Learn By Doing
The Student Facilitator Training Program is taught through "experiential learning".
You'll learn how to facilitate by actually practicing techniques and watching your
peers and teachers do the same.
That means classes are full of activity and movement. You'll rarely spend more than
5 or 10 minutes sitting at your desk. If you'd rather learn something by doing it
than reading about it, this program is for you! (Full disclosure: We do have a textbook,
so you're not off the hook completely.)
