We will be forming our teaching super-shero teams this week. Hurrah! In preparation, please answer the following questions on paper and bring to class this Tuesday. See you there!
1. What experience, if any, do you have teaching or facilitating groups?
2. Are you comfortable with facilitation roles?
3. What do you consider your greatest strengths with regard to potential facilitation?
4. What do you most wish to learn from this experience?
5. Do you have any concerns about potential facilitation?
6. Would you feel comfortable designing your own curricular contribution for a workshop, or would you prefer having a specific agenda that you only need to follow?
7. Have you ever participated in a workshop, conference or intensive (1-2 day) class before? When?
8. Have you ever worked with teens before? Where and when?
9. Have you ever worked with groups outside your peers--elders or children? Where and when?
10. Everyone is a teacher, we all have skills and lessons within us to pass along. What skills do you carry? (Can be anything from frying an egg, to dancing, to drawing cat portraits...name at least one.)
"No experience has been too unimportant, and the smallest event unfolds like a fate, and the fate itself is like a wonderful, wide fabric in which every thread is guided by an infinitely tender hand and laid alongside another thread and is held and supported by a hundred others."
--Rainer Maria Rilke
Letters to a Young Poet, Letter Three, April 23, 1903
