  4. ResponsibilityThe student’s response to their ability • Has student data been evaluated to drive instruction? • Has the learner been equipped with effective strategies/tools/resources to foster SDL? • Do I as the facilitator know my audience?

  5. Responsibility (cont’) • Has the learning style(s) of the student been addressed? • Is the classroom climate conducive for SDL? • Do your students, “Understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?”

  7. New Generation of Learners • “It is, at least in large part, up to professors to encourage and develop this skill in their students so that they will be equipped for educational opportunities and challenges beyond their formal education” (p.100). Dynan, Cate and Rhee (2008)
