Youth / Student Development: TeamBuilding Methodology:
We will lead student development programs for the students
Using Experiential Learning Cycle, Team Development, Creative Problem Solving, Conflict Resolution and various other models. The students will be engaged in a fully learner centered program. All programs will be interactive and the students will be moving and engaged the majority of the time.
Additionally we will work with the students to establish behavior guidelines within the programs, and facilitate the students to transfer skills gained into the classroom and home lives.
We will develop, administer and report student self evaluations. We will report the data to administrative staff periodically at a time TBD.
Following the initial student development programs will go to a Ropes Course facility, to utilize their high and low challenge elements.
Create-Learning-Team Building will lead workshops in the classroom prior to the ropes course, and following the ropes course. These workshops will last approximately one class period in each of the classes.
The in class workshops will be facilitated to allow the students and faculty to gain the greatest transference of learning possible from the ropes course experience.
Additionally Create-Learning facilitators will be on-site at the ropes course contracting, facilitating, and coordinating the initiatives for the students.
