Facilitator: Lorrie Baird
If we want to create a culture of reflective practice and critical thinking, we have to focus on our role in facilitating conversations that can move us. Part of a reflective model in early learning is the role of the facilitator. Knowing how to facilitate conversations is a critical element of learning together. Good facilitation can deepen and enrich conversations, supporting the process of learning together. This session will deepen participants’ understanding of the role of facilitation in promoting group participation, ensuring equity and building trust with a community of learners. We will explore strategies for deep listening, questions that can move us and practice with protocols that can encourage thinking.
