Overview
From knowing the content to teaching it well
Our facilitation courses include 12 hours of instructor-led instruction delivered over five sessions, a 3 – 4 hour self-paced course, with practice teaching and peer feedback.
Some focus on facilitation skills in general. Others look at teaching through a particular lens: LGBTQ+ inclusive and affirming, trauma-informed, or culturally humble and responsive. New Sex Educator Training meets over nine sessions, and Facilitating Sex Education over six.

The cohort model
You learn with the same group throughout
Meeting the same people each week makes it easier to try something new, and to say when something is hard.
Interactive learning
Sessions are built around discussion and activity, with time to ask the questions you have been carrying.
Practice
You teach short pieces of real lessons to your peers, in a setting where it is safe to get it wrong.
Coaching
Your instructor and peers offer feedback that is specific, kind and useful the next time you teach.
Virtual classroom
Finish by practicing your new skills on avatar AI students.
