The development of excellent teaching skills is essential for physical therapists as they communicate important health related lessons and participate in health promotion interventions for the public, their patients, colleagues and peers. Thus, there are two main and connected threads to this course -- 1) Students learn to appreciate excellent teaching and to start to become excellent teachers, 2) Students learn how to use those skills to promote health and prevent disease. Methods of presentation of material in class will include lecture and discussion, and active student participation through various methods (for example, brainstorming, debate, small and large discussion groups). Written assignments and presentations will be used to integrate the two aspects of the course.
