SHMs for workshops

I have heard several teachers talk about doing 4-6 week workshops (or whatever time frame fits). I would love to do something like that for folks in my church. A small workshop is not too much to commit to, yet they can gain so much and it could lead some of them to sign up for lessons afterward. Is there any online material for workshop students to use? I understand we teachers cannot buy physical materials from the SM store anymore, so i just wonder how to provide materials for workshop attendees. Or do they have to purchase Foundation 1 as if they were regular students?

I recorded an audio training about leading these workshops. It’s in Module 9 of the Teacher Training. It will give you an array of suggestions about different ways to configure and present the workshop content.

Workshop SHMs are $9.50 for digital and $12 for digital/physical. All SHM costs are listed in the Enrolling and Managing Students document – also in Module 9 (and in the Transition Training).

I just finished my first 6-week workshop with four ladies, three of whom have chosen to continue. Six weeks seems to be about right for most busy people. With four weeks, you would be rushing through the songs. I used the first session for a FIS with “Ode to Joy” demo and the Basics. Then four sessions to learn the four songs, and a wrap-up session. Ode to Joy demo was a big mistake, because it’s one of the four songs. Then they wanted to finish learning it, so I taught the songs out of order which they found confusing. Next time I will break the info session up into smaller segments and incorporate them over the five weeks.
