A reading method
that requires students to listen to a teacher read a selection and then
read the selection after the teacher.
|
..
| Individual
and small groups of students can benefit from Repeated Reading. See Large. |
.
|
This approach
is used as part of the Whole
Language reading method. (Jac Slik) |

| The
word "replication" means a process of deliberate repeating. An important
element of the scientific method is that any experiment to learn about
the relationships between variables should be replicable. That means if
you repeat the same actions, under the same conditions, the results should
be the same. |
. |
Since no two
communities are alike (so far as we know) and no community is the same
at two different points of time, the notion of replicability becomes an
ideal rather than something which can be practised precisely. |

Reporting is the process
of conveying information. It can be verbal, written, or electronic.
Among these training
modules there are several that give guidance in writing reports; see: Report
Writing.

| Your
reputation is the most important asset you have as a mobilizer. You can
be a better leader
when people trust you. |
. |
It is not only
important to be honest, it is important to be seen to be honest. That is
why you should conduct all your mobilizing activities with transparency. |

| A
“resource” is anything of value that can be used as an “input”
for a project. Most poor people assume that their community
does not have any resources, and seek assistance
outside. |
. |
Any community
that contains living human beings has resources,
some hidden, that can be used for self-help development. See Hidden
Resources. |

| The
set of responsibilities, activities and tasks, identified for each "actor,"
is a "role." |
. |
These must
be determined logically and consciously by the group through your stimulation,
during the organizing
for action aspect of your work. |

In team games of ball,
such as football, rugby, soccer, lacrosse and (grass) hockey, one player
may have the ball and be headed for the goal of the opposing team.
Other team members
are obliged to assist the member with the ball.
One important way to
do that is to run ahead of the player with the ball, and clear the path,
keeping opponents out of the way.
This is called "running
interference" for the player with the ball.
In a mobilization programme,
a mobilizer has enough work to do in organizing a community to engage in
self help.
Journalists and politicians
often mistake the objective of the mobilizer to be the construction of
the latrine, clinic, school or water supply (whatever). It is not.
The objective of the
mobilizer is to strengthen the community, and the latrine (or whatever)
is a means rather than an end.
(It is easier to photograph
a latrine, perhaps with the politician standing in front of it, than to
take a news photograph of a "community empowerment").
A good manager of mobilizers,
will "run interference" for the mobilizer, by finding opportunities to
raise the awareness of journalists and politicians, that the objective
is to raise the capacity of the community (not to construct the latrine
or whatever).
The mobilizer needs
less to defend her or his methods for community empowerment, and thus to
defend the longer time it takes for the construction of the latrine (or
whatever).
