Facilitator Tip

When answering questions, try to also connect participants with resources that they can use beyond the workshop (forum, group notes doc, lesson plans, Help & Tips, etc.). If participants have questions about purchasing Circuit Playgrounds for their classroom, you can refer them to the Circuit Playground Information page.
