I believe that this module reiterates how important pre-planning is and no matter how long you have been teaching, it is a vital component of the overall course success.

Becoming a great faciitator takes practice, but is a much better way to teach. Students are given minimal information to get them started on a quest to actively learn more. A facilitator is available to help make sure students remain on the right track. The students in a facilitator's classroom will be surprised at their growth.

Understanding the difference between scholar and facilitator can be a tough lesson for many scholars, someone who is more than knowledgable in their content area. Learning is so much more than just memorizing. A facilitator will give some knowlegde but encourage students to learn it and explore it on their own to make new discoveries and have their own "ah ha" moments.
