  2. Different teaching method • Learner-centered education • Hands-on activities • Participants actively engaged in learning

  3. Learner-centered education (LCE) • Teaching that involves active participation of the leader and the learner • Gets all involved and centered on the learning • Sharing and comparing experiences of the learners • Creates a safe environment for learners to consider changing behaviors

  4. LCE IS • About the learner • About what the learner needs to do to remain engaged and excited • Structure within the flow of discussion and exchange of ideas

  5. LCE is NOT • About the educator • Lectures with activities added • Based on a pre-written script

  6. Laying the foundation Reinforce learning Partner interactions Open questions Learning style preferences Activate prior learning Setting the learning environment

  7. Adult learning principles • Environment • Safe • Respectful • Work in small groups • Information • Personally relevant • Immediately useful • Style • Engaging • Open-ended questions • Remember learning styles

  8. Activate prior learning and experience • Why do we activate prior learning? • Link new information to what already know

  9. Learning style preferences Visual Auditory Kinesthetic

  10. Do it all • Incorporate all learning styles into your teaching • Hear it • Write it • Do it • Say it

  11. Open questions • Allow for conversation • Let learner reflect and make personal meaning of new information • What do open-ended questions sound like?

  12. Scenario • You are presenting a lesson about sweetened beverages to a group of new mothers • Traditional closed-ended question: • Is there any problem with your child drinking soda pop when he/she asks for one?

  13. Open-ended questions • Find out if learner recognizes there is a problem • What are some of the problems in giving your child soda pop whenever he/she asks for it? • Find out if learner has any concerns about the issue • What concerns you about your child drinking sweetened drinks? • Find out learner’s level of confidence in making changes • Which ideas make you believe you could give your child water instead of soda pop?

  14. Trio talks Table chats Partnerships! Partner interactions

  15. Reinforce the learning • How can your learners review information in fun, yet meaningful ways? • How can you improve the odds that they will use the information or skill after they leave you?

  16. Learner-centered approach • Balance between meeting learner’s need while providing valuable information

  17. Who’s the expert? • Educator is the expert in information and the experiences of others • Client is the expert in his/her behavior and life

  18. Dialogue approach • The delivery of new information combined with opportunities for learners to do something with it • Open question and responses • Conversation • Learners decide the meaning of new information and importance to them

  19. What • What is to be taught? • What do participants need to know or know how to do?

  20. What • Decide what to leave in and what to leave out! • We should be teaching half as much in twice the time • Let go of content!

  21. What will the learner do with the content? • Link content to an achievement objective • Information they need • What they will do with information • How it will happen

  22. How • How will the session be designed so that the learners will achieve the objectives?

  23. Learning Tasks • Anchor • Add • Apply • Away

  24. Anchor • Ground the topic in the learners’ lives

  25. Add • Provide new information

  26. Apply • Have learners do something with the information

  27. Away • Allow learners to move the information into the future
