Presencing Global Classroomformat
 

Format
Each session includes a 60-minute teaching/lecture module and a 30-minute live question/answer discussion module. Participants are encouraged to work in small groups 30 minutes before and after each session.

Each class will include a small practical assignment that helps to ground the classroom discussion in the real life and leadership experiences of the participants.

The Presencing Global Classroom will start Thursday, September 18, 2008, and continue with weekly Thursday sessions for five weeks.

Time Required
The minimum time requirement for participating in the Global Classroom is 90 minutes in the formal weekly sessions and 90 minutes of individual work outside the session (to practice using the tools presented in each session). In addition, participants are encouraged to join small groups (2 x 30 minutes) before and after each session.

Reflection Papers
To help deepen your understanding, we recommend that you send us brief reflection papers after each weekly session.		 Small Group Work
We highly recommend that participants meet in small groups for 30 minutes before and after each session. You will receive instructions for the small group discussions each week. Indicate on your registration whether you intend to participate in this element of the Presencing Global Classroom, and we will provide contact information for four other participants. Small groups connect either via Skype or by dialing a US conference call number (the phone charges must be covered by the participant). Participants will self-organize their small group work.

Social Networking
As part of the Presencing Global Classroom you will have the opportunity to meet other participants for social networking. You can post your profile and interact with participants around questions, experiences, and ideas. You will receive details after your registration. The Presencing Global Classroom networking space will be a valuable asset both during the program and after its completion.
