Planning how to gain competencies


WISE uses the "see-do-teach" approach to help you become more proficient in the competency you wish to gain.For example, if the competency is to facilitate workshops.
1See: This involves gaining knowledge of how the competency is practiced, and can be done through a variety of methods depending on the nature of the skills involved.
  • Study established guidelines e.g. reading the facilitator's guide
  • Watch video tutorials e.g. video on facilitation skills
  • Complete a training module e.g. do an online course on facilitation
  • Participate in a relevant activity e.g. attend a workshop and observe how facilitators work
  • Attend a briefing/training • Study past examples e.g. recording of workshop
2Do: This involves applying the knowledge/skill with WISE, and demonstrates that you are able to perform the skills required.
  • Facilitate at least one workshop, first as a co-facilitator, then as lead facilitator
3Teach: This involves training others in the competency, and helps you gain an in-depth understanding of the skills required. It does not have to involve direct training.
  • Review, update and/or develop guidelines e.g. suggesting how the facilitator's guide can be improved
  • Create video tutorials e.g. create a video 10 tips for managing disruptive participants
  • Create a training module
  • Run a briefing/training session
  • Mentor a new facilitator
