This course is intended to provide participants with a unique opportunity to examine the issues inherent in facilitating a variety of group settings. Participants will have the opportunity to gain rich experience in the design, implementation, facilitation and evaluation of these unique group contexts. This course is primarily a laboratory training experience based on a model refined over the decades by National Training Laboratories. The NTL model, which focuses on personal and group development, is supplemented to provide a richer experience for understanding and applying group-process theory. Further opportunities to develop and practice sophisticated group facilitation skills are provided.
