That's an excellent reply. I know just what you mean, too. Actually, I do workshops on assessment from time to time. I don't have any right now at conferences that are scheduled. However, my PHX 5-day workshops always have a healthy amount of assessment throughout. It is in fact, the point of the workhops: designing interventions from the assessment. Although, the interventions in the 5-day are heavily weighted toward those that can be delivered within metaphors or various types. The workshops beginning next spring are being re-worded and the organization will be modified. I'm planning on making one of them a weekend workshop on assessment and induction. I don't know if people will come in from out of state for a 2-day workshop...but I'll guess I'll find out.
