Practice leading a small group session during a hands-on group exercise. At the end of this session, participants will be able to: Discuss the characteristics of different kinds of small groups. List two factors for success and two pitfalls to avoid in development of new small group sessions. Create guidelines for asking and responding to questions. Apply small group techniques to effectively teach content currently taught in lecture format in a small group setting. Describe solutions to challenges of small group learning both in design and group dynamics. Set personal goals for applying the skills learned in this workshop to one's own practice setting, and review a tool designed to assess performance of new teaching skills.
