Innovative Processing Tools & Techniques
Processing or reflection brings learning to life. It helps learners make
connections between educational experiences and real life situations and
creates the path to future learning. Educators and group facilitators
recognize the value of reflection and processing, but often find this
one of the more challenging aspects of group facilitation and teaching.
This interactive workshop offers a variety of innovative reflection
approaches that engage group members in an active and meaningful way.

of tricks.
