The tone of the interactions is open, direct, expressive, honest, real, and constructive. It identifies policy, actions, activities, and norms determine by the  Prof. Carlos M. Rodriguez Ph.D. 2 educational environment, as well as, faculty beliefs, values, and attitudes that define their selves.

Workshop mechanics:

This workshop is self-generating. Each activity builds on the next to allow for selfreflection, questioning of assumptions, break-down of mental conceptions, and visualization of potential growth paths, expected outcomes, emotional immersion, and challenges in behavior change. The workshop pedagogy emphasizes re-creation, questioning, confrontation, reverse-validation, and identity building in groups dynamics.
