Highly effective facilitation isn’t something that just happens. It’s a skill that’s honed over time through experience and reflection.
Our train-the-trainer model has been shown to produce professional learning providers who successfully lead impactful teacher professional learning. Attendees experience a course as learners and delve into the techniques needed to facilitate it for teachers.
Prepare professional learning providers to facilitate one of our Teacher or Administrator Courses. Facilitation Academies for our shorter courses are also offered to the public during Camp MSS — a learning retreat for science educators and leaders on the shore of the Pacific Ocean.
The best facilitator I ever had didn’t tell me the answer. She showed me how to discover it myself.
