Reviews about Facilitating Group Learning: Strategies for Success with Adult Learners (7):
Roru
Clear reflections on the process of persons learning in groups, how group dynamics help and hinder learning, and how teachers, trainers, facilitators need listen and support all group members, who learn in different ways, and bring different contexts. Don't let it sound complicated. This is basic stuff! Just assuming learners take in what is said and presented is a mistake. They don't. Creating an environment in which learners can be themselves is the best way for them to engage the material.

Inviting reflection and growth, George Lakey has written a book that provides a clear path for how and why to empower workshop participants for anyone who designs or facilitates adult learning. This book combines a solid theoretical framework, practical tips and tools, and engaging storytelling to be a guide and support for fun and challenging work. As a mid-career professional trainer, I learned things I could implement immediately and saw ways I can continue to develop. If you are looking for ways to begin or continue your path of an empowered facilitator, Facilitating Group Learning is a great resource.

Someone who has spent his adult career designing adult learning is generously offering us all what he thinks about and how he designs for different learners and different content. I've been in awe about how much he has learned, and how clearly he sets it forth.

Well written book with pwoerful personal stories and examples. I have just put the ideas into practice with a summer school community program for a group of adults and the program worked so much better than anything I have done before!

Had heard of the book. Purchased a few for holiday gifts. I already read it and wanted to share with others.
I have been teaching for four years at community colleges and have been on the look out for pedagogical tools to help me help the students take my sociology courses into their personal narratives. Lakey's work is full of exercises and tactics that have made me more effective, improved my student evaluations, and has given me the opportunity to present to my colleagues his tools to help our students. This book has been a breath of fresh air. It has helped my students, and I enjoy teaching more than ever.
