A Good Facilitator:
- Provides Meaningful Tasks or Projects
- Guides to Resources
- Questions
The first key to being a successful facilitator of student learning is providing students with meaningful tasks and/or projects. You must create a flexible learning environment which allows for students to readily access the information and materials that they need. A good facilitator is a good QUESTIONER: comprehension, application, connection, synthesis and meta-cognition based questioning leads to a full understanding of student learning. You must then do something with the information that you have gathered. GUIDE students toward resources and decisions, don't GIVE them what they need.
