If you need to know "what comes after the teambuilding activity?" this book is for you! Jim Cain, Michelle Cummings and Jennifer Stanchfield have collectively been active in adventure-based and active learning programs for almost a century. From their extensive facilitation background, here are the best of their techniques, methods and activities for engaging participants in active and meaningful processing, debriefing and program reviewing sessions.
Processing helps learners make connections between their educational experiences and real life and future learning. It helps learners realize that they can apply the lessons they learn and skills they use in a "contrived environment" such as a classroom or challenge course to real life issues such as resolving a conflict with friends, co-workers or significant others. Processing helps create purpose, meaning and focus of an activity it helps learners take advantage of teachable moments.
A Teachable Moment is packed with over 120 activities to help you, the facilitator, help your participants transfer their learning back to everyday life. A Teachable Moment is perfect for new, as well as seasoned, facilitators.

The first edition of Tips &amp; Tools, published almost a decade ago, was embraced enthusiastically by seasoned experiential educators and training professionals seeking inspiration, new perspectives, and an insightful overview of experiential learning. We have received a great deal of positive and constructive feedback from readers who have made this book their go-to resource, sharing Tips &amp; Tools with students, clients, and colleagues to enhance the art of group facilitation and teaching. The second edition of Tips &amp; Tools eclipses the first with insights gained from this feedback, another decade of experience in group facilitation, and new information coming from the emerging field of educational neuroscience. As a result the ideas and methods focused on active engagement, ownership in learning, and facilitating meaningful reflection have been greatly expanded. The layout of information is more effective experiential theory and perspectives, hands-on activities, and teachable moments flow from one chapter to the next making this edition an essential resource for practicing and teaching the art of experiential group facilitation.
