I have just posted the instructional plan in my group discussion board. The plan explains an eight hour one day course to be taught to my company on global cultures.
The format is a good one. There is a great deal of interaction and a great deal of variety in the course. The participants are all business professionals who are working more and more with customers and employees around the world.
I love interactive classes. I hate BORING classes. Let's get the people involved. This course will involve them and provide practical information for them.
Brookfield (2006) in The Skillful Teacher explains that students will not speak up and participate if we do all the talking for them. The solution - "stop talking so much" (Brookfield, p. 140). Break them up in groups to talk among themselves and then share to the whole. Ask questions. Do not let the class be spectators.
