Maximize engagement and retention with less talk and more interaction!

Today's students learn best by doing-as do most of us. This newest resource from Ron Nash is designed for educators who would rather "show" than "tell" to create highly interactive workshops. Packed with anecdotes, brain-compatible strategies, and checklists, the book provides practical tools for engaging participants to talk, reflect, brainstorm, and stretch beyond their comfort zones. Highlights include:

Techniques for shifting 80% of the workshop's workload to participants

  • Keys to enhancing retention with storytelling and laughter
  • Methods for analyzing and evaluating your presentations for ongoing improvement
  • Tips for extending learning beyond the workshop

The Active Workshop is ideal for seminar trainers, seminar facilitators, principals, and teacher leaders-anyone who works with elementary, secondary, and college educators in a training capacity.
