Using this text will improve your delegate preparation and introduce them \n to the form and function of the United Nations as an institution. Instructors who used the first \n edition found it provides a useful structure and sequence to introduce students to concepts and \n required skills. As a Model UN advisor myself, I wrote the book to meet that purpose in my own \n course. This guide will assist you in integrating the book into your own training system if you \n are a long-time advisor and suggest a useful sequence and share strategies that have worked \n for others if you are a new advisor. In response to the COVID crisis of 2020, many schools are \n moving most if not all instruction online, so this version of the instructor’s guide includes online \n exercises. It also presents the learning objectives and exercises in a more rigorous form that \n enables alignment between the activities an instructor uses and the learning objectives \n assessed by that activity.","bbox":{"left":0.101348,"top":0.176641,"width":0.823122,"height":0.21280100000000002}},{"text":"The guide provides three elements to accompany each chapter of the book. The first is an \n outline of the chapter and a list of learning objectives. The second element is a test bank, which \n includes a few multiple-choice questions covering the content of the chapter and a few short \n answer or essay questions which can be used to assess learning or be given to students for \n study guide questions. The final element is a list of suggested activities to teach or review the \n content. This section will also include the material in Appendix A of the book on using the \n chapter exercises. While you already have this with your desk copy, it is included so you will \n have an electronic copy for your use.","bbox":{"left":0.101348,"top":0.403346,"width":0.827466,"height":0.142687}},{"text":"Being an advisor is hard work. Using this guide along with the Engaging the United Nations \n textbook will make the training aspect of your program more effective so you can focus on the \n personal growth of your students. Watching my students grow through their participation in \n Model United Nations has been the most rewarding part of my professional career. It is my \n hope that you can share that experience.","bbox":{"left":0.101348,"top":0.56029,"width":0.810728,"height":0.0902630000000001}},{"text":"Brian Dille Summer 2020","bbox":{"left":0.101348,"top":0.664798,"width":0.218509,"height":0.020818000000000003}},{"text":"1","bbox":{"left":0.919886,"top":0.937058,"width":0.009993999999999947,"height":0.01908299999999996}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
