Sample Agenda & Best Practices

Highly rated workshops make good use of the time allotted and incorporate active learning strategies. The agenda should ensure the learning objectives are met and adequate time is allowed for each activity, taking into account additional time needed for transitions to small group breakout sessions or other activities. We encourage presenters to create a learning environment where attendees of diverse perspectives can feel safe to contribute and learn.
