• Creating relationships in the classroom
• Working with "at risk" students
• Planning a new class and building a syllabus
• Handling the first class
• Creating a safe environment for learning
• Planning and facilitating group discussions
• Teaching through writing
• Utilizing simple tools (mind maps, advance organizers, "minute papers")
• Working with peer learning
• Using collaborative teaching

This is what various workshop attendees have said:

I got fired up in some discussions. It enhanced my creativity and thought process. I really felt a synergy rising from the discussions.

Using the "3 simple tools" in my classroom is possible and practical... loved the change diagram... reignited my passion to share with students and fellow teachers.

I particularly enjoyed the workshop on change and I like the informality of the sessions. I noticed that as the week went along, teachers started to relax and open up more.

Learned to think outside the box.

Presenters were well prepared for each and every session.

Knowledgeable speakers. They know their material... relaxed atmosphere.
