Introduction
Health Literacy Study Circle+ Facilitators Training
Questions about health literacy, health literacy research, and health literacy skills are particularly relevant as programs and teachers struggle with choosing the most effective ways to develop adults' skills. In this Health Literacy Study Circle+ Facilitators Training, participants will understand NCSALL's efforts to connect research and practice and how study circles+ support these efforts. Practitioners will meet together to:
- Build their understanding of health literacy, health literacy research, and health literacy skills
- Consider their roles as facilitators—managing the study circle+ process and supporting teachers in their learning and lesson planning
- Examine NCSALL's Health Literacy Study Circle+ Facilitator's Guide: Skills for Health Care Access and Navigation (or a Health Literacy Study Circle+ Facilitator's Guide on another topic)
- Participate in and talk about typical Health Literacy Study Circle+ activities— introductions, discussion of own experiences, jigsaw, brainstorming, force-field analysis, dance and balcony, planning for next steps, and evaluation
- Consider how to support teachers' learning and planning by modeling participatory adult education principles and looking at a way to give and receive feedback
- Review the next steps and logistics for facilitating a study circle in their programs, regions, and/or states
The Health Literacy Study Circle+ Facilitators Training is organized into one, six-hour training.
