area on which I'd like to focus tomorrow, or a question that I have is...

Around the Room and Back Again: Have each participant write down one example or one new application of a topic or teaching strategy identified by the facilitator. Individuals move around the room and share their example with others. As you move, collect as many items as possible to add to your list. Group discussions can then be used to build on the lists and generate knowledge.

Case Study: Provide participants with case studies that contain relevant background information. After participants read a case, distribute debriefing questions and divide participants into small groups for discussion.

Professional Literature: Participants read, skim or study professional literature to draw conclusions about their own teaching and learning strategies, to suggest alternatives, or to solve problems.
