Your own group management style

You may have observed educators with group management styles that are different from or similar to your own when you have been facilitating Remote DAFNE. It is likely that you have management strategies you are comfortable using when facilitating Remote DAFNE.

To help you think about your own style, and how that will work in a face-to-face DAFNE course, consider the following three scenarios.

In each scenario, a group participant’s behaviour is having a negative impact on the rest of the group. It is part of your role as a DAFNE educator to manage challenging behaviour and maintain an environment that helps people to learn. In each scenario you have a choice of strategies you could use to manage the situation. Record the strategies that you feel comfortable using.
