Description
Facilitating Group Learning Strategies for Success with Adult Learners by George Lakey is an essential resource for educators, trainers, and anyone who assists groups to learn. This book presents the core principles and proven techniques of direct education, an approach developed by the author to effectively teach adults in groups. By focusing on the encounter between teacher and group, direct education removes distractions and replaces scattered attention with gathered attention. The book emphasizes critical issues related to diversity, authenticity, and emotions, providing a comprehensive guide to designing effective learning experiences. With step-by-step guidance, Lakey shows how to facilitate these experiences and addresses key topics such as sustaining the educator and working with social movements. This book also includes the Training for Change toolkit of group learning techniques, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their facilitation skills.
