Writing Facilitator Notes
Assume that the facilitators are new to the material and that everything must be
explained in detail. Hold a facilitator training session wherever possible. At the
facilitator training session make sure to talk about the importance of clear language.
Content
Your workshop notes should include:
- An introduction for the facilitators to:
- Explain how the workshop fits within the overall conference
- Review their role
- Provide background materials on the workshop theme
- Introduce the materials. Stress in the notes that facilitators should feel free
to modify the program to meet the needs of the participants while meeting
the objectives of the course.
- An overview of the workshop, 'workshop at a glance', including:
- Goals
- Times
- Agenda
- Materials and supplies needed for the workshop
- Advance preparation required (flip charts and other visuals etc.)
