Competition – Development National Master Learning Facilitator
– by Cyndie Flett

CAC, in partnership with the Provincial and Territorial Coaching Representatives (PTCRs), is pleased to announce the creation of a new role within the NCCP: Competition – Development National Master Learning Facilitator (MLF). Four to five individuals will be selected to fill this role and will form the Competition – Development MLF National Team which will be under the direction of CAC.

The national MLF concept signals a new approach for the training, evaluation, and professional development of NCCP Learning Facilitators (LFs). CAC and the PTCRs believe that the Competition – Development National MLF Team will further enhance and strengthen the quality of NCCP multi-sport delivery by providing front-line LFs with nationally consistent messages during their initial training and on-going national support post-training.

The Competition – Development MLF National Team will work with Advanced LFs (identified by the province or territory) to ensure there is ongoing support to LFs.

A complete list of the roles of the National MLFs, the Advanced LFs and LFs can be found on the CAC website.

The National MLFs and Advanced LFs are new roles. The responsibilities they have in common with LFs are: participating in relevant professional development; promotion of the NCCP; facilitating Competition – Development multi-sport modules; and submission of constructive feedback to facilitate future improvements to the NCCP;

Some of the responsibilities of the National MLFs include: providing leadership to the Advanced LFs and the LFs for the delivery of the multi-sport modules; ensuring nationally standardized delivery and facilitation of the six Competition – Development multi-sport modules; developing the Advanced LF and LF training strategy; and providing ongoing training and support to the Advanced LFs.

Advanced LFs will co-facilitate the implementation of the LF training with the National MLF; support LFs in their province/territory; and observe and evaluate the LFs’ facilitation of the Competition- Development modules.
