My first workshop per se yesterday. Facilitation pointers.. to bless.. not to impress. Giving colleagues some keys to start off their facilitation journey.
Yesterday some 30 colleagues who were assigned or volunteered to be PLC facilitators attended a PLC facilitators workshop. I have suggested during the previous SMC meeting that it may be good to give the colleagues some simple tools to start off while the Staff Development Dept work out a course for them. I had really meant to give some simple pointers to start them off. Today, Thursday 11th Feb Staff Time is their first PLC session that they will be facilitating.
While I believe that probably they might somewhat have certain experience in leading discussion, but I think the workshop session would have given them some insight to certain "Art of Questioning". Having said that, personally felt that I could have done better in preparation to do a better presentation as I felt the demo facilitation was not as good as I wish it to be.
Nevertheless, let's remind one another some keys:
"I do not all the answer", "Active listening", "Engage everyone", "Open Questions", "Close Questions", "Practice, Practice, Practice"
We'll be getting together again to share our facilitation experience at least once every 2 months to review and feedback.
May we have a fruitful journey in facilitation in our PLC. For the betterment of our school.
