Session 13: Wrap Up

25 minutes

discussion-based

Purpose

This session begins by wrapping up the “Learning through Creation” theme for the day. There is also time for the facilitators to answer questions and address specific needs of the participants in the room. The goal in answering questions is to connect participants with resources that they can use to extend their learning beyond the workshop.

In addition, time is allotted for participants to complete the workshop survey prior to departing.

Objectives

  • Participants engage in the “journaling” teaching and learning strategy
  • Participants work on developing the skills necessary to continue to build their CS content and pedagogical knowledge outside of the walls of the workshop through avenues like the forum, the community’s shared resources, online courses, peer collaboration,
  • Participants reflect on the day and provide workshop feedback

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, Map Levels, etc.). If participants have questions about purchasing Circuit Playgrounds for their classroom, you can refer them to the Circuit Playground Information page.

Closing Activity (2 minutes)

Prompt: What are you looking forward to when teaching CS Discoveries next school year?

  • Have participants do a quick whip around to share out.

  • Wrap up the workshop (2 minutes)

    • What kind of reminders should people have leaving the day?

(8 minutes) Survey

  • Show the slide at the end of the deck that includes the appropriate link based on your in-person workshop model (in-person, 1-day OR in-person, 2-day).
  • Make sure all the teachers in your workshop take the survey for the workshop before they leave.
  • On the online workshop dashboard find your workshop and close the workshop during the closing of an in-person, 1-day OR during the final closing of an in-person, 2-day workshop.

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.
