This list will be filled in according to what is taught and how it is taught. The demonstration
of method is part of the learning during the course.
4 How you teach is just as important as what you teach.
4 Your manner and attitude are as important as any activity you may do.
In this course we will cover both method and content. Every time we use a new or different
method, this method will be explained to you.
Make notes about how this method is used as well as making notes about
the content.
Sometimes a new method will be demonstrated by using it, to teach a part of the content.
For example, if I want to show you that small groups are an effective way to learn,
then you will be asked to work in small groups. Use this course to learn the methods, as
these will make your work more effective and more enjoyable.
These methods are the methods you should then transfer to your work as a facilitator.
Some of them will not be familiar, and some, you will feel, may make you lose control of
the class. We will look at these problems during this course.
In your own notes you need to be aware that there is a duality about what and how
you are learning.
Peace Education is not easy to teach; as everything we do and say, everything we
think and feel must be seen as if through a pair of glasses, glasses that look for peace.
