We have been doing workshops with various groups of kids all week. They get teaching on various topics, and we do the bit on drugs and alcohol.
The teaching method here is largely chalk and talk. The facilitators do a stand up performance. Not really our style at all. We’ve been doing more discussion and group activity. This has generally worked quite well, but sometimes I think they don’t know how to respond to being expected to have their own point of view. Even really open questions, like “why do you think people take drugs?” they seem to have set answers for.
Today, I felt we got a really good balance between chalk and talk and participation.
About Me
- Cathy
- I'm a Christian, 39, been married for 12 years to the only person I ever dated with whom I'm still very much in love. We live in a simple Victorian terrace 2 doors from a canal (hence the feeding of ducks), share a garden with the neighbour, and have lots of people round for meals and chilling out. I've been a speech therapist for 17 years and a life / business coach for less time. Have recently started my own business doing coaching and training and am really enjoying working for myself. I also lead a lovely little church, called Church Without Walls and a ministry to clubbers called Nightchurch.
