Become a peer circles facilitator
The new, voluntary Quality Assurance Program initiative, peer circles, is being piloted this fall. The College is looking for facilitators to help guide small, virtual groups of kinesiologists in discussing issues relevant to their practice and working through case studies. Learn more about peer circles.
A facilitator’s role is not about lecturing or instructing the group, but rather helping the group collaborate through problem solving, applying an ethical decision-making framework to reach their own conclusions, and work through case scenarios. The facilitator assists participants in identifying the relevant issues, the ethical and legal considerations, identifying the relevant practice resources to consult, and determining the appropriate response. If you have experience in this area, we’d like to hear from you.
Why be a facilitator?
Benefits to being a facilitator include:
- Contributing to the delivery of competent, safe and ethical kinesiology services;
- Being recognized as an experienced and knowledgeable leader within the profession;
- Developing proficiency in practice standards and guidelines, and applying new insights in daily practice;
- Exposure to new ideas, perspectives, innovative approaches to practice and re-engagement with learning;
- Further development of facilitation skills; and
- Personal and professional growth.
Being a facilitator can count as continuing professional development.
