Our Facilitators
Guiding Learners on a Journey of Discovery and Growth
At UnSchool, the role of a facilitator is a unique and essential one. Unlike traditional teachers who dictate the direction of learning, our facilitators act as enablers, guiding learners on their individual journeys of discovery, growth, and creativity. They are the compasses that help students navigate their learning paths, and the catalysts that spark curiosity and innovation.
What Facilitators at UnSchool Do?
Empowering Learners
Our facilitators empower students to take charge of their learning, encouraging them to ask questions, explore interests, and dive deep into subjects they’re passionate about.
Guiding Exploration
Inspired by the Socratic method, our facilitators guide students through thought-provoking questions and discussions, fostering critical thinking and intellectual growth.
Fostering Collaboration
Drawing on the Harkness method, our facilitators create an environment where students collaborate, share ideas, and learn from each other in a respectful and inclusive setting.
Connecting Real-World Contexts
Facilitators at UnSchool connect classroom learning to real-world scenarios, making concepts come alive and helping students see the relevance and application of what they’re learning.
Nurturing Meta-Skills
Our facilitators focus on developing essential meta-skills like creativity, problem-solving, and communication, equipping students with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
What is the Role of the Facilitator?
