Learning Language and Loving It™ Certification Workshop
The Pre-workshop Assignment for the Learning Language and Loving It™ Certification Workshop consists of two sections.
Section #1 (Approximately 1 hour to complete)
Through completing this interactive online module, participants will learn about:
- the theoretical framework that underlies what and how participants learn in all Hanen Programs
- how this framework relates to designing an effective learning environment for parents or educators based on principles of adult learning
- how Kolb’s (1984) four learning styles affect the learning of Hanen Program participants
- how an individual learner’s knowledge, experiences, values and beliefs affect the learner’s approach to the learning experience
- how the Hanen teaching methodology, titled the "4P Teaching-Learning Cycle,” facilitates learning and behavior change by addressing individual learning styles and characteristics
Section #2 (Takes approximately 21/2 - 3 hours, and may be completed over several sittings)
Through completing 7 modules, participants will learn about specific content drawn from the Learning Language and Loving It Program.
Module 1 consists of two brief introductory videos.
Modules 2-7 include:
- on-screen readings.
- video examples featuring educators applying Learning Language and Loving It strategies.
- questions for you to consider about the videos.
- click-and-reveal sections that allow you to compare your answers to what is discussed in Learning Language and Loving It.
