Target audiences also include Higher Education Faculty; Policy Makers in Adult and Continuing Education; Corporate Human Resource Development Specialists, Training Department Facilitators and Managers; High School Faculty; Financial Management Instructors; Adult Basic Educators; English as a Second Language Teachers; Religious Education Instructors; and, Social Service Agency Learning Specialists who are currently working with diversity of international folks.

Session Description

The lecture is used regularly in educational or workplace settings. It is often used as a 'one-way' communication from speaker to listeners. However, in this session the 'living lecture' will be demonstrated, including added techniques interspersed within the lecture to provide multi-directional communication among speaker and audience participants. The short lecture will focus on linking elements of teachers' beliefs, teachers' feelings, and teachers' behaviors with the adult educators' leadership practices in different levels include: level 1 (position), level 2 (permission), level 3 (production), level 4 (people development), and level 5 (pinnacle). Before the lecture, the participants will be asked to serve as "listening teams" according to the section of the room they are sitting in - one section to listen to the presentation/lecture for points requiring clarification [the clarification team], another for points with which they disagree [the rebuttal team], another for points they wish to have elaborated on [the elaboration team], and a fourth for problems of practical application they wish the speaker to address [the application team]. After the short lecture, the teams will be asked to "buzz" in groups to raise up their questions. The speaker responds actively to all the questions until the time runs out.
