Agile Learning Facilitators
Our Agile Learning Facilitators work to provide maximum support with minimal interference. Young people feel more at ease and free to seek support from helpful adults who are not focused on evaluating, testing, grading, praising or criticizing. We create helpful structures, practices, and environments without making decisions for young people or managing their processes for them. We uphold safety, facilitate learning in partnership-based way, and develop compassionate, authentic relationships with young people. Facilitators show up as knowledgeable helpers, guides and supporters who learn from, and alongside, kids. We support young people in clarifying their intentions, getting connected to resources, reflecting on their decisions, and engaging with the community. Facilitators work to keep the space safe and respectful for everyone. They collaborate with young people to develop a powerfully positive culture. They model clear communication, collaboration, and authenticity. They witness, model and reflect.
