09 AUGUST 2020 EDUCATION REPORT TO BOARD

Post date: Aug 09, 2020 2:19:7 AM

For the month of August, AVP-USA Education Committee will continue to work on completion of the following tasks:

· Partnering with AVP-I Education in developing plans for the inclusion of an electronic library for online training, workshops, and materials; one area of progress is that there is now a separate filter for AVP online training material and workshop processes.

· Forming a Team of writers and developing plans for the next editions of the USA Manuals and processes for feedback from facilitators.

· Reviewing the Education component of the feedback and activities from the World Café sessions related to Education.

· Collaborating with the Adaptations Committee in developing and revising the AVP-USA Community Facilitation Model of AVP training approaches that differ from the AVP Core or Standard workshops. We are finalizing the wording of the model in full text explanation and as a summary portraying each type of workshop in the form of concentric circles. (See attachments in the July Report)

Some of our activities are ongoing, and thus the primary goal will be continuous improvement of such tasks, for example, sponsoring/supporting Community Circles processes:

· Will continue to partner with AVP-International Education Committee to sponsor Community Circles that support facilitators worldwide in ongoing engagement in AVP workshops and related practices. Community circles are extending into supporting other facilitators to develop and focus on topics related to areas of concern to their respective local areas. For example, online workshop training processes via ZOOM has become the leading interest among facilitators. So far, Australia has taken the lead in sharing the processes AVP facilitators have used to conduct a complete Basic workshop.
