While some of the same material was reviewed as at the first workshop, this workshop focused on adapting EDI procedures for the children as they develop and observing trainers in actual home visits, to provide constructive feedback.
All the organisations that were represented at the first workshop were represented at the follow-up workshop.
The workshops are innovative in character, and their objectives and their concepts will be described, as well as the experience gained from the first workshop in Brazil.
As Ian Prosser, one of the first workshop leaders, always said to participants, If you're not willing to make your goal specific and measurable, most likely you won't be responsible for achieving it either.
By ANOVA, prior to the first workshop and as expected, both the treatment and control groups scored significantly lower on their pre scores relative to the pre scores of the AP teachers (average total score of 81 and 82 respectively vs. 91 for the AP pilot group out of a possible total score of 125, p < 0.05).
To illustrate the importance of self-testing for student learning, we used a self-testing exercise as the second workshop activity.
At the same time, 60 subjects who finished the first workshop were selected to act as gerentological promoters, who participated in the second workshop.
In 2005, seven participants attended the first workshop, and eight participants attended the second workshop.
The first workshop, "Start-up Basics" is free.
