2.2: Materials
Fact Sheets. Facilitators are provided with fact sheets that cover a variety of health topics that are used throughout the 10-week course. The fact sheets are intended to provide additional information when presenting these topics.
- Provide your participants with the fact sheets as a take-home reference by either making copies, or referring them to the Texercise website where they may review/print at their leisure.
- Keep in mind, printing copies for participants may seem more convenient, but encouraging participants to find the information themselves on the Texercise website provides an exercise in self-efficacy! (this only applies if the participants have access to computers and printers)
Visuals/Charts. Facilitators are provided various charts and visuals to use throughout the program. Copies can be made and distributed to participants. These visuals, along with any of the charts or fact sheets, may also be made into posters to use for reference during class. Do what works for your participants with the resources you have available. As with the fact sheets, encourage your participants to visit reputable health related websites, like the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to take charge of their own learning about nutritional eating.
Always refer to the materials checklist in the Select Facilitator Manual prior to each session.
