General information

All PRIME TIME initiatives are based on a common methodology featuring five elements of learning and teaching:

Participant centered instruction and learning - Facilitate reading and discussion based on participant interests and responses.

Socratic Method and Open-ended Questioning-Facilitate learning by asking, rather than telling. Ask follow-up questions to deepen the consideration and understanding of a subject or issue.

Development of Higher-order Thinking Skills-Adhere to text and guide participants to compare and contrast, analyze, describe, predict, etc.

Making Personal Connections-Guide participants to connect literature and discussion to other/personal stories, current events, film, music, poetry, artwork, or television, etc.

Collective Learning Strategies Promoting Respectful, Diverse Audiences-Permit participants to engage with and learn from one another as well as from the instructor/facilitator via group discussion.
