Format:

We are actively seeking to diversify the types of learning formats at the National Forum. Your proposal is most likely to be considered if the contentis able to be presented in one of the following formats.

Buzz Session: This type of session is where there is no presentation but rather a facilitated conversation around a topic(s). It relies on audience participation. At the end of the session each group presents their findings to the larger group. This style is used when the group is exploring new territory and the focus is idea generation from the wealth of knowledge amongst the participants in the session. ​

Walk Abouts: A session where participants break into small groups based on a topic of common interest and learn on their feet! Provides an opportunity to walk the grounds and chat with a few colleagues about a provocative topic. For use when participants can learn by engaging with a small groups of peers on a defined topic with which they are already familiar.

Simulation Encounter: A mode of instruction that relies on imitating or estimating how an event, process, skill, or behavior might occur in a real situation. For use when content can be conveyed through a single example which can be replicated on-site.

Flipped Classroom: Participants are provided with access to new content before the National Forum in order to participate in more active learning and discussion of this content during their National Forum session. This allows participants to receive more feedback and coaching from faculty.

NOTE: Requires presenters to prepare pre-work and engage participants prior to the National Forum and a process to ensure that this happens.

Lecture: Highly didactic session with little attendee participation followed by 10-15 minutes of Q&A. For use when a high amount of content needs to be taught with minimal interaction.

Case Study: An intensive analysis of an individual unit or situation. Case studies present participants with realistic, complex, and contextually rich situations. For use when content is best communicated through a dilemma, conflict, or problem that must be negotiated.

Controversy Panel: To stimulate interest and debate, arrange for two or more views on a controversial issue to be presented. A moderator may challenge panelists and sharpen the focus of discussion. For use when a few varied perspectives need to be included in a session.

Rapid-Fire Sessions: Each rapid-fire session has one moderator who is responsible for making sure each presenter gets through a small amount of content in a narrow time frame. For the National Forum, presenters have 10 minutes to get through 10 slides on a topic.
