This is quite US centric and based more on schools than HE but still has some interesting ideas. However, the teacher as enabler not at the centre is nothing new. As I’ve said many times before, it’s just the method used in TEFL. Perhaps everyone should spend some time in ELTS?
Promoting Excellence in Learning and Teaching
I'd like to state that no lobsters were harmed in the making of this movie but suspect that I can't 😉
I like some of the ideas … although I can't quite see teacher as facilitator working when the outcome of the teaching class has to be some credit points and a grade. At some point, the facilitator has to become the assessor!
