ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we will examine the role of the facilitative teacher: how to get out of the way of learning while helping the learner get the most out of the classroom experience. Often, in academia when we talk about teaching, we focus almost exclusively on the professors, their expertise and their ability to convey their ideas. We can easily overlook what it means to be a learner. This chapter readdresses that balance by focusing on the simple practices, or craft, that all effective professors employ to get out of the way of learning–facilitation rather than pontification.
