4.4.2 PROCESS OF FACILITATION
As a facilitator, you have the responsibility to provide required material and
space to children when and where they need. In order to conduct the activity
efficiently you are expected to know the process of facilitation.
Example -
A teacher should keep in mind:
•
Have a “ JAADU KA PITARA” like box in classroom. Stock it with a
variety of tools and materials: crayons, markers, pastels, watercolor, glue,
paper and pencil.
•
Sing together. Allow children to sing their favorite song after that let them
explore.
•
Encourage them to enjoy art programs after school, on weekends or during
vacations many community parks and recreational centers offer these.
