Helping Students Own and Control
Their Learning Experience

The latest update of Inside the School contains an article by Jennifer Stanchfield titled, “Giving Learners Control and Responsibility for Learning.” It is an excerpt from her book, Tips & Tools: the Art of Experiential Group Facilitation.

Although directed more toward the pre-college student, it contains many suggestions adaptable by Community Learning instructors. Some of the suggestions include:

  • Icebreakers that establish commonalities.

  • Situations that allow quieter students to participate.

  • Helping students gain greater control of their learning.
