Activity Discussion Knowledge Check An activity usually involves class participation, whether it is a game, exercise, or worksheet completion. Typically after an activity you will have the opportunity to lead a discussion.

How to Access the WBT The CreditSmart Web-Based Training (WBT) is available free of charge in both English and Spanish and can be accessed online at Freddie Mac CreditSmart Instructor s Guide Module 10: Planning for Your Future
7 Tips for Instructors The following tips and suggestions will help to ensure the successful delivery of the CreditSmart curriculum. Workshop Preparation Tips Select handouts and exercises for each topic in advance to help enhance your presentation and discussion with participants. Determine if you will need other instructional materials such as overhead transparencies, slides, flip charts, handouts, and videos. Arrive at the workshop location early to set up. Decide how the room should be set up (e.g., classroom style, lecture). Make sure that all of the necessary equipment, such as a computer and projector is available and working. Provide a sign-in sheet and allow space (e.g., side table, counter, etc.) for handouts and resource materials. Set up refreshments, if provided. Provide adequate signs directing participants to the workshop location. Greet and welcome participants individually as they arrive. Begin the workshop promptly.

8 Tips for Instructors, Continued Adult Learning Tips Adults learn in different ways; therefore, you will want to use different techniques, vary your presentation style, and be sensitive to how your students are responding. Relate the content to what your students already know. Doing so will make your workshop more effective and will help to ensure participants retain more information. Be sensitive to those with special needs and/or learning disabilities. Use ice breakers, activities, exercises, and/or videos to break up the flow of your presentation. Supply handouts and local and/or national articles that highlight the topic being presented. Poll the audience to gauge participants level of knowledge of the topic being presented. Research available community credit counseling resources in advance to ensure that consumers have access to appropriate referrals, as necessary.
