Teaching Methods Associated with Each Teaching Style Cluster
Obstacles Risks that students will Limited class time not participate, use Possible increase in preparation time higher-order thinking, Potential difficulty of or learn content using active learning in sufficiently large classes Risks that faculty Lack of needed materials, equipment, members will feel a or resources loss of control, lack necessary skills, or be All obstacles can be criticized for teaching overcome through careful, in unorthodox ways thoughtful planning 7

Learning Objectives
Ö Exercise Ö
For Each Group’s Active Learning Exercise
Class is divided into groups of 4 All groups are given an identical set of learning objectives Each group is assigned a different type of active learning technique Design one simple exercise for your group’s active learning technique that you believe will achieve the defined learning objectives Select one group member to describe your active learning exercise to the class; mention risks and benefits of your approach
“At the completion of this exercise participants should be able to – Identify and describe the three core functions of public health Identify and describe the corresponding ten essential public health services Explain why these functions and services are fundamental to the mission of public health”
