A good facilitator with any group is to foremost partof a team. Everyone in the group must feel they are contributing to the experience, but the role of the facilitator guides the process of learning either individually or collectively. The facilitator guides but never dictates; listens actively and empathetically. (??spelling) The ultimate gift we can teach our students regardless of context is the art of facilitation. I think that SCANS and EFF gives wonderful comptencies to guide this process. Qualities of a good facilitator is true to their vision, principles and self; a person who is willing to share. "Be Who He is" (Great Teacher Seminar); authentic teacher (Parmer). Keep it simple-That's my goal. So what do you think my Project Voice, collegues?
