Facilitator Bid and Selection Process <Back>

All Facilitators who have completed the GSB training program can bid for an opportunity to facilitate by

  1. Sending Scott Bristol: sbristol@gsb.stanford.edu an e-mail before the bid close date,

  2. Specifically listing the event(s)# you want to bid for.

  3. Facilitator Development events will require Active Facilitators at the NTL or Experienced Level as indicated.

  4. You can bid for as many events as you want.

  5. If your not sure of dates feel free to add your name to an event bid list and then remove it before bid close date.

Bid submittal dates:

  • Facilitator Bids will be accepted until the end June 27, 2008 for Fall 08 facilitator selection.
  • Facilitator Bids will be accepted until the end October 17, 2008 for Winter 09 facilitator selection.
  • Facilitator Bids will be accepted until the end January 30, 2009 for Spring 09 facilitator selection.

This is not a first bid first choice process, I will collect and record all bids up until closing dates. Once you submit your bid it will be added to the 2008-09 Facilitator Bid List  on this web page. Teaching Faculty for each respective event and I will apply the following criteria to select staffing teams. This process does not preclude me from recruiting individuals as I anticipate special experience or scheduling needs.

Faculty Selection Criteria

Active Facilitators will be given first priority in this sequence

  1. All staffing decisions are at the discretion of the Faculty member teaching the respective section. These variables will guide Faculty staffing decisions.
  2. Facilitators in Training (FiT) who have completed the GFTP within 12 months are given priority placement and pairing with a Leadership Coach or Experienced Facilitator. Each years GFTP class are given an opportunity to compete a year of facilitation and training and advance to the Experience level.
  3. Returning Facilitators in Training increase their chance of placement if they have completed a Developmental Training in the last year.
  4. Stanford Leadership Coaches (LC) will have priority placement based on their scheduled availability.
  5. Experienced Facilitators (Exp) will be paired with 'Facilitators in Training' and other Experienced Facilitators according to Faculty assessment, taking into account these variables in this sequence 1) male-female teams, 2) diversity, and 3) balanced opportunity across all bids.

Active Facilitators vs. Inactive Facilitator Categories for 2008-09

  1. Any facilitator who completed GSB GFTP Winter: 2006 to 2009.
  2. Any facilitator who has trained a GSB or Cross Campus t-group during the 2006-7 or 2007-8 school year.
  3. Any NTL member or Leadership Coach need to have facilitated a t-group in the past 3 years.
  4. Any facilitator who completed  a 2-day Facilitator Development Workshop during the 2007-08 school year. This includes the four training actives: Diversity, Intra-personal, Group Level, Advanced Facilitator Training.
  5. Inactive Facilitators, those who do not fit any of the above categories can bid, but you are in a low priority group. To increase your chances, and have your name added to the active facilitator list you need to attend at least one of Facilitator Development  2-day workshops. 

Active Facilitator Categories

  1. LC - Stanford Leadership Coach
  2. SrF- Senior Facilitator,1/2 time job
