Become a Facilitator
Are you interested in helping diverse parents, teachers, and students confront racial barriers to student achievement? The MCPS Study Circles Program is training a team of facilitators who have the skills and passion to lead dialogues on race and achievement.
The MCPS Study Circles Program helps schools to organize roundtable dialogues that provide a facilitated process for diverse parents, teachers, and students to form relationships, understand racial barriers, and create action steps for change. Each study circle is assigned two trained facilitators.
Requirements

How to Apply
|
Facilitators must have strong process skills, experience working with racially and ethnically diverse participants, and some knowledge of racial barriers to student achievement. Facilitators in study circles are not the experts or teachers, and do not give their opinions. Facilitators manage the discussions from a neutral perspective, create a safe space for participants to take risks, and help participants examine issues from many points of view.
