• Explore the comprehensive Instructor's Guide , a valuable resource they'll refer to for ideas and support
• Actively participate in actual activities, brainstorming, and discussions -- the same content they'll cover with their own students
• Visualize the planning process -- so when they leave the workshop they're committed, willing, and enthusiastic about the prospect of teaching it

FACILITIES REQUIRED:
Each of the above workshops require:
• A room with round tables for the lecture/activity portion
• A computer lab with each computer linked to the Internet and staffed by a technician. Ideally, each workshop participant should have their own computer, but the workshop is still valuable if two participants share a computer.
