Purpose of this stage
Connect understanding and methods into a complete process. Design and rehearse individual and group work, explain decisions and improve through observation and feedback.
The focus is demonstrated learning, not simply exposure to more techniques. Each task contributes evidence to the learner’s developing practice portfolio.
Modules and practical outcomes
Integrated session planning
Understand the participant, context and resources through EPMC. Agree goals and scope, select methods, organize stages and plan appropriate follow-up.
Explain the relationship between the needs, goals, methods and structure in a plan.
The individual-session process
Build a working relationship and participation agreement, explore the situation, connect conversation with practice, and integrate and close the session. Adapt the sequence to feedback.
Prepare a complete process outline with clear transitions and boundaries.
Individual-session rehearsal
Apply a plan to a teaching case. Rotate participant, facilitator and observer roles, rehearse a complete session and improve specific interactions through feedback.
Keep a session record, an observer response and an explanation of revisions.
Group design and facilitation
Connect the theme, audience and purpose. Design opening, experience, sharing and integration; plan timing, materials, space and co-facilitator responsibilities.
Create a group plan, delivery checklist and facilitation reflection.
Integrated emotional-awareness practice
Use individual and group formats to address a teaching case around emotional awareness. Explain the support direction, implement the plan and respond to observed feedback.
Document application in both formats and revise priority segments.
Presentation, evaluation and reflection
Present the rationale for your choices and evidence of practice. Review personal performance, feedback and plan revisions; identify continuing learning and supervision needs.
Compile individual and group plans, a practice portfolio and a next-stage plan.
Daily learning sequence
Day 1 · Understand and design
Use EPMC to explore a case and justify goals, scope and methods. Observe a complete individual session and draft a plan.
Day 2 · Rehearse an individual session
Rehearse the complete process, observe interactions, receive feedback and revise transitions, responses and closure.
Day 3 · Design a group experience
Plan a group activity, organize materials and co-facilitation, and rehearse the sequence with peer observation.
Day 4 · Apply an emotional theme
Apply the same theme in individual and group formats, review participant choices and feedback, and refine the plan.
Day 5 · Present and reflect
Present practical work and explain decisions. Compile evidence, receive integrated feedback and establish continuing practice priorities.
