HOW TO USE CLOUD BASED GRAB THE TORCH
Each module can stand alone if a teacher, advisor or facilitator wants to integrate a particular topic into a class or student program. Although, combining specific modules or having students take them in a particular order could benefit students’ deeper learning about the topics and help them utilize prior knowledge and self-reflection to make deeper connections to how they feel and actions they choose.
For instance, if students complete the sequence of the Introduction to Philanthropy, Purpose, Creating a Vision for Good, and Choosing a Cause modules, along with activities from the Facilitator’s Guide, they are more likely to have: (1) a clear understanding of the variety of ways in which they could use their time, talents and treasure to affect change in the world; (2) a sense of purpose; (3) a personal mission drafted to guide their decisions; and, (4) an identified change they want to affect in their community.
A FACILITATOR’S GUIDE TO HELP YOU USE CLOUD BASED GTT
A companion Facilitator’s Guide provides an array of individual and group experiential activities that can be incorporated by the teacher, advisor, or other facilitator after students complete a GTT Online module. The activities will bring the concepts of the curriculum alive as council, group or class members reflect, design, create, discuss and work to understand and incorporate what they learned from the module. A facilitator’s incorporation of these related experiential activities add context, real-world application and community connections to the online learning experience. Together, these tools are intended to build a foundation for students to make the most out of their choices in leadership, philanthropy, community engagement, and social and emotional growth.
