Research shows that contextual teaching enhances student motivation and skill gains.This six hour interactive training,participants will learn how to: integrate student goals and skill mastery, recognize foundational principles for effective adult learning, identify and use various frameworks for classroom instruction, and use elements of contextual teaching and learning to plan a lesson.
