| Planning your session
An example of the detailed planning of a 3 hours EuTEACH session is provided for module A1, which contains both the detailed planning of the session as well as the corresponding slides, which are available either as powerpoint presentation or as a pdf file. Please feel free to use this example, either as a A1 session, or as an example for the organisation of any other course based on a EuTEACH module.
The experience gained by the working group suggests that a few basic ingredients are the key to the success of any EuTEACH course.
- 50% of interaction such as role play, video, interviews of young people, group discussion
- a clear presentation of training objectives at the beginning of each session
- an evaluation of the course by the trainees
- a bottom up participative teaching style (using the participant's resources and building on their experience)
- a ratio trainers/trainees of at least 1:10
- a minimum of three hours for each module
This part of the curriculum provides some basic knowledge and recommendation in teaching methodology and how to use the EuTEACH curriculum. Those professionals who use the curriculum for the first time are strongly encouraged to go through the teaching methodologies guide before using any module.
Those not familiar with adolescent medicine can also refer to a short description of key concepts used throughout the curriculum (key concepts)
The documents should be considered as a series of quick ‘tips’ to help you improve your teaching techniques. It is not designed as an exhaustive textbook as these will be found under ‘further reading’ at the end.
