FSBA offers the service of providing a facilitator for workshops scheduled by the school board and other school district groups. The facilitator's role is to achieve quality results for the group by maximizing involvement of all participants. Other facilitator functions include: 1) guiding the school board or group in meaningful and productive conversation; 2) charting the major points from the group's discussions; 3) giving feedback; 4) creating and providing a safe enviroment for discussion to occur; 5) summarizing, organizing, and categorizing the results; 6) assisting with developing a plan of action and determining next steps, if appropriate; and, 7) keeping the group "on task" to assure that the predetermined meeting outcomes are achieved.
The fee for this service is $750.00/per day in addition to all travel, lodging, and food expenses of the facilitator. To arrange a facilitator for a workshop, a school official will need to contact Karen Denson, Director of Board Development, at the FSBA office, who will be responsible for securing a facilitator for the workshop.
