Teaching Methods and Styles For Managing Learning in the Prevention Classroom

Teachers have preferred teaching styles and adolescent learners have preferences in how they learn. When the gap between teaching and learning styles opens up, both the teacher and student can suffer. Students may respond with boredom, inattention, lack of participation and under achievement. Teachers may feel frustrated and unskilled. In this workshop participants will engage in exercises to assess their teaching styles, explore varieties of learning styles and instructional methods that are effective with adolescent learners, and identify a personal teaching skill that they would like to develop in order to bridge the gap.

 

As a result of this workshop, participants will have engaged in exercises to:

*          Assess their individual teaching styles and preferences

*          Construct engaging approaches to learning assessment.

*          Identify the teaching styles that support learning objectives

*          Examine the learning styles and preferences of adolescent learners

*          Explore instructional methods that are effective with adolescent learners

*          Examine four teaching skills necessary to create opportunities for advancing cognitive/behavioral social/emotional learning in youth

*     Set a personal developmental goal to improve their ability to facilitate discussions with youth,   coach the acquisition of health skills and behaviors and provide feedback

*          Identify a personal, instructional approach that they would like to change in order to better align their teaching style with students’ learning styles.
