framework of an individual lesson. Forinstance, the syllabus is a basic building block of course construction. Even experiencedteachers seem to have issues related to the syllabus that they are interested in exploring withother teachers. Active learning, classroom assessment techniques, motivation, and learningstyles are other topics addressed in this 15-hour workshop.
