Guidelines for teachers and other Toolbox presenters

• Review and become familiar with all of the material on the site.

                 Pay particular attention to the self-assessment forms and templates.

• Decide on how much time will be necessary to get across the material to your students and how many classes this will involve.  

                 This will depend on their level of maturity.Divide the material over classes.

• When presenting the material try to illustrate issues that arise and make them come to life from your own personal experience or your personal knowledge.
  


• Demonstrate how the forms and templates work with practical examples.

                   If you feel sufficiently confident, illustrate them using one-to-one coaching sessions.

• If the students are sufficiently mature, ask them to do one-to-one coaching sessions with each other.
  


• Encourage students to explore the supplementary material contained in the links, especially where they relate to matters that are of particular interest to them.
  


• The is a danger that students will end up with too many issues/ areas that require attention.  It is desirables that they learn to prioritise and focus on what is important
  


• Encourage the students to develop the habit of setting goals for themselves and reviewing them from time to time.
