Support the morning workshops with focused activities.

3. Before we Begin – What are you thinking about your workshop
Call up into your mind what you want to accomplish at the workshop (what are your goals)
Write into the chat at least one goal. If you’ve thought this far, also write one thing you have thought about doing at the workshop to meet that goal.

What are your goals for the workshop?
How will you assess if the participants successfully met your goals?
What activities will allow you to achieve your goals for the workshop?

11. What is the most challenging thing you need to do to get ready for the workshop?
Find time is not a good answer – though undoubtedly true
Type your answer in the chat and we will discuss the priorities from the group

12. Things that were challenging for me
You don’t know who is coming in advance
This is a really short amount of time
Balancing learning and applying
Creating a record of what happened
Saving time for reflecting

13. Utilizing the Web Tools
Make use of the workshop website
Use the program page to organize documents that you would like the participants to access either prior to or during the workshop. Note: we cannot host copyrighted documents on the public program page; work with your support person for work-arounds.
Example Program - ml
The website will be a resource that your participants can return to when they want to make use of what they learned.
Together with your Workshop Summary, the Program is the record of what happened.

We ask that each team of conveners write a short Workshop Summary documenting the major activities and outcomes of the workshop to be posted on the website.
What are the big takeaways that other people should know about?
What did the participants gain from the workshop?
Make use of experiences from the group discussions and notes.
This report will be added to the workshop website and, along with the Program page, serve as a permanent record of what happened at the workshop.

19. Workshop Support “Zone Defense”
There will be one support person in each building where afternoon workshops are happening. So, they will be supporting several workshops at the same time.
The support person will collect the attendance sheets after the workshops have begun and will collect the evaluations at the conclusion of the workshops.
The support person will also be able to help you post materials on your Program page if you need assistance.
