Let me help you get there
This course is a cure for the most painful part of many educators’ day: poor meetings. Facilitation is the conscious act of guiding the limited time teachers have together. The job is to make sure it stays on course, to make sure everyone is engaged, and to reach the agreed-upon aims. And crucially: not a waste of time.
Learn to lead engaging meetings with an understanding of the 3 types of facilitation and the 4 meeting types in schools. Execute the managerial tasks that will keep your staff engaged, and bolster your effectiveness by adding the right amount of drama, and combat meeting fatigue.
In the Facilitation Skills training you will learn, practice and apply specific blueprints for the most common types of larger whole-school or divisional school meetings as well as for recurring meetings such as department meetings, grade level meetings, and middle & senior leadership team meetings. This course also looks at techniques that help you manage the emotion of yourself as well as your participants, in the moment, and how to prepare for them mentally.
Each coaching group has a maximum of 12 participants and this makes the learning personal and keeps feedback individual.
Aubrey’s coaching and workshop services are highly recommended for professionals seeking to enhance their facilitation skills for adult learning and their leadership skills. Aubrey’s attention to detail results in highly effective coaching sessions, making his services valuable to anyone seeking professional growth.
This journey has transformed me. It has allowed me to explore and improve my skills as an educator, a coach and a leader. I have learnt to adapt and thrive in an environment of collaborative learning.
It has been inspiring to be guided by you. Your feedback has been insightful and quite pointed towards a path of improvement and also made me think how thought provoking so many of the ideas have been.
Aubrey, you are a wonderful facilitator. You know how much we value your feedback.
You will will learn attributes of how to communicate in a way that transcends language and cultures as was seen when I worked with him.
You will be challenged to think, consider approaches that work for you, and that are culturally appropriate. Furthermore, you will be encouraged to seek input and yet also to go with what feels right for you, as a teacher, coach, or leader.
