Facilitation Techniques & Self Care Tips To Help Avoid Blowups and Burnout

Have you ever felt that you have simply come to your wit’s end while working with students, often times resulting in higher stress levels on and off the job? Although, working with students can be super fulfilling and joyous most times, at other times it can be extremely challenging. One thing we can do to start us down an adjusted pathway is to remove the notion of control and think of the related dynamics as building cohesiveness. Facilitators – although responsible for building this dynamic with their student teams – must also be equitable, charming, fun, enthusiastic, welcoming, and likable. We can be all of these things much better for ourselves and our students through positively and effectively joining our didactic nature, our education, our lived experience, our professionalism, and our personal demeanor. This workshop provides tips and techniques, not only for working in the classroom, but also for a facilitator’s regrouping, renewal, reflection, and replenishment. Resulting in a big picture perspective that is fed by a stronger connection to self, your mission, and your personal and professional why.
