2 | Skills: Building Capacity as a Facilitator

Facilitating a school improvement effort grounded in transformational learning—the kind that changes the way a group of educators think about their own practice—involves more than moving through a set of steps or tools. Transformational learning is a nonlinear process that requires creative facilitation. Developing the right kind of communication, relational, and analytical skills can help a facilitator spark, navigate, and shape team conversations so that learning and decision making can happen collectively and meaningfully.
