Whitwell Middle School principal Linda Hooper asked language arts teacher Sandra Roberts and associate principal David Smith to begin a Holocaust education class that would be the basis for teaching tolerance and diversity in a voluntary after-school program. In 1998, something amazing happened in the town of Whitwell, a small rural community of fewer than 2,000 people nestled in the mountains of Tennessee. There will be 50-55 bank managers (of age 30-35 years) in my next Paper Clip session on 26 July.The silent protest that became a rally cry I need to collect structured feedback from participants, so that we can extract insights from such feedback. Use some games in the class like Paper Clip.
Engaging sessions- by making by making sessions interesting.Ĥ. New methods so as to help in engaging the students.ģ. To use new teaching methods by including small games.Ģ. Here are some of their brief action plans that were made at the end of the FDP:ġ. I had also suggested to them that they should not, as facilitators, judge or evaluate the responses. I used it to demonstrate the idea that problem-based activities would engage their students more than their lectures. Their solutions were wild, funny, and out of this world! Even the quietest members opened out, and were vociferous in their participation. The FDP had 20 teachers (post-graduate management schools) in six teams of 3-4 members. I used it in a day-long Faculty Development Program (FDP) on 23 June 2017 near New Delhi, India, with amazing results. I would like to thank you for the Paper Clip method. How success is evaluated: by showing on the whiteboard that the group has a larger number of the number of possible uses of a paperclip than any one person can think of.įollow-Up Required: Follow with a brainstorm on a topic that is real for the group to build on the learning. This is a good bridge: you can say that we should not start a brainstorm with pre-discrimination or clustering but that the clustering will be done following the brainstorm.Īfter that and with this exercise in mind, participants will be better able to do a brainstorm about any issue you need a brainstorm for, because it is proven that brainstorming can work. People will say that use 1 looks a lot like use 20, for example. Note to the group that there are many more items on the whiteboard than the person with the longest individual list had.Īfter that you will always get remarks about the issues. When all possible uses are mentioned the facilitator counts all the items which are written down on the whiteboard. The facilitator writes down every possible use mentioned, without discussion.
Beware, everybody has to mention one item at the time, Ask the rest of the group to delete the item ( if they have the same ) on their paper. Write down the number of possible uses the person with the longest list has mentioned.Īfter that ask the first person of the group to mention their first use. Start by showing the group a large paperclip.Īsk the persons to write down within 5 minutes ( or 3 or 2) as many uses as possible for a paperclip.Īfter the two minutes ask the group which person has the most uses on their paper. Types of participants: helpful for all levels and types
