Please type or paste your submission abstract. The abstracts for 2-day workshops are very important for advertising. Please feel free to write 3+ paragraphs for your workshops abstract.

Please list 10 Educational Objectives for your 2-day workshop.

What are educational objectives?

Educational objectives, or educational outcomes, are statements that clearly describe what the learner will know or be able to do as a result of having attended an educational program or activity. Educational objectives must be observable and measurable. Educational objectives should (1) focus on the learner, and (2) contain action verbs that describe measurable behaviors. Verbs to consider when writing educational objectives:

  • list, describe, recite, write
  • compute, discuss, explain, predict
  • apply, demonstrate, prepare, use
  • analyze, design, select, utilize
  • compile, create, plan, revise
  • assess, compare, rate, critique

Examples of good Educational Objectives:

Implement traditional exposure-based interventions as adapted for an acceptance-based model.; Describe the role and significance of avoidance in the development and maintenance of psychopathology.; Conduct a full-scale values assessment with clients.

Examples of poor Educational Objectives:

Hear the latest research about ACT. (not learner-focused; not about measurable behaviors) ; See a role-play. (not learner-focused; not about measurable behaviors)

(If you prefer to bring a MAC and work from that, please bring all appropriate adapters, electrical outlet and projector adapters, and back up your presentation on a memory stick in case of compatibility issues.)
