Instructional Ideas

  • Submit student questions ahead of time so the speaker can address them in the presentation
  • Have class members brainstorm a list of health care professions they would like to have addressed to the class
  • Share a summary of learners' comments from the Presentation Review Assessment with the speaker
  • Assign groups different agencies to research and share with the class the services available and contact information

Classroom Considerations

  • Requires individual copies of the Presentation Review Assessment worksheet
  • Observe class members during the presentation and inform counselors if a student appears to be in need of assistance
  • Post in the classroom a list of available resources on campus and in the community
  • Teachers or counselors must create the video or invite a presenter

Pros

  • The presentation is designed to help learners refine their decision-making skills and to deepen their awareness of the dangers of risky behaviors
  • By submitting questions anonymously, individuals no not risk exposure

Cons

  • No guidelines are provided for the speaker; therefore, teachers must set the focus of the presentation
