  • Follow the instructions found in the Facilitator Tools Guide.
• If you are only facilitating an odd-numbered module today (M1, M3, M5,or M7) DO NOT CLOSE THE WORKSHOP.

If you are facilitating two modules today:

Having trouble with the survey?

If your participants get an error message when you share the survey link, please follow these steps:

• Don’t worry! This is likely an issue with how the workshop was scheduled in the dashboard.
• Ask your participants to take a few minutes to share their "gots and needs" in the chat. This will allow you to receive quick feedback to inform your post-workshop debrief.
• Let participants know the survey will be coming via email within a few days, and send participants "home" for the day.
• Contact your Regional Partner to let them know the survey link didn’t work, and ask the Regional Partner to follow-up with Code.org on the next business day.
• Code.org will work with Regional Partner to send the survey link to teachers.
