Ruth and all:

I appreciate the feedback!  What is being offered here is similar to the microteaching sessions mentioned by Sarah in her reply.  The department wants to see the process live and on a biology topic.  I am encouraged by Sarah's story about her microteaching session, but Laura made a good point about watching the time. 

I think everybody would get a kick out of being given some reading to get through beforehand like Sarah and Theresa have done.  That would make certainly make time management less of an issue.   

I will certainly distribute the video link as well.

Thanks!
Dan

If I only had 20 minutes, I would show the 12 minute TBL video created by Michael Sweet on the TBLC website, take 2 minutes to show resources for future training (e.g. books, the website), then answer questions for the next 6 minutes.

Hi everybody!

I have a chance to show off the TBL practice to interested colleagues, but I have an absurdly short amount of time that cannot be altered (20 minutes).  The topic can be condensed into a single detailed figure, so I was thinking about the following itinerary:

First 5 minutes -  Complete a 2 question individual RAT over the figure they have just been handed.
Next 5 minutes -  Do the Team RAT
Use the next two minutes to clear up misunderstandings from the RAT
Final 8 minutes - Application activity.

Is that condensing things too far?  Should I really just focus on designing a meaningful 20 minute application activity and explain that students would have done a preparation process beforehand?

Thanks,
Dan
