Education & Training Philosophy and Practice Series – Part 1f
Introduction
I have engaged in education and training practice for about a decade. I have been fortunate to have studied, facilitated and taught across eras, cultures, continents, industries and disciplines. As a result I have diverse experience, and most importantly I believe, perspective of education and learning. If you are relatively new to my self, or my professional practice including that of my Education and Training practice, I suggest you refer to my blog series, commencing with this one here (Page, 2004). I believe that series will assist you as the reader to situate your self into my worldview, and more particularly, my view of education and training practice.
[Note: I later refer to this practice as Learning & Teaching (L&T) Philosophy and Practice when I transitioned into the Higher Education (HE) sector].
Given the developmental nature of Learning & Teaching (L&T) Philosophy and Practice, I have continued to update this blog series to retain its currency in general, and relative to my specific practice at any given time, such as my Higher Education Creative Media practice at the current time.
Education & Training Session Plans (contd)
There are many forms of Education & Training Session Plans which I introduced in Education & Training Session Plans Part 5 (Page, 2001). This blog continues the series.
DLP’s Synopsis Education & Training Session Plan
What do I mean by this?
The synopsis plan is the most global of the Education & Learning Session Plans. A synopsis education & training session plan is a precise paragraph of what you as the very experienced education and leanring practitioner are planning to do within the learning session.
Possible Use: It is useful as the basis of marketing documents used in the promotion of the event
EG: see below [Note: I have elected to maintain the previous 2016 blog theme of the Higher Education (HE) Creative Media unit for consistency in comparison across the range of Session Plans presented to date].
