Who Will You Teach?

Ask Yourself: Whose problem is the skill that I¡¯m teaching solving?
Who¡¯s my obvious - and not so obvious - audience?
Pre-Class Prep

Ask Yourself:
? Are there prerequisites for my students (i.e., are there certain things
  they should know or have done before)?

? What resources (i.e., videos, articles) will I share with my students
  to prepare them for class and/or what activity can my students do to
  come ready to dive in during class (i.e., compile work they¡¯ve done
  before, put together an outline / initial plan)?
In-Class Interaction

Ask Yourself:
? What will your class structure / type be (i.e., field course, hands-on
  project workshop, case study review, discussion group, etc.)?

? What activity or experiment can you give your students to work on
  to ensure they learn by doing and collaborating? Tip: make it
  challenging, not frustrating!
Post-Class Engagement

Ask Yourself:
? What will your students¡¯ homework be? In other words, how will
  they apply what they¡¯ve learned in class?

? How will you learn from this experience, too (i.e., solicit students¡¯
  feedback, apply constructive criticism)?
Be Brave!
Show us what you got...
Thank you.
