Course overview and goals

In this class, students will learn about facilitation-type leadership experientially through facilitation practice. Facilitation-type leadership refers to "supportive" leadership that emphasizes the individuality of team members and draws out their strengths toward a goal, in contrast to traditional "instruction" type leadership. Participants will acquire facilitation skills and learn practically by participating as facilitators in small group classes of the undergraduate course "Visonary Project".
The aim is to think more deeply about facilitation, leadership, and learning through the experience as a facilitator. In addition, they are expected to be role models for new undergraduate students.
