What
specifically did you like about the workshop?
No matter what a person does in life,
all can learn from this workshop. It
brings you to terms with your humanity.
The instructor was filled with energy.
He projected this energy on all of us.
With this energy, we became alive, we opened up and became more
understanding about each other. In the
beginning I thought that most of this material should have been learned by any
experienced CO over 16 years, however, I was surprised to have learned quite a
bit more than expected. I believe this
workshop has taught me a better way to deal with problems. I pledge to use all the skills that I have
learned in my everyday life. I feel as
though it will make things better. We were
allowed to express our opinions and ideas and we worked together as a
team. And I loved the diversity. We didn’t just have someone going over
information, we were allowed to participate.
The unity and the way we interacted as a group. Made me think more as I relate it to
on-going problems I deal with daily.
The way that it was organized, the material and presentation, the ways
and means of disarming a potential situation without violence. I liked the way all of us participated in a
positive manner. I also liked the way
each participant had no rank, title, etc.
The instructor, classmates, all subjects. I enjoyed the whole workshop [period]. Devotion and the sincerity of the instructor. This is a class about me as a “person”
first, not an employee. Togetherness,
respect for one another, maturity, communication and trust. 6 point problem solving. I liked the way the class was
presented. It was not boring and was
very fun. I feel I learned a lot
because of this. The instructor was
very informative. The overall thorough
coverage of topics. I didn’t feel like
we rushed through or skipped over a subject.
The way it was conducted and presented to the class. Also the exercises were appropriate for
identifying problems. The class problem
solving. The positive attitude of the
class. Interaction of the group,
sharing techniques used for remembering names and the physical games.
What
changes would you suggest for improving the workshop?
Continue mini workshops in the
future so people do not once again loose perspective with their fellow
workers. None. No changes, keep same format. I would not change anything about the
workshop, it was next to perfect. But I
would suggest that supervisors, all the way up to the Wardens be required to
attend the workshop. Also, I think that
the workshop should be continuous, maybe quarterly for about a week. Workshop was excellent, no changes. To add more days. I can suggest no changes for improving because everything was
extremely well rounded. None that I can
think of at present. This class should
be taught to all new employees. I
believe it will be more effective with performance at work. None.
If my partner and I were here at the same time. No changes, just refreshments and
follow-ups. Make it a yearly
requirement. None. Yearly inservice training on conflict
resolution. None. Bigger classroom. It would be nice if more inmates could actually take these
workshops. It may serve as a catalyst
for rehabilitation. None. Introduce some specific techniques for
dissipating anger.

comments:
It was by far the best learning
experience I have ever had. Thanks. This class was a good experience for
me. I would like to commend the
instructor for the way he presented the class.
I think he made the difference.
I was eager to come to class every day, to see what skills I would learn
today. Thanks. I would like to say that I truly enjoyed
this training session and that you were a very good instructor and I wish you
continued success in your career. The instructor was an excellent teacher -
100% attention was given from all who attended. It made us feel good to act out
problems. I feel he really loves his
work. I’ll use these skills a lot. Thanks.
I would like to thank the instructor for his being prepared to deliver
this course in such a professional manner.
A good instructor does make a difference [the instructor was
excellent] Keep up the good work. The
instructor is an excellent teacher. His
belief in what he teaches is apparent.
This class has changed me for the better. We need more instructors like this, because he shows a tremendous
consideration, respect, and he really and truly cares about everyone’s
feelings. The instructor, was
great. It was a pleasure attending this
class and the instructor made it.
I would like to get this training more often. This has been very informative and enlightening. I was able to gain more insight and expand
on subjects I had in college. This was
definitely a break from work and a stress reliever. Thank you. I like the
class, thank you. Workshop as a whole
has been fun, interesting, useful and another spiritual experience along
the way.
