Don't be afraid to try something new, or to add or tweak something. One of the greatest things about the workshop model is that it is virtually impossible to make mistakes. Your students will guide you. Be responsive, do what makes sense, and you really can not go wrong.

Next week will be my last day with them this year- I would LOVE to intersperse my workshop with quotes of encouragement during our transitions with gems of wisdom from teachers who are immersed in the program. What would be your words of encouragement to give them? We have had a yearlong workshop- adding pieces as the year progressed. Next year there will be coaches, but not as much "training." (Also- do I have permission to use your quote? AND how would you like to be acknowledged?
