Planning a workshop

Things to consider when planning a workshop, is it going to be the worst lesson ever?, think about your pet hates in a teacher:
-unenthusiastic
-talking off topic
-poor planning
-not hands on
-no encouragement
-negative attitude
-obvious favouritism
-lazy teachers
-talking too fast/slow/mumbling
-taking too long to get into lesson or onto topic
-smelly teachers
-environment in classroom
-no clear instructions,  unorganised plan
 

What makes a great lesson?
A standard leson should have/be
-presentation
-demo's to encourage students
-activeness towards subject
-control from both the teacher and students
-engaging
-educational
-clear tasks and instructions

As well as these a lesson/workshop should be fun, exciting,  enjoyable,  different,  unexpected, risk taking and it should stand out.
Getting to know students helps you understand their preferred learning styles as thry are all different, this enables you to adjust specific learning plans to their needs and make you aware of additional risk assessments required.
