Communication centers can benefit from the facilitation training literature currently used in the areas of leadership, consulting, and dialogue and deliberation. Skills such as remaining "substantively neutral" or "passionately impartial," knowing when to intervene, active listening, self-monitoring, questioning and clarification, and modeling good communication practices are all part of the facilitator's "tool kit" that can prepare peer tutors to be more competent communicators. By drawing from facilitation training, communication centers can equip peer tutors with a skill set that can be easily translated into a variety of interpersonal contexts.
