title: Twelve tips for facilitating team-based learning.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Team-based learning (TBL) has become a more commonly recognized and implemented pedagogical approach in curricula of numerous disciplines. The desire to place more autonomy on the student and spend less in-class time delivering content has resulted in complete or partial adoption of this style of learning in many educational settings.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Provide faculty with tools that foster a well facilitated and interactive TBL learning environment.
  
  
  METHODS
  We examined the published literature in the area of facilitation - specifically in TBL environments, and explored learning theories associated with team learning and our own experiences to create these facilitation tips.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We created 12 tips for TBL facilitation designed to assist faculty to achieve an effective and engaging TBL learning environment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Applying these twelve tips while facilitating a TBL classroom session will help to ensure maximal participation and optimal learning in a safe yet stimulating environment.
