I like the program's accessibility − it′s
spread out, stimulates and provokes thought without lecturing.
Fluent and logical − key points are reinforced. |

Where can ListenUP
be used?
ListenUP
can be used as part of their Personal
Development, Character Development, Health, Life Skills, or
Personal
Care lessons at your school.
In Secondary Schools -
Advisory/Homeroom/Form/Tute periods are also ideal classes to use ListenUP in because of the lower
student to teacher ratios which helps teaching staff and students
get to know each other on a more personal level.
ListenUP can also be integrated into the general
curriculum through subjects areas like English, Health, Society and
the Environment, Physical Education, Science, Math, and Creative
Arts/Drama.
Even though ListenUP has be primarily developed for use in a
classroom setting, it has also been successfully implemented by
youth group leaders, in student council/government situations, in
leadership courses, and on a one-to-one basis with individual ‘at
risk’ students.

extensive. Having the extended content section allows deeper
and constructive discussions. |

Do I have to use ListenUP in a particular way?
ListenUP has been developed so it can be presented as individual
lessons over several weeks or over one or two days
in an intensive format.
It can be used as a stand alone program or as a tool for expanding
on
existing lessons.

It's right on the money
for our students. Each section is designed in such a way that
you can make use of them on a needs basis. If team work is an
issue, you can just pull out that section and deal with it... |

ListenUP with? There are
2 different editions of ListenUP - Primary
