A New Problem Solving Techinque

The instructors at Caledonian mean business. They focus on your employees' specific needs. They don't waste their time and yours learning things that don't apply to their jobs. Each employee learns a very special vocabulary in order to follow orders and converse with his foreign employer.

They employ the very latest methodology termed "re-engineering". This is a problem- solving method that involves the trainees in making their own decisions. The training professionals are group facilitators who help the trainees to solve their workplace performance problems for themselves.

Innovative Learning

We at Caledonian have a new approach to learning. Our instructors are the facilitators. They coordinate the instruction instead of dictating it.

The Learner-Centered Class.

Teachers at Caledonian are different. They are of the opinion that learning is a change that takes place inside the learner. The instructor can stimulate but cannot directly create change. He can best influence this change by providing a suitable learning atmosphere in which the learner is in command.

The classroom is a stage, and the students are the actors. The teacher is the coordinator who remains in the background providing direction and encouragement.

Sheridan Peterson, the school's Director of Language Studies, refers to his teachers as facilitators. He shows them how to make their classrooms more learner centered and less teacher dominated.
