FINDING THE TEACHER WITHIN PROJECT
Finding the Teacher Within is a one year project that helps WIC agencies make their education more "learner-centered" by:
  assisting them to design learner-centered classes and in-services
  training educators to understand and use learner-centered principles and practices
  helping management explore ways to support and sustain these efforts.
 Key Principles and Practices
  Honoring the learner as the decision-maker
  Ensuring that the learner has a voice before, during, and after the session
  RISE – Respect, Immediate Meaningfulness, Safety, and Engagement
  Minimizing content to allow participants to see, discuss, and practice using the most important information and skills

 Lesson Plans and Comments
  Lesson plans developed through the FTW Project are posted here. Many of the lesson plans include some of the supplemental materials, such as pamphlets or visual aids, that the designers specifically created for these classes.

In addition, the designer and a reviewer have added comments about what worked well and ways to improve the design. You’ll find these comments following the lesson plan and supplemental materials.

Note: Most of the lesson plans are zipped Word documents and need to be unzipped. See more information at the bottom of this page about downloading and unzipping these files.
