Whether you’re an educator looking to enrich your curriculum or a facilitator ready to lead workshops that empower others, PLT offers training, community, and resources designed to help you make an impact.
Educator vs. Facilitator: What’s the Difference?
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.
