Tobias discusses an upper-division Family Life Education Methodology course at the Stark Campus of Kent State University. The goals of the course include introducing and internalizing Family Life Education (FLE) as a professional identity, exploring how FLE can benefit communities through preventative programming, and allowing students to learn firsthand the process for establishing preventative programming for a community partner through the use of a modified service-learning project. Discussion focuses on course design including team creation, topic/need identification and student project/programming creation as well as high-impact elements embedded throughout the course.
