GCC Qualified Facilitator (QF) Interest Form

Seeking Facilitators for Educator Training -- AFS Global Competence Certificate
The Global Competence Certificate (GCC) is a course for educators, developed by AFS to deepen understanding of identity, awareness of others, navigating interpersonal relationships, and taking action in an ever-evolving global world. The program consists of 20 self-paced modules and 5 live dialogue sessions, typically 90 minutes per session. The self-paced modules include short videos, quizzes, an online forum, and brief homework assignments. Most GCC classes are conducted over 5-6 weeks.

In 2023, AFS-USA plans to offer this course to educators –teachers, counselors, administrators, etc.—from the U.S. and another country. We are seeking AFS-USA volunteers who are interested in becoming certified facilitators of the GCC course, and to then co-facilitate at least one or two GCC courses for these educators in 2023. As a facilitator, your primary role is to co-facilitate the 5 live dialogue sessions for each course. Your comfort with facilitating participants who may have English language difficulties is a plus.

While we’re happy to fund your certification as a facilitator, this comes at a cost to AFS-USA. Therefore, we ask that you only register if you are prepared to engage as a co-facilitator of at least 1-2 courses in 2023. The facilitator training is available either November 8, 5-7pm Eastern, or November 10, 9-11am Eastern.

You can learn more about the GCC for Educators course here, and about the facilitator training here. If you have questions about this opportunity, please contact Jill Woerner, jwoerner@afsusa.org; tel: 646-381-3309.
