Abstract
Empirically-informed teaching is driven by empirically-based teaching methodologies and techniques. In this article the effectiveness of the Attention, Interact, Apply, Invite (AIAI) - Fact, Think, Feel, Do (FTFD) Start-to-Finish Teaching Model is explored through data collected from 41 students at a Western university. Results suggest that the AIAI - FTFD Start-to-Finish Teaching Model can be an effective tool in improving educators' abilities to meet their own and their students 'needs through quality teaching preparation and delivery. This article expands knowledge about the Attention, Interact, Apply, Invite (AIAI) - Fact, Think, Feel, Do (FTFD) teaching model (Harris and Lee 2006). The article reviews relevant research associated with the model, introduces an expanded model, and evaluates the effectiveness of the teaching model using qualitative feedback from family life education students who have used this method to teach family life education topics in classroom and community settings. Family life education topics were the content areas of choice for this specific group of educators, but we propose that the AIAI - FTFD teaching model is relevant for any topic, discipline, or group of educators. Figure 1 shows a graphic visualization of the model.
