Hi my name is Callan Rush and I’m here with another Workshop Wealth Tip.

This tip is all about LEARNING OBJECTIVES.

And Learning Objectives are really jargon that I am offering to you. It’s taken from my 2nd university degree which was in education, I was a teacher of course.

I had a specialty in designing curriculum in such a way that it would increase the ability of the student to take the information and actually use it in a practical way in their life.

So the secret to doing that, the secret to designing curriculum in that way is to be very clear on your learning objectives.

When you’re designing your workshops, retreats or seminars… the first thing you want to do is ask yourself: what is the number one overall learning objective I want my students to achieve at my workshop?

For example, it could be that by the end of my workshop students will be able to name the 5 elements of a successful workshop business… that’s an example of an overall Learning Objective.

Once you have chosen your single most important Learning Objective, the next piece is to take a look at each segment of your curriculum and to choose 2 or 3 Learning Objectives per segment.

For example, let’s say your first segment lasts from 9 o’clock to 11 o’clock. Let’s say it’s about 3 hours… As you are designing that segment you want to be crystal clear on what the 2 or 3 objectives are.

What are the 2 or 3 things you want your students to be, do or have by the end of that segment?

When you’re crystal clear on what the Learning Objectives are, it allows you to design and deliver the curriculum that is perfectly in alignment with that intention.

The other really cool thing about setting your Learning Objectives in advance is that later on is that you can actually go back and test to see if you actually delivered whatever it is you wanted to deliver on.

So for example, let’s say my intention was that students would be able to name the 5 elements of a successful workshop business. Well, at the end I could actually go back and ask my students “what are the 5 elements?” and they are either going to be able to tell me or not tell me.

If they can’t tell me I need to go back and work on my curriculum because I didn’t teach it very well.

So that’s your Workshop Wealth Tip for this week. If you have any questions at all about designing curriculum or about Learning Objectives, how to phrase them, how to choose them… go ahead and look below the video and you’ll see there is a place for you to ask those questions and to make your comments. I’ll be sure to read them and get back to you just as soon as I can.

Until next time, be brilliant!
