COACH STYLE
Facilitators promote self-learning and help students develop critical thinking skills and retain knowledge that leads to self-actualization. This style trains students to ask questions and helps develop skills to find answers and solutions through exploration; it is ideal for teaching science and similar subjects.
ACTIVITY STYLE
The delegator style is best suited for curricula that require lab activities, such as chemistry and biology, or subjects that warrant peer feedback, like debate and creative writing. Guided discovery and inquiry-based learning place the teacher in an observer role that inspires students by working in tandem toward common goals.
