4.  Teacher as Facilitator

Teachers play a
new role as guide
or facilitator
 Teacher as Guide
Rather than teach content, you will manage team member
interactions so that teams stay focused and make progress. With
your careful encouragement, each team's problem, plan of action,
and outcome will emerge on its own, the unique product of its
members' collective strengths and interests. In your role of
facilitator, you will begin by briefing students on their projects they
will be doing. When team work begins, you will spend most of your
time observing team members to determine what problems they are
having working together and completing their assignments.
5.  Meaningful products come out of   inquiry-based learning
Learning in the Classroom

• Movement
 SUMMARY
• "Inquiry" is defined as "a seeking for truth, information, or knowledge -- seeking
information by questioning."
• The inquiry approach is more focused on using and learning content as a means to
develop information-processing and problem-solving skills .
• Inquiry classrooms are open systems where students are encouraged to search and
make use of resources beyond the classroom and the school.
• An inquiry classroom is quite different from a traditional classroom. These
differences become increasingly obvious as the teacher and students become more
comfortable and experienced with inquiry learning.
