Facilitator Training: Tamarind Learning Basics - Module 1

Module 1 introduces facilitators to their dual role as educators and community-builders in Tamarind Learning. Participants begin by clarifying their personal “why” as the anchor for sustainable motivation, then practice using the platform’s key tools—dashboard navigation, discussion posts, annotations, and homework assignments—to personalize learning and reduce friction. The module emphasizes the importance of belonging and facilitator presence, drawing on research and case examples to show how early wins, consistent engagement, and milestone recognition directly increase completion rates. Learners finish the module by designing a first-month engagement plan for a sample participant, setting the stage for more advanced work in Module 2 on creating structured learning plans.
