The secret to collaboration/love is the principal of mutual opposites

Two simple rules for meeting people:1. Entertain once a week.2. Accept all invitations.

The Facilitator

As demonstrated from diverse sources in

workshops with TDSB teacher-librarians

The Facilitator Defined"One who contributes structure and process to interactions so groups are able to function effectively and make high-quality decisions. A helper and enabler whose goal is to support others as they achieve exceptional performance"

Ingrid BensIngrid Bens (Author); Facilitating Wtih Ease!: A Step-by-Step Guidebook with Customizable Worksheets on CD-ROM, Jossey-Bass, (2000)

The Facilitator’s Job"The facilitator's job is to support everyone to do their best thinking. To do this, the facilitator encourages full participation, promotes mutual understanding and cultivates shared responsibility [so that] group members search for inclusive solutions and build sustainable agreements."

Sam Kaner

Sam Kaner with Lenny Lind, Catherine Toldi, Sarah Fisk and Duane Berger (Authors); Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision-Making, Jossey-Bass; 2007)

Facilitator – DOs• develop the purpose, scope, ground

rules and deliverables of the meeting or workshop

• come prepared with a variety of group facilitation and dialogue tools to employ in difficult moments

• set up a safe environment where members feel comfortable contributing ideas

• guide the group through processes designed to help them listen to each other and create solutions together

“Facilitator” in Wikipedia. Oct. 10, 2007. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facilitator#_note-0

Facilitator – DOsUse active listening and guiding strategies including:

•asking open-ended questions that stimulate thinking

•tentatively paraphrasing and summarizing

•repeating verbatim individual contributions to confirm group understanding

•recording current issues and agreements reached in large script on the wall


Facilitator – DOs• ensure the group doesn't settle for the

first thing that they can agree on because they find it painful to go on disagreeing with each other

• offer opportunities for less forceful members to contribute

• ensure that actions agreed by the group to carry out its decisions are written up in a large script on the wall for all to see and are assigned to individuals

• evaluate the performance of the meeting to assist in continuous improvement.


Facilitator – DON’Ts• back a b opinion voiced in the group

• offer their own opinions

• let the group unconsciously shy away from a difficult area

• lead the group towards what he/she thinks is the right direction

• overplay or underplay his/her personal experience
