Effective programs define sexual harassment and provide information on its incidence . Training programs should ensure that participants understand these definitions so that they can construct their own meanings of sexual harassment as they discuss the experiences of others. Effective programs reflect good teaching and learning practices . They offer participatory, problem-based learning experiences that are interactive and actively engage the student in learning. They present information from a positive viewpoint, encouraging healthy behavior rather than forbidding poor behavior.
Effective programs teach intervention skills .
Help learners to interpret which behaviors signify harassment. Encourage participants to share their experiences and their intolerance for certain behaviors as a means of illustrating their common ground. Encourage participants to feel responsible for dealing with the problem. Teach intervention skills and provide opportunities to practice them. Use role play scenarios to help participants find comfortable and appropriate ways to express their discomfort with another's behavior.
