I have written a Lesson Plan for the class I am going to faciliate -- and I wrote it before seeing the reading for Lesson 3. I am a teacher, so I am accustomed to writing Lesson Plans, with Competencies, only the Lesson Plan of a Facilitator is different from that of a Teacher. I read up on Contructivism, and felt that my Lesson Plan jibed with the idea of the learner as driving the Lesson.
My Lesson Plan is based on two discrete sections to deal with the subject at hand: one a Case Study, the other an Imagery-based exercise which is probably well-suited to the Visual Learner.
I have not had my Lesson Plan reviewed by my mentor trainer yet, hence the absence of specifics.

WeeK 2 Warm-up
...with Claire, Taymour and Akash
Each of us had a specific role
Taymour welcomed the students and wrote down their names
Claire welcomed everyone and invited everyone to a "Virtual Roundtable"
Paula used the symbol of the Golden Apple (TM) and asked each student to put an intention for the class into the Apple.
Akash thanked the students, and us, and presented the Apple as a gift to Sheri and Karen.

Reflections
November 5, 2008 by mierelv
1. What outcome would I like to receive from this class? I would like to improve my skills as a trainer. I would like to become an excellent trainer, developing an ear to hear what is really said.
2. How do I create a safe space? For my students? I tell them upfront they are safe. I set ground rules in my classes. Here? For myself? I am careful with whom I interact, knowing, and appreciating that everyone is different.
3. What do I do to be present before I begin class. I pray and adopt the mindset, the Intention, that I want my class to be of benefit to my students.
4. How and what would I do in my first training…I would have the students introduce themselves, say something about themselves, etc.
5. How do I know each learner is getting what he or she needs? I trust each learner (in this setting) to be responsible for his or her learning. There are no grades, tests, etc., so I trust that each adult learner — all here voluntarily — will get what he or she needs. (If someone isn’t, he/she usually asks questions).

Week 1
Protected: Training the Trainer — Week 1
November 4, 2008 by mierelv
I am embarking on a heck of a journey, pardon my French. Geez — This is one more step up the ladder. In reviewing the questions for this week, I really have to think about them. And I have to get my keyboard fixed! I do know that coaching is impacting my teaching, so I can only surmise that it works both ways. My students at school are somewhat passive and I am using coaching tools to encourage more proactivity! (An added benefit)! More later. pk
