The Responsive Facilitation interactive workshop introduces facilitation protocols developed by the national School Reform Initiative (SRI). Participants will be prepared to take a lead role in planning and facilitating interactive dialogue events in multiple settings back at home, with audiences of all sizes and with attendees of all ages. Nationally recognized facilitator and SRI co-founder, Daniel Baron, models these strategies and participants experience and then reflect on their use from a facilitator perspective.
