Facilitator

The facilitator is usually a Teacher, Guidance Counselor or Learning Support Teacher who is trained in how to use the KooLKIDS program. The facilitator receives self-paced or face-to-face KooLKIDS training that covers the four KooLKIDS modules and also topics such as the KooLKIDS model, emotion regulation, social emotional learning, emotions, learning and the brain, early intervention, cognitive behavioural strategies, life-mapping, role-playing, and content-specific work. At the end of the training, the Facilitator will be able to successfully deliver the KooLKIDS program and will demonstrate competency in the following skills and knowledge:

• show an understanding of the KooLKIDS model
• demonstrate understanding of the content and competence in assisting with the 13 sessions
• demonstrate a capacity to work across ability levels
• demonstrate a capacity to be flexible with the materials and adapt the program to suit the particular classes and children with whom they are working

The Facilitator will have access to all of the KooLKIDS resources including a fully scripted facilitator’s script to refer to throughout the sessions.
