1. Introduce the SUCCESs model
2. Analyze the appeal and efficacy of this
   model for teaching development
3. Examine the model for alignment with
   current pedagogical theory

   Choose a presentation that you will/may give
    in the future
   Identify an important idea that your audience
    should remember by the end of your
    presentation
   Create a sentence that simply describes this
    concept, idea or skill in SIX WORDS OR LESS!

Active Processing – Part II

   Remember your six word concept, idea, or
    skill?
   Design an activity that purposely
    incorporates emotion or story (or both!)
   Discuss this with the person sitting next to
    you
We believe all of the components are
necessary for success.
The SUCCESs model can serves as checklist
AFTER designing a class or workshop.
The University of Minnesota Center for Teaching and
Learning has evidence that the SUCCESs model is a
useful framework for teaching development.
The Sticky Teaching workshop was the most-attended
workshop of the 2011 University-wide Teaching
Enrichment series.
