Learning to Facilitate
Following the SFDS training, interested students continue meeting to critically analyze the delivery of specific creative exercises, utilizing a facilitator’s strategy rubric. Students then practice delivering the same exercise and provide peer feedback using the rubric.
Each block, a new exercise will be analyzed and practiced. Students may participate in as many block trainings as they want and are able, and then they facilitate as many exercises as they have learned and practiced, whether they decide to become student workers in C&I or not.
Students who want to become paid facilitators will work in pairs to find a group on campus for whom they can practice delivering the exercises. Initially, their facilitation will be observed by a member of the C&I team. The C&I team member and the students will determine together the point at which the students are ready to deliver a workshop without being observed.
Once students are ready to deliver a workshop without being observed, they can apply to be student workers within C&I and get paid to deliver workshops.
