Learner
I never thought of myself as a facilitator, but I did know and I tried to tell my studnets that as many times that I teach a class that I can always learn from them as well as they learn from me. Sometimes the students just won't believe that as an instructor we can learn from them, that we are suppose to experts at the subjects that we teach.
Michael,
this is a great statement to learn & we can demonstrate the value of life-long learning to our students.

One of the first things I tell my students is, I am always learning. And for them to have an open mind to what they can learn. Every day should be a learning expreince for us all.
Letting the student be your guide to your teaching method.
Verna,
yes & part of that role of learning from the students is helping to facilitate their discussions & their learning of the topics.
