We often hear that teachers need to be facilitators of learning rather than deliverers of information. Through this workshop, Clif Mims will help you begin developing strategies for managing a classroom in which students have a leading role in learning and the teacher becomes an engaged classroom coach. Strategies for designing and practical tips for implementing units will be shared. Workshop resources available at http://bit.ly/mims201.
