Facilitated Road Maps: Coaching Students to Embed Planning in Major Communication Projects


Abstract Training university students as effective communicators requires authentic, beyond-the-classroom projects and audiences. Often, such projects are multi-faceted and do not have straightforward, “right-answer” outcomes. Helping students organize such projects into feasible components remains a challenge, as many students struggle with time management (Misra & McKean, 2000; Collier & Morgan, 2008), juggle competing obligations (e.g., Guastella, 2009), and are rarely experienced in project planning before they arrive in our classes. A facilitated approach makes it more feasible for students to develop planning skills, and templates make it easier for instructors to embed project planning into a scaffolded sequence of assignments. This chapter provides such resources.
