Instructional Ideas

  • Not feeling artsy? Have groups prepare skills PowerPoint presentations instead of posters
  • Start class off by asking learners what skills they think a teacher should have, then relate these to the skills described in the lesson

Classroom Considerations

  • Allow extra time if you have a large number of groups presenting, or if you plan to have each student speak during the presentations

Pros

  • The lesson stresses the importance of certain skills that are not always learned in high school or college course work
  • Collaboration helps build working relationships within the classroom that pupils tap into during future lessons

Cons

  • None
