TEACHABLE MOMENTS
In this interactive session, Mark will deliver a series of activities that will examine “teachable moments,” those moments in a program that are often overlooked because they are considered “too hard” or are simply not observed.
The key to this session will be a discussion about how to spot these “teachable moments,” and then what to do with them.
Mark will present a mix of interactive and fun activities into the session that will add to your repertoire, as much as provide fodder for discussion.
Mark will demonstrate
- Presentation of ice-breakers, co-operative games and group problem-solving activities;
- Discussion of the nature of “teachable moments;” and
- Explore a simple, successful three-step process to facilitate “teachable moments.”
