Teacher Centers and Secondary School Teachers.
Secondary school teachers can benefit from teacher centers that use an experiential approach. Experiential learning involves the immersion of the teacher in experiences that necessitate the use of new skills. A new approach to a problem leads teachers to examine both old and new skills and their professional attitudes, practices, and beliefs. This personal and professional reappraisal leads to improvement in teaching methods and curriculum. The activities outlined in this booklet are examples of thought-provoking, stimulating, and challenging experiential learning activities that teacher centers can use. (CJ)
