OLYMPIAD WORKSHOPS
Various workshops are scheduled to provide
coaches with event specific information. A key part of most workshops
will be hands-on involvement and the actual performing of many events.
The workshops provide a great way to share information from experienced
coaches and event supervisors. Certificates of attendance will be
provided and teachers may be eligible for Professional Development
Units.
These workshops fall into a number of different categories:
- 3-7 hour workshops held
in various place around the state. These workshops will deal with
general aspects of coaching an olympiad team and a brief discussion
of most or all events in both B and C. Division. Usually 2-4 people
will be involved in providing information about all events. Presently
there is no fee for these.
- Dodgen Middle School Student coach Workshop, November 8, 2008; at least 3 events
- Week long workshops :
intense workshops sometimes involving 2-3 hours for some events.
The National Organization runs one such workshop each year in July
in Arizona.
- Video broadcasts of training for some
events: in
the developmental stages. Stay tuned. With cooperation of Georgia
Public Broadcast, streaming videos may be produced. Access will
be restricted to GA coaches.
- Event
specific workshops: some
individuals around the state in the past have held event specific
workshops at a school. These workshops vary in length from 2 to
6 hours. Check back later for more details.
