The Learning Curve

More and more I seem to grasp the idea of being a facilitator. It is still hard for me to determine though where the line is drawn between giving an idea and helping the student come up with their own. The mock tutoring sessions we engage in allow me to approach certain situations with a variety of manners to see which one precvails as successful in the end. Perhaps the most valuable piece of information today was the writing exercise. Not only does it allow the tutor to engage the student in an active, imaginative exercise, but it fosters the student's growth as a "creator."
