My Teaching Methodology and Practice I believe the point of teaching is the learning process. My teaching method uses a combination of several elements, with attention to the age group of the class, in order to make the learning process as strong as possible. I include a PowerPoint presentation, a text (that I summarize - usually the 3 main points), personal stories to make either a good point or to make the wrong choice clear, occasionally I used a brief video clip to introduce the topic, use a Socratic question teaching approach, summarize/quiz about the main points of the class content 2-3 times during a class, randomly call on students to answer a question (rather than just have kids raise hands to keep everyone engaged), and include a student presentation project with a written component - that coincides with the topic theory (for the multi-day sessions). I always speak to class lecture items that should go down in notes I ask all students to take during class and typically hand out a note-taking sheet. Specific details of the class sessions are outlined below. Week of November 22, Topic/Theme #1: 4 Key Lessons about Friendship. Why Some People Never Lack Friends. The Art of Self-Disclosure. How to Communicate Warmth. Love is Something You Do. Week of November 29, Topic/Theme #2: Bravery about Friendship. I'll address myths and misunderstandings about healthy vs unhealthy vulnerability. Week of December 3, Topic/Theme #3: The Power of Empathy in Friendship. The "NEED to be RIGHT" problem. Being objective when disagreements occur. Boundaries for fighting fair. The "blame and defend" character flaw is a friendship killer. Week of December 10, Topic/Theme #4: Safe vs Unsafe people. Not all people are good or good for us. How to recognize unsafe people. Taking an inventory of our relationships. Are we attracting the wrong types of friends?

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
California Certificado de Docencia
Maestría desde Biola University, Talbot School of Theology
I’ve worked professionally and as a volunteer pastoral counselor for almost 40 years. This has been formal as well as informal in the nonprofit sector and includes many years specifically working with students from 10-25 years old. I’ve helped unwind many troubling situations youth face today as well as seeing many flourish with some helpful instruction.
This class comes from my concern about seeing what has developed in our culture for young people today. It’s far harder, more complicated, and includes statistics that are sad with alarming suicide rates. One of the problems I see is that help is provided several years beyond when kids need help. The resources are not nearly available enough for most teens today. I’ve picked significant books on essential aspects that I’ll simplify and summarize in our classes and make them beneficial and relevant for our discussions.
