¶ … instructional program is to educate health instructors so they can go out into their respective communities and provide critical health information to at-risk populations. It is thus absolutely essential that these teachers have accurate information yet are able to disseminate it in an accessible fashion. They must understand the material but also be able to use effective teaching strategies. With this in mind, the initial pedagogical techniques will be lecture-based, to get the necessary information across. However, to maintain a high level of student engagement early on in the process, there will be frequent class discussions about the material, as well as reinforcing tests and quizzes to ensure students are retaining what they have learned.
Once students have a base of knowledge, the teacher can assign practical exercises so the students can use what they have learned -- for example, simulating being teachers themselves and demonstrating how they would present the information to different audiences. Or they might be asked to perform useful exercises that would reinforce the health concepts they were learning, such as designing a meal plan for someone who is diabetic on a budget. Practical exercises prepare students for the rigors of work 'in the field.' Team-based exercises can also be useful including role-plays...
It is essential that some sort of hands-on, practical learning is incorporated into the educational strategy, given that these students are supposed to be 'practical' health educators, not merely disseminators of theoretical knowledge.
Technology can be an extremely useful asset for students and teachers alike, particularly given the limited time frame of the educational sessions. Email can keep students informed about class developments and the teacher can share various articles or points of interest even when class is not meeting. Or teachers can use technology in instructional materials, such as the following.

In class, the student will be paired up. Each student will be asked to take on the persona of the abused woman; the other student, the police officer who has been called to her house due to a reported disturbance there by a neighbor.

This engagement is reported to be highly valuable to most students as they connect with one another on relevant classroom topics as applied to life contexts. E-learning in the graduate teaching setting has changed the paradigm of student teaching as well.

Several community colleges have in recent times shown preference for non-credit post-secondary students as opposed to credit students. This trait is particularly common in the areas of staff tutoring and contractor training.

Important questions have been raised about traditional colleges due to

Society demands that

In response to this awareness, reform efforts have been implemented in order to meet the needs of students. As reform efforts have been considered, increasing attention has been directed toward assessing the influence of learning styles on academic performance. The term 'learning styles' has been used to refer to the ways in which individuals
76). As automation increasingly assumes the more mundane and routine aspects of work of all types, Drucker was visionary in his assessment of how decisions would be made in the years to come. "In the future," said Drucker, "it was possible that all employment would be managerial in nature, and we would then have progressed from a society of labor to a society of management" (Witzel, p. 76).
