Preparing a professional development workshop
A workshop is a place where the participants does the work and practice the same in the
guidance of experts (Leavy, 2016). The people can learn by trying again and again or by getting
feedback on their work. So a workshop needs to be developed once in a week for humans.
To prepare a professional development workshop, a person requires to set the objective of
developing a workshop. The name of the workshop will be the Fundamentals of Deep learning.
Here, a workshop is to be designed on the topic of deep learning which consists of the character
strength. The main objective of the workshop is to bring out the concept of deep learning based
on U theory by the experts of a different level. It will explore the character strength and core
virtues of several approaches. The workshop will define the various strategies to handle the
multiple challenges of deep learning (Litjens, et al., 2017). A group of five people were included
to take active participation in the concerned workshop. The professional development workshop
is going to be held on Wednesday and Friday of the week and it will continue for five to six
hours each day with additional workshops which are scheduled on Saturday. The workshop will
take place in a large room where there is a tall table in the center surrounded by high stools. A
whiteboard will also be there in the room so that the team can describe their concepts clearly.
The workshop will comprise of various tasks that each of the participants has to do within the
allocated time (Crosby & Bryson, 2018). The workshop will be designed to understand others
about the concept of deep learning. The participants will be instructed by the instructor on how
to do the activities of the workshop at the allocated time.
The concept of Deep learning - Day 1 of the workshop will describe the idea of deep learning.
Deep learning can be discussed in the two stages of "U" theory which are: the first one is to
challenge the habitual ways of thinking or learning and the second one is to increase awareness
of learning among the people (Güsewell, & Ruch, 2015). The “U” theory tells the people to see
the whole ways of how they interpret the situation and then they realize the transformation of
their ways.
The day two will discuss the character strength of the people who are engaged in a workshop or a
business. It will help the participants to know how their character and will to identify their
