The Complete Facilitator's Handbook

 
           
  Book description  
  The model presented in this book provides a key to successful facilitation. Originating at the Human Potential Research Project, University of Surrey, it has been continuously developed for over twenty five years, rooted in the realities of facilitator training, and committed to empower whole people in highly flexible learning environments. Analytical and well structured, it relates six basic learning dimensions to three primary forms of decision-making, and within this framework offers an extensive repertoire for practical action. It provides essential support for facilitators to develop their own style and build effective skills relevant to the diverse situations they may encounter. As well as practical guidance, there is a strong theoretical content, covering group dynamics, facilitator authority, experiential and whole person learning, personal charisma, co-operative inquiry and social change.
