Educators are individuals who use PLT materials in their classrooms, programs, or youth activities.
They:

• Attend PLT workshops as participants

• Gain access to PLT curriculum, activities, and teaching resources

• Integrate PLT lessons into their work with students or youth groups

• Do not lead or host workshops

Educators focus primarily on teaching, not training others.

Facilitators are trained leaders who teach others how to use PLT.
They:

• Host PLT workshops

• Train new educators

• Guide adult learners through PLT curriculum

• Follow facilitator requirements, policies, and form submissions

• Serve as representatives of PLT’s mission and standards

Facilitators focus on leading, training, and expanding PLT throughout the community.
