Coach Approach to Facilitation

30 hours of International Coaching Federation (ICF)

Approved Coach Specific Training hours (ACSTH)

1 session per week for 8 weeks

We are committed to delivering exceptional classroom experiences. Based on the best understanding of what educational research tells us is required, to engage adult learners, in transformational growth.  Awesome facilitators make it all look easy. Taking a coach approach to facilitating will support the learning outcomes you and your clients and stakeholders desire.

Upon completion you will:

• Be able to describe and apply the concepts of Curriculum alignment to instructional design
• Be able to explain and apply the concept of Learning ecosystems and how they’re  similar and different and how to apply the learning ecosystems concepts in both face to face and online learning
• Discover your unique learning style and how that affects your participants training experience  
• Describe and strategically choose the best activities to deliver the learning outcomes for your clients
• Practice, practice, practice, theory (a useful over-simplifications) become practical when we experience them
• Set goals for yourself from your added understanding of brain science and its application to learning spaces
• Understand the new International Coaching Federation core competencies that support learning, growth and change at a deeper level

Designing learning systems is both a science and an art.  This learning experience is developed to foster both practical learning theory and giving you opportunities to experiment with the art of designing and delivering educational experiences. We are ready to grow and experiment right along with you. 

What keeps classroom life alive and exciting for us is adding our own imagination and feedback from students, to continuously update our practice as facilitators of leading edge learning so that every single course we teach is unique and fresh. This course is no exception, because we believe you will co-create it with us in your own unique style, thus contributing to a valuable learning experience – for each of us! We are really looking forward to spending this time together! 

Facilitation is a deeply personal process. How an idea reads in a book or how someone else presents it and how you apply it can be three distinct worlds…and that is very appropriate. What current brain research says is that much like the snow flake principle, no two brains are alike and how they receive, process, store and then use information is distinctly unique to each of our brains. 

Facilitation skills and setting up curriculum require high level brain function. No book or fellow facilitator can give you a recipe to facilitate that is guaranteed to work for you or for the individual participants. That secret formula can only be created by you and your brain. Then offered and accepted by your learners.
