Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Anyone teaching a multi-session class faces two problems: physical attrition and intellectual attrition. Designing a class that weaves an intellectual story that keeps students interested, challenged, and interested in being challenged is a complicated game best played with a strategy book. In the first lesson in this two class course we will discuss how people learn and the advantages of using concept mapping to design syllabi and in the second class we will discuss techniques for weaving together pre- and post- evaluation with activities, discussion and lecturing. Special focus will be made to teaching informal classes and classes not being taught to meet standards. Participant's will be prepared to teach ESP's HSSP from this class.
