By Steve Haines — Author, Educator & International Teacher T

About this book

 Steve Haines draws on 30+ years of experience and workshops across 80+ cities in China — training more than 5,000 teachers — to reveal the proven methodology behind truly engaging learning environments. 

The group growth process

 Any group will move when they spend time together on a shared purpose. This book teaches you how to intentionally guide that movement — creating connection, engagement and real learning. 

Who this book is for

 Teachers, school leaders, corporate trainers, and anyone who leads groups — whether in a classroom in China, Uganda, Vietnam, a boardroom in America, or a training room or classroom anywhere in the world. 

What You Will Learn

How to lead any group from passive listeners to actively engaged participants

 Move beyond lecturing. Learn the specific techniques that transform a passive classroom into an energized, participating group. It all begins with the teacher embracing the role of CEO-Chief Empowerment Officer).  With clear destination in mind, the facilitator strategically steers the direction of the group. Growth begins. 

The stages of the Group Growth Process and how to navigate them

 Every group moves through predictable stages. Once you discover the Group Growth Process, you can intentionally guide any group toward deeper connection and shared purpose.   This is the power team when effectively guided by the facilitator.

Practical facilitation techniques used in classrooms across 80+ cities in China

 Tested and refined across more than 80 cities in China with 5,000+ teachers,  these methods work in any cultural context and any learning environment.  

How to create connection, curiosity, and real learning in any environment

 Discover how to design learning experiences that spark curiosity, build trust, and create the conditions where real growth happens naturally. 

The difference between teaching and facilitating — and why it changes everything

 Teaching delivers content. Facilitating creates transformation. This distinction will permanently change how you lead.  When we learn to steer out of the 'rut routine' we energize our leadership and revitalize our student's engagement and curiosity.
