Program At-A-Glance
Master Facilitation Foundations
This one-month synchronous, cohort-based, immersive will provide you with an opportunity to go deep with key advanced facilitation cases and methods. Instructors will model a spectrum of advanced facilitation methods and provide learners with the opportunity to practice and receive both instructor and peer feedback. Approx. 3-5 hrs./wk. for one month.
Master Facilitation Practicum
After completing the Facilitator Foundations Series, students will then embark on a facilitation practicum where they will focus on taking up a specific problem of practice in their work. This practicum provides an immediate way to apply and deepen what is learned through practice and to received feedback. Approx. 3-5 hrs./wk. for one month.
Master Facilitation Capstone
After completing both the Master Facilitation Foundations and Master Facilitation Practicum, students will complete their certification experience through a Master Facilitation Capstone Immersive. In this immersive, learners will be guided in revising their professional portfolios, provide artifacts that show their competency in key advanced facilitation foundation areas (including coaching others), and create a plan for their facilitator growth over the long term. Course instructors will model a spectrum of portfolio and growth methods and provide students with the opportunity to receive both instructor and peer feedback on their portfolios. Approx. 3-5 hrs./wk. for one month.
