Facilitator Instructions

You as the facilitator will set up an area for each of the 6 Scenarios. If more than 1 scenario will be run at the same time, make sure there is enough space between them so there is no interference.

The scenarios can be judged by one judge, but that judge MUST judge all contestants for the scenario.

The contestant will be given situations by the judge for the scenario, and will score them on their performance.

The contestant should start in a holding room until called to and then move to the contest area.

Once the contestants have competed they should leave the area and have no contact with those yet to compete.

Judges may wish to debrief all of the competitors at the conclusion of the contest. If they choose to do this be sure they do not mention anything pertaining to a particular student. Their comments should be general in nature based on their total observations.
