Effective instruction is not just lecturing or going through a series of overheads. The learner-centered approach to instruction is the most valid concept for instruction. This workshop enables the participants to practice the best instructional methods and techniques for effective classroom instruction.

The participants will acquire skills that normally take 3-5 years in only 4 days. They will be able to facilitate learning among those they teach, in a quicker, more effective way.

This is a “hands-on” course. Each skill is taught and followed by participants’ practice and critique. Participants should expect to spend a part of their evenings preparing for the next day’s class.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will gain the ability to be able to:

• Turn dull sessions into more lively, interesting ones
• Cause learning through involvement rather than merely “talking at people”
• Use questions to spark interest, keep attention and double-check understanding; instructors who use the concepts from this course will know how they are teaching while they are teaching, not after the tests or quizzes have been given
• Use visuals to keep people alert and focused rather than put them to sleep
• Teach from student experience as well as from their fund of knowledge
• Guarantee learning has taken place rather than merely hope that it has
