A. Teaching Methods
What are we asking of learners?
This diagram below illustrates a helpful framework for deciding what you want participants to be
able to do after a session or workshop.
In some cases, the teacher/facilitator may hope that students will be able to learn new key
vocabulary (remember), while in other cases, the teacher/facilitator will hope that students may be
able to generate a new work (e.g. be able to write a proposal for a soil health grant). The key is to
think critically about what is realistic given the time, audience, and other context.
