Sometime ago, I would have tilted towards knowledge instead. But I think I've gotten tired of watching knowledge put to so little use that it fails to change outcomes. So maybe a good compromise is to focus on teaching skills, but with enough knowledge as background that the students can universalize their skills and apply them to new situations? Excellent post, by the way. I’m inclined towards the need to teach skills. Sometime ago, I would have tilted towards knowledge instead.

Often active teaching strategies encourage people to really dig in and do what's being learned. That's great when you're learning about math by using a subway system as a number line, but how appropriate is it in a college sex ed class?

Sex Signals is an improv, humerous approach to teaching about date rape and sexual harrassment on the job. It seems to be effective. Could some approach like this be used appropriately in a class setting as well as a one time presentation? I don't know, but if anyone could do it, I bet you could. Good luck in your revision work.
