4-H Facilitator Theory Training Day 2/2

This training program is the entrance point to challenge course facilitation under the WSU 4-H system, the standards by which Chelan County Extension operates its challenge course program. The two courses are based on the Experiential Learning Model “Do, Reflect, Apply” and is structured as such. Your training cohort will start the course as participants with Portable Challenge activities and on the low challenge course together, experiencing the course through the lens of the groups you will be leading in the future. After you “Do” the training will move into the deep work of the science and theory behind group dynamics and facilitation. This will be the bulk of our “Reflect” as we discuss the hows and whys of sequencing, framing, and debriefing. Then we will move into “Apply” as you and your cohort will have your turn leading each other through initiatives and elements on the course.
