CRLT Player’s Facilitation Workshop 1 - Building Your Facilitation Technique Toolkit

LSA-ADVANCE Workshops for Faculty 2023-24

This workshop is open to all U-M faculty.

This 90-minute facilitator-led workshop asks participants to reflect on their orientations to facilitation, describe what qualities and techniques they value in unscripted facilitation, and consider techniques for building their facilitation toolkit. This includes a walkthrough of various steps a facilitator might take before a session to prepare themselves, as well as a diffuse set of techniques a facilitator might employ during a session to learn more about participant perspectives, deepen their engagement, and engage with the unexpected. Throughout, participants reflect on what feels available to them regarding their own positionality and role in service of developing their unique facilitation ethos and style.

Goals:

In this session participants will:

● Reflect on their orientations to and values regarding facilitation

● Consider techniques to prepare for facilitating learning

● Discuss techniques a facilitator might employ during a session and why they might use them

● Begin to develop a personal ethos of facilitation
