Week 1 Notes - FDO: The Big Picture

How do you prepare? (videos)

Facilitating FLO is a team sport.

The strength and quality of your co-facilitation partnership will make a huge difference in your experience, and in the quality of the learning opportunity you are providing.

Maybe you'll be working with someone you know pretty well, and perhaps have "team taught"  or co-facilitated with before, either online or face-to-face. If so, you'll have a sense of their strengths and preferences. If not, it's a good idea to lean heavily on your common experience of being FLO participants, and have some productive planning conversations (using the FLO Facilitator Checklist or your adapted version of it) well before the course starts to decide who's doing what.

In addition to connecting with your partner, you also need to connect with the course - here are a few words from experienced FLO facilitators about how they prepare.

Note: even though these videos were recorded about facilitating ISWO, they are still very relevant to facilitating FLO
