For Teacher Facilitators

ROLE OF A SERVICE TEACHER FACILITATOR

Lead and facilitate with purpose
- Champion your service - share passion and knowledge for the service you are in
- Stay connected with partner NGO; know their changing needs and being open to feedback

Encourage MS students to be changemakers
- Support MS students to collaborate and work within MS events and/or other service groups if possible
- Give students roles within in the group to assist in running the service (Chair, Vice Chair) and to step outside their comfort zones
- Complete SWOT and reflect together
Keep up-to-date regarding safeguarding and SSD info on leading service
- Understand the logistics required to run your type of service
- Know child safeguarding at UWCSEA, media policy, and service attendance
- Ask for support from Gloria, Aloni, and the SSD team

The main communication method between SSD Office and Teacher Facilitators is through Google Spaces. This will be a way that SSD can support you in student attendance, help keep your group on track, as well as provide feedback/answers if your group needs help.
