The Student Facilitator Development Series
Becoming a Student Facilitator
Students interested in joining the SFDS should first attend two or more creativity sprints, which C&I hosts on a blockly basis. After completing at least two sprints, students then submit an application for student employment in C&I via Handshake. Selected students are invited to join the SFDS as paid student employees and as part of their positions receive training to become student facilitators.
Learning to Facilitate
Following their initial student facilitator training, student employees begin leading drop-ins in C-Space. They also continue meeting regularly to learn, practice, and critically analyze the delivery of specific and more advanced creativity exercises. Each block, a new exercise will be introduced. Students will provide peer feedback utilizing a facilitator’s strategy rubric. Initially, their facilitation will be observed by a member of the C&I team. C&I staff and the students will determine together the point at which the students are ready to deliver an exercise without being observed.
