Leading Groups, Facilitating Groups, and Reading People

Complete the assigned readings, and in this final discussion for HUM 6100, instruct the class regarding:

  • What have you learned about effective facilitation that will help your peers facilitate groups of consumers in the future?
  • What have you learned about nonverbal communication and body language?

Include the following in your initial post:

  • Describe what you feel are the least and most effective styles of leadership, providing an example describing an effective leader that you admire and/or one for whom you have less admiration.
  • Provide one or more resources that will help your peers continue to grow as facilitators of small and/or large groups.
  • Describe three ways of communicating nonverbally and explain how this communication is harmful or helpful in your relationship with human services consumers.

Substantively respond to a minimum of two peers by Day 7 of Week 6. Critically evaluate your classmates’ presentations, offering constructive criticism and recommendations.

The main discussion post should consist of 450-650 words. Please cite and reference your main post in APA format.

  • Present your research question as two or three versions, based on the different approaches you have explored that seem most appropriate to your research problem and purpose.
  • Make a case for why each approach would work.
  • Identify the approach you believe best fits your research question. Then, re-formulate the question based on the approach you selected.
  • Describe how the approach you selected will direct the procedures you will later develop.
  • Summarize your choice of theoretical framework for your prospectus. Justify how your choice aligns with your current choice of research question and approach. If they are not aligned, choose a more appropriate framework.
  • Given your choice of approach, describe what data collection tools will be most appropriate to consider. Note: This is not a commitment to use all of the tools you identify; rather, it is meant to be a reflection on what is possible given your choice of approach.
