More About THE S.M.A.R.T. Choices Facilitator's Guide
The Facilitator's Guide to S.M.A.R.T. Choices! offers a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for successfully delivering and supervising this exciting curriculum within an accelerated learning context. The Facilitator's Guide is written in the same format as the workbook, designed to provide group leaders with a thorough understanding of the program and of the unique experiential learning style. (Approx. 400 pp)

In the first section, "About S.M.A.R.T. Choices!", Facilitators are exposed to the fundamental principles that are at the heart of the curriculum. Facilitators come to understand our unique, wholistic approach to change, and learn how each detail of the curriculum is intrinsically woven throughout each chapter of the S.M.A.R.T. Choices! workbook.

The second section, "How To Teach S.M.A.R.T. Choices!", instructs Facilitators on the effective creation of an accelerated learning environment. It speaks to the intricacies of the human learning process, introducing specific techniques for fully engaging the wide range of learning styles found within any group dynamic. This section also explains the specific format of the curriculum: why the workbook is designed the way it is; why it is important to successful learning to complete each chapter; how to use support material and props to further the learning experience; how concepts are presented, etc.

In the subsequent 6 sections - the Overview and one section for each of the 5 Steps to the core decision making model - we look at the key concepts in each Step. We expose the potential responses, both positive and negative, that the Facilitator may encounter and we provide solutions to various dynamics that will occur within their groups.

In the last section of the Facilitator's Guide, the "Resources Section", we provide group leaders with a comprehensive resource outline. We show them how to set up a room for maximum involvement, what tools to use as they teach, and how to integrate music, colour and movement to engage both sides of the learner's brain. In this section, we also present a comprehensive selection of reading material, music, and videos to use as preparation for teaching the Step and for use with exercises within each Step.

Professionals facilitating the S.M.A.R.T. Choices! curriculum tell us the Facilitator's Guide is one of the best teaching tools they have ever used.

"Our observations over the years tell us that most people aren't prepared for the very fast rate at which change is occurring. We are expected to make decisions faster, to respond to situations faster, to get "better" faster, and to learn faster - all just so we can "keep up"! We designed this workbook to help guide you through a process that we guarantee will help to make it easier to handled change and to make your life better than it has ever been."
