What does it mean to be a facilitator?

Being a facilitator means that you are not really a teacher, nor are you a leader. A facilitator serves as a guide, helping workshop participants gain a better understanding of the guide books, their uses, and potential impacts on student’s environmental awareness and understanding. As a facilitator, you set the stage for learning and encourage participants to explore and develop as professionals.

Procedure on becoming a facilitator:

Depending for which project you want to be a facilittor, attend a 6 hour Project Learning Tree, Project WET or Project WILD workshop training.
Attend a Project Learning Tree, Project WET or Project WILD Facilitator Training.
Co-facilitate with a seasoned facilitator for at least one 6 hour workshop, or until you are comfortable facilitating on your own.
Attend yearly facilitator “refresher” courses when offered.

Commitment for a facilitator:

Facilitate at least one workshop a year with a minimum of 10 participants.
Stay current on all statewide and national office of education trends and policies.
Stay current on all statewide and national trends in environmental education.
Be willing to advertise and promote upcoming workshops within the facilitator’s network.
