Self-Directed Practice — Discourse Markers
September 16, 2024 — 5pm to 7pm on Zoom
Join Kaycee Watson as she models self-directed skill improvement activities that utilize Large Language Models (LLMs) like Chat GPT and Microsoft Copilot.
In this workshop you’ll learn about one or two activities you can do to improve your interpreting skills, and practice doing those activities in a group so that you can confidently continue your skill development on your own long after the workshop has ended. This workshop will include: – a specific skill to be targeted – explicit activity directions – a transition path on how to reduce use of the LLM over time and rely more directly on your own critical reasoning and interpreting skills – ideas on how to integrate these activities outside of solo-practice (such as with a colleague, during professional development work days, etc.)
