Weekly Community Learning Team Led Discussions

Format (continued) Approach this assignment as if you've been asked to broach the subject matter with your colleagues in the workplace or at a professional conference. Your team's presentation should be about 15-20 minutes in length, during which you want to do three (3) things: lay the foundation for your topic; deepen and apply understanding as to the subject relates to philanthropy and the non-profit sector in general and with specific organizations (including those you are or have been affiliated) reflect and assess the information you are presenting.

Because all members of the class are required to read the article regardless of whether or not you are leading the discussion, the presenting team should be prepared to pose 2-3 questions that will generate discussion in which everyone can participate. Your presentations will be preceded by a lecture on a general topic and following your presentation, all students will have an opportunity to discuss how information shared in the lecture ties into information shared in your presentation.
