Become a Workshop Facilitator

Who Can Become a Facilitator?
Educators who complete one of our 2.5 day workshops are welcome to apply to become facilitators. We are currently supporting digital storytelling workshops and projects in Oklahoma and Kansas. Each Storychaser phase 1 workshop is led by a lead facilitator, who is assisted by two co-facilitators. Responsibilities of co-facilitators include assisting the lead facilitator with presenting the workshop agenda and assisting participants with individual needs during the workshop on a just-in-time basis. Margaret Nan Harkey's video, "What's Your Story? The Importance of Telling the Stories of Your Photos" provides a good overview about reasons digital storytelling is so important!

How Are Facilitators Paid?
Educators can work for Storychasers as co-facilitators in two different capacities:


 * 1) On school district/organization release time: If your school/organization agrees to provide you with release time to co-facilitate a Storychasers workshop, Storychasers will pay your meals, mileage, and hotel costs associated with presenting the workshop. *
 * 2) On personal leave / vacation time: If you take personal leave or vacation time to co-facilitate a Storychasers workshop, in addition to paying for your meals, mileage, and hotel costs associated with presenting the workshop Storychasers will also pay you an honorarium for up to 20 hours of work per workshop. Storychasers pays $25 per hour for co-facilitators, which is typically $500 for 20 hours of work.

Facilitators are paid by check within 30 days of receipt of all forms and required receipts for a workshop, by Story Chasers Inc.

Handboook
A handbook (created and edited collaboratively in Google Docs) for Storychaser facilitators is available. The handbook provides comprehensive information about facilitator responsibilities, procedures, etc.
