FACILITATION CHECK

Before you start the timer.

The same activity can feel inviting or exposing depending on how it is framed.

I can explain the learning purpose in one sentence. Students have a lower-exposure entry option. The rule is simple enough to demonstrate. I know what behavior I will debrief. I can stop or adapt the activity if the group needs it.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Turn routines into a facilitation repertoire.

Educator PD can move from experiencing activities to adapting, debriefing, and sequencing them with confidence.
