What does Love Bites Facilitation involve?
Facilitators usually work in pairs within a classroom. The team comprises a lead facilitator and a shadow, enabling them to offer support to individuals who may find the content triggering or require extra assistance. Facilitators are responsible for engaging constructively with students' questions or opinions but are not tasked with managing student behavior, as a teacher is present in the classroom throughout the sessions.
How do I become a Love Bites facilitator
Attendance at our training implies a commitment to assisting us in delivering the program to schools across the Central Coast region. Facilitators must agree to conduct sessions at one school per term each calendar year. Securing permission from their employer is a prerequisite for facilitators to attend training and facilitate sessions at their employers cost.
