What happens In a Doody's Educational Workshop?
We normally have an opening assembly with all the children and explain what they will all be doing during their workshop session. The assembly is then dismissed and each class brought back for their own workshop. Each Workshop is conducted with all the children participating in the same activity at the same time. This allows for those, who pick up a certain skill quickly to encourage the rest of the class. This promotes a sense of being in a team. It also prevents the class from becoming fragmented. We find that participants get very little reward from a "Round Robbin" style workshop as the teacher can not be with each group all the time.
"I believe learning new skills builds confidence and is fun. Some of the activities are quite simple and they can be taken away and continued to be developed on their own. With a little practice it will not be long before they are impressing their family, friends and themselves . Some of the more challenging activities require more practice and therefore encourage long term learning."
