CLEE’s Facilitator Training not only helps to hone and develop your facilitator skills but it also creates an avenue for personal exploration and transformation. Transformation begins at the individual level, where self-awareness and a willingness to confront discomfort are crucial. This awakening can lead to a deeper understanding of how our identities shape our experiences and perceptions, revealing new insights.This process often ignites a recognition of injustices that we may have previously overlooked. The journey starts with identifying and grappling with one’s own biases and seeking growth, laying the foundation for broader systemic change.
As our self-awareness grows we begin to look at the communities around us, particularly educational settings in which we work and hope to facilitate collaborative learning. We consider how we can use our new understandings to impact the educational experiences of our students, families and colleagues. We begin to engage with diverse perspectives and promote inclusivity with the goal of creating environments and structures that develop and sustain an equitable culture of learning and growth.

Ultimately, this transformation of structures and systems requires committed leaders at all levels and a willingness to take risks. To effectively drive change, we must undergo our own transformation, find our own leadership voice from any part of the organization, and develop the resilience needed to navigate challenges. This commitment is vital for fostering a culture that embraces change and challenges the status quo. When we model transformation, we can inspire others in their own transformational journeys which expand outward to the schools in which we serve.
