Advanced Facilitation Skills
- Would you like to know how well you are doing in leading discussions?
- Would you like to improve your presentation skills and/or know how you can positively impact the environment when you participate in committees or meetings where the structure is hierarchical?
- Do you want to improve your facilitation, leadership and communication skills?
If you answered yes to any of the above, then don鈥檛 miss this opportunity to develop important and relevant skills and check out聽this set of practical and highly participatory聽facilitation skills workshops.
Why: Successfully learning to lead and guide student discussions requires a range of fairly sophisticated communication skills; many people employ strategies using trial and error as they have never been trained to facilitate discussions. Facilitation allows everyone to express themselves, keeps discussions moving and maintains a safe, respectful group environment. It also gives a practical insight into the hidden curriculum of class or group dynamics. Bonus: Facilitation helps beyond classroom settings as it helps groups have more inclusive and efficient meetings.
