What Is Parent Facilitator?
Parent Facilitators are trained members of the Parent Support Group (PSG) who not only assist in facilitating SFE workshops, but are also tasked with reaching out to parents with the aim of increasing parent involvement and raising awareness in school family education.
Parent Facilitator Training
Parent Facilitator Training, or PFT, is opened to all PSG members. If you are keen on joining the PFT but is not yet a PSG member, that’s easy enough. The first step towards PFT would be to join PSG as a member.
Module 1 of PFT covers the importance of family life education, spanning a wide area that includes the basics and tools of effective facilitation, individual and family life cycle, development and challenges of raising tweenies and adolescence as well as how marriage affects parenting.
To have a better understanding of how PFT has changed the perspective and outlook of some parents, check out our “Parent Facilitators’ Say” section.
There are, however, some criteria that parents have to fulfil before and after attending PFT:
1) In order to qualify for the MCYS subsidy for the course, parents need to be a member of the school’s PSG to join PFT.
2) Shortlisted parents will have to go through a round of interview with the school.
3) Upon completing the PFT course (which is about 40 hours), parents are obligated to render 9 hours of facilitation services to the school within one year of course completion.
