In the last ten years I have moved increasingly toward experiential teaching (using self - awareness exercises, role playing of counseling methods, live demonstrations of growth groups, and so forth), which involves the students» own feelings, responses, and needs; asking the students to draw up their own «learning contract» based on what they want to get from a given course or workshop; expecting students to participate in the teaching by sharing in some systematic way the
insights they have
discovered to be
meaningful; revealing my own struggles, uncertainties, and weaknesses; and asking the students to evaluate anonymously the course, including my teaching.
And also, through the dialogue and us asking questions about you, sometimes clients really
discover insights and really get to look at their issue in deep and
meaningful ways they never had before.
