After receiving several responses,if participants have not already done so, discussAppendix #1: FourCorners Activity Handout #2 (FacilitationSkills Self-AssessmentExerciseHandout #3 (SuccessFactors for FacilitatorsSelf-Assessmento Learner retention rates as outlined onPoster #1 (Retention Rates) o Malcolm Knowles’ principles of adultlearning, which can be located on Poster#2 (Five Principles of Adult Learning)and PowerPoint Slide #5 (Five Principlesof Adult Learning).

711: Facilitation Skills for Trainersof experience that becomes andincreasingly rich resource forlearning—for themselves and forothers. Furthermore, people attachmore meaning to learning they gainfrom experience than those theyacquire passively. Accordingly, theprimary techniques in education areexperiential ones—laboratoryexperiments, discussion, problemsolving cases, field experiences, etc. Performance MatrixReadiness to LearnPeople become ready to learnsomething when they experience aneed to learn it in order to cope moresatisfyingly with real-life tasks andproblems. The educator has aresponsibility to create conditionsand provide tools and procedures forhelping learners discover their"needs to know." Learning programsshould be organized around lifeapplication categories andsequenced according to the learners'readiness to learn. Orientation to LearningLearners see education as a processof developing increased competenceto achieve their full potential in life.They want to be able to applywhatever knowledge and skill theygain today to living more effectivelyThe Pennsylvania Child Welfare Resource Center711: Facilitation Skills for TrainersPage 3 of 12

711: Facilitation Skills for Trainerstomorrow. Accordingly, learningexperiences should be organizedaround competency-developmentcategories. People are performancecentered in their orientation tolearning. Concept of the LearnerDuring the process of maturation, aperson moves from dependencytoward increasing self-directedness,but at different rates for differentpeople and in different dimensions oflife. Teachers have a responsibility toencourage and nurture thismovement. Adults have a deeppsychological need to be generallyself-directing, but they may bedependent in certain temporarysituations. With all of this responsibility on the learner, what isthe role of the trainer/facilitator? DisplayPowerPoint Slide #6 (Two Roles) and state thatwe carry out two related roles: Trainer andFacilitator. Ask participants to offer what theybelieve to be the difference.o A trainer deals with the known quantities ofa learning experience: the things you canpredict and for which you can plan. The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Resource CenterThey deliver information, the contentof the training, and are often expertsin the material.711: Facilitation Skills for TrainersPage 4 of 12

711: Facilitation Skills for Trainers They set up the sequence andmaintain the flow. They map out the path to achievingthe desired outcomes of the training,aligning what they plan to say and dowith the goals of the learningexperience.o Ask participants: Does everything alwaysproceed as planned? What are some thingsthat can happen? Allow a few minutes forcomment, and acknowledge contributions todiscussion. The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Resource Center These kinds of things, that happenmore often than not, are theunknown side of a given learningexperience, and this is thefacilitator’s territory. When we lose our way, the facilitatorgets us back on track. The facilitator helps learners toovercome obstacles and removesbarriers. And, because the facilitator dealswith the unexpected andunpredictable things that come up,flexibility, adaptability, and a goodtoolkit are necessary for success inthis job.Distribute Handout #2 (Facilitation Skills SelfAssessment Exercise) and ask participants to711: Facilitation Skills for TrainersPage 5 of 12

711: Facilitation Skills for Trainerscomplete.o When they have finished, ask them to offerseveral of the factors and skills they used toguide participants through their learningexperience. Distribute Handout #3 (Success Factors forFacilitators Self-Assessment) which is anotherself-assessment, however offers participants aspecific set of success factors for facilitators.Participants should rate themselves, on a scalefrom one to five, with one being not comfortable atall and five being very comfortable with each of thefactors. When they have finished ratingthemselves, ask them to compare the first selfassessment to this one.o How many of the factors on this handout didthey identify, in some form, on the first selfassessment?o Why do they think they did not identify eachone? Ask participants to share their top two strengthsand top two needs, based upon their selfassessment. Record on a flip chart titled “WIIFM”.You may choose to identify the individual whoshared each strength and need on the flip chart inorder to divide into small groups for the smallgroup work in Section II. You also may wish tocolor code strengths and needs. Ask volunteers to share their comparisonsbetween the first and second self-assessments aswell as why they think they may or may not haveThe Pennsylvania Child Welfare Resource Center711: Facilitation Skills for TrainersPage 6 of 12

711: Facilitation Skills for Trainersidentified all of the factors. Four corners activity. Using PowerPoint Slide #7(Psychological & Accountability PerformanceMatrix), introduce briefly the concepts of buildingsafety and accountability into a facilitation sessionand what makes for a “learning environment”.o Safety considers a participants perceivedsense of safety in participating in a givensession.o For participants, accountability might be toone’s self, to those that they train, to thechildren and families served, to theUniversity, etc.o For county workers that participants train,accountability might be to one’s self, to asuperior, to the children and familiesserved, to the taxpayers, etc.Using Appendix #1 (Four Corners Activity),designate each corner of the room as a “zone”based on the materials and ask each participant togo into the “zone” that represents best how theyare feeling (apathetic, anxious, comfortable, orready to learn). Use this information for discussionabout how they are feeling and acknowledge that itis the facilitator’s role to get them into the learningzone. Throughout the remainder of the workshop,they will explore ways to do so.The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Resource Center711: Facilitation Skills for TrainersPage 7 of 12
