Facilitator's Guide PDFs
A downloadable PDF Facilitator's Guide for this course provides an outline for a workshop facilitator to use the course materials in a professional development session for teachers and educators, individually, or as a group. The guide describes how to run a prescribed sequence workshop that can help teachers earn professional development points or graduate credit. Although designed to be used by a facilitator teaching such a course, many of the activities are quite suitable for use in a high school classroom setting. Independent learners may also find the guide valuable.
