The wellness fair will provide information, screenings, and demonstrations that reflect this multidimensional model. A learner-centered classroom empowers students to take ownership for learning. Active engagement with the course content is another component of a learner-centered classroom. They are not just reading about program planning, they are actually doing it, and doing it with critical thought. There tends to be more focus to detail and quality when the students are writing for a real person or situation.
Teamwork is also a focus of the course, with the majority of assignments being team-based.
Each team serves as a wellness committee within an organization. Each team has two major tasks that contribute to the overall development and implementation of the wellness fair. They must write measurable goals and objectives for each task and be able to evaluate these outcomes. This year the seven teams are also competing against each other for real funding through grant writing. Written work is a combination of individual assignments and team assignments.
