Teaching is best when it can be described as facilitation. The role of the teacher is to provide a framework that facilitates the student's self-directed learning. Teaching personalizes knowledge and brings it to life. To be meaningful, learning experiences must relate to the learner's real world experience. Instruction must be individualized and include choices for the learner.
Teaching is a continuous learning experience.
The teacher is a partner in the learning process. Attendance and Participation Class attendance and participation are critical components of this experiential course. If you aren't present, you will not be able to make up that evening's work. It is expected that you will make every effort to attend class, arrive on time, and come prepared. Your weekly Literature Response and your reference book skeleton outlines will be the products of your participation.
