Workshop Proposal
In your Final Project, imagine that your supervisor at the Multigenerational Center has requested a proposal for a workshop to be presented, by you, at the Center. Your Workshop Plan will be a topic of your choice based on your field of study and the needs of your audience. You will use the Ashford University Multigenerational Center Activity from Week 1 to understand your audience and to choose a topic for your workshop. Your supervisor has requested that you use a specific
Summative Template
to ensure that all components are comprehensively addressed. Since this is a substantial project for a new employee, your supervisor (instructor) will review major components of your proposal before your final submission.
Assignment Directions

Part 4: Strategies
Partnerships
· Determine which of the other program(s) at the multigenerational center could also benefit from the Workshop.
· You must choose at least one additional program.
Chose from:
BA Child Development (BACD)
· BA Cognitive Studies (BACS)
· BA Early Childhood Education (BAECE)
· BA Early Childhood Administration (BAECEA)
· BA Education Studies (BAES)
· BA English Language Learner Studies (BAELLS)
· BA Instructional Design (BAID)
· BA Library Science and Media (BALS)
Explain why they would benefit.
BACS
BAECE
BACD
BAES
BAELLS
BACS
If shelter dog were brought in to be trained, all the above groups would benefit.
I would suggest the BACS works with the Senior Center to find willing participants to help train. I would specifically suggest bringing in small dogs who are beyond the puppy stage, so they are more manageable. My intent would be that one or more of the senior would chose to adopt a dog and have a new companion. Also, those that have had dogs in the past would be patient and understanding with dogs who did not have owners. A friendship could blossom.
BAECE, BACD, BAES
I would suggest for the child-centered groups that the children work with an adult to help train the dogs. This would offer the child more responsibility which would lead to increased confidence. According to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (2013), A child who learns to care for an animal learn to treat their peers with the same kindness.
This should be at least one paragraph.
Strategies
You will find multiple strategies to present your Workshop in your Week Five Required Reading.
List Strategy #1 here
Grouping
The instructor should group dogs who are of similar ability together, so that specific instruction, at their specific level can be shared.
This should be at least one paragraph.
List Strategy #2 here
Timed Learning Centers
After the dogs have practiced a few commands, the Instructor should create specific learning centers were clients (owners) can move with their dog for reinforcement of commands. Clients (owners) can spend as much time at each learning center as needed to practice the previously taught command.
This should be at least one paragraph.
