Notes
Delivery & Adapt
Challenging Dynamics & Strategies to break them
- bring you out to the main object
- that depends of the group
- each group has his own dynamics and you have to be flexible and adapt to they
- Lack of attention: group works, alternate the type of activity, games, asking them why is interesting for the Thema, recognize the difficult topics, get feedback in all stages of the course.
- Conflict in the room: split the group, express the emotions, calm the group, draw the conflict, give the space to speak about what is happening, not ignore, give space, move to a another mindset or physical state.
- Technology takes over: brainstorm, games, break or mix the group, simplify the content
- Missing participants.
- Content no landing: ask about the content or repeat the content, help from the co-facilitator, short break, explain the content in one line, should be clear why is important what they are leaning, visualization, step back.
- Different levels of knowledge: every group has those situations, democratic dynamics, asking questions, use your co-teacher, pair the kids(support others), beginning and end dynamics no related to the content.
The power of co-facilitation (someone has my back)
Co-facilitation
- intentional act to work together
- the 3 R’s of co-facilitation: Roles(who is doing what?)->Rituals(What are our anchors?)->Risk(What could go wrong?)
Roles:
- Which are the Roles that we should have?
- Which are the requirements of each Role?
- Should be set the tasks for each Role forehand?
Rituals:
- Should we have a specific ritual at the beginning and at the end of each class?
- Should we have a small talk in each break or before each independent group exercise?
Risks:
- Should we have a feedback after each class?
