Facilitator

counseling I notice was the facilitator’s contribution of their personal stories. The facilitators did a good job of sharing their stories, while connecting to the topic of resiliency. Their contributions were great examples for the participants to model their own stories of resiliency. I saw the benefit of what the facilitators did, but also how easy it is to spark an emotional that leads to switch from facilitator to…

According to Jacobs et al. (2012) seven categories of groups, the discussion group setting would pose the most challenge for me as a counselor/facilitator. I foresee this challenge based on my own strong dominate personality and persona. “Discussion group leaders primarily need to be aware of any member who tries to dominate or distract the group” (p.42). I will admit I often present a strong and powerful demeanor solely based on upbringing and career choice. This specific group focuses on…

Family star groupings workshops give an approach to open the regularly concealed reasons for individual issues that are keeping a man down in their life. A prepared facilitator works with a gathering of individuals, one of which is the seeker, to reveal and decipher the hidden reasons for issues that are keeping the individual down. The other gathering individuals frame the star grouping and speak to the seeker's relatives, not as pretend, but rather normally reflecting the sentiments of those…

A facilitator is someone who performs these activities, helping the team by monitoring and improving its internal process. Twelve Angry Men, a movie about an open-and-shut murder trial in which one juror stands alone in his beliefs, made use of facilitation. When the twelve jurors were sent to deliberate a unanimous verdict, the case…

used in an online virtual classroom (Blackboard, Collaborate, OMNI) this activity combines online chats, email exchange, and group/social activities. Facilitators can be as actively involved as they wish. Facilitators can control the advancement of the frames, see the high and low scores, and see the questions that are most difficulty. Facilitators have total control of the learning environment and can allow time for reflection, questions, and discussions. When using this website with…

members have a successful deliberation, the facilitator needs to be unbiased and moderate to the topic. When the facilitator’s mind is already enveloped by his value and belief, the facilitator may utilize the role to, intentionally or unintentionally, manipulate the discussion towards a direction he or she prefers. In addition, according to the textbook, an effective facilitator should draw people out and help everyone feel heard (337). If the facilitator does not have a strong competence of…

The service organization that I observed was the Policy Council Meeting. The Policy Council is a community organization that consists of agencies with common goals. The Policy Council includes Social Workers, counselors, nurses, educators, law enforcers, a judge and other agencies that provide assistances to teens and young adults in the community. The purpose of the group is to discuss issues in the community that involves teens and young adults. One goal of the group participants is to…

Work Sampler # 4 – Icebreaker/Energizer For the icebreaker the facilitators will be playing Jeopardy; each topic has five questions with five different point levels ranging from 100 to 500. For each topic, there will be a change of text to different questions and an increase of difficulty. The final question will be the will be the most difficult question to challenge the group players. The facilitators have created a power point file with the appropriate questions for the Educational group; all…

musing enabling the creation of original notions serving as a haven for independent thought, but also as an area to exchange knowledge. In the case of the J. Murrey Atkins Library—explicitly the ground floor—the underlying message provided by the facilitators is considerably…

The interview consisted of asking various technology related questions; learning about the role and importance of a media facilitator, and connecting the interview to our class content. When determining interview questions, it…
