Teachers who facilitate meetings with their peers encounter unique challenges. Often, they struggle to balance the demands of managing time, energy and processes while simultaneously navigating the challenges of being a colleague and maintaining one’s own professional integrity.
This is the workshop for teacher-leaders who:
- Run meetings
- Lead data-teams
- Chair grade level and department groups
- Facilitate and lead peers and other stakeholder groups
The goal of this two-day workshop is to increase the quality of collaboration that produces benefits for students. You will gain an enhanced understanding of the importance of facilitation. Through a variety of learning formats, you will experience the effects of the Five Mindsets and recognize them in facilitation. You will increase your efficacy and repertoire of tools and processes to operationalize each Mindset.
Intended Audience: Classroom Teachers and any Educational Professionals who facilitate or plan to facilitate groups of teachers through PLC’s, Department collaborations and other school and district leadership opportunities.
Based on the Teachers As Facilitators handbook and Teachers As Facilitators workshop design of Bob Garmston and Carolyn McKanders, presenter Mary Bouley provides practical strategies and tools organized by Five Mindsets with a focus on individual contexts and applications.
