I had a teacher in HS that spent time every day and ocasionally spent a whole hour (if we were ahead of the schedule) teaching practical stuff.

The two most useful things he taught and we role-played was conflict resolution and creative problem solving. Also a bit of light negotiation skills.

He did it in such a way that this stuff wasn't over anybody's head and I believe everyone in the course took away more than just science from the experience.
