For Group Leaders

The Roots Course is designed to help you organize and facilitate a successful group.

Group Leader Overview

Introduction

While learners can explore the Roots Course Series independently, the content is best explored with a group. As a group leader and facilitator, you play an important role in bringing your group together, selecting Roots Course Series content to explore, facilitating discussions, and supporting your groups’ learning experience. The Roots Course Series is designed to help you with this process from providing tools to keep your group organized to the in-depth Facilitator’s Guide– a rich source of ideas and recommendations for each course in the Roots of Health Inequity Course Series.
