Teaching group sets up whatever they need for the lesson. If they can do this during break it will mean more debrief time.

(1 minute) Reinforce Roles
Remind people of what it means to be a learner or a teacher. Have them put their hats on before handing it over to the teaching group.
Facilitator Tip
If your participants are planning on implementing this lesson in a socially-distanced or virtual setting, they can access the Lesson Modifications document to review how to adjust.
(40 minutes) Lesson
Be attentive to what is happening during the lesson as you select your debrief goals, reflection prompts, and discussion prompts. It is recommended that you communicate with your co-facilitator to share what you are seeing in the lesson and develop a shared understanding of the goal of the debrief for the lesson. You can communicate through Slack or through passing notes to one another. You are looking for the teaching group to demonstrate the “Essential practice” and “Teaching group decisions” identified in the debrief below.
Debrief (20 minutes)
Debrief process reminder:
- (~5 minutes) Start with projecting the reflection question(s) on the board or writing it on chart paper. Have the participants who acted as learners reflect on the reflection prompt(s) individually and then share their thoughts with a partner.
- While the room is reflecting and sharing with a partner, have the teaching group discuss and be prepared to share their “Choices, Advice, and Takeaways”.
- When the teaching group is ready, have them share their Choices, Advice, and Takeaways with the room to start the debrief.
- After they have shared, applaud the teaching group and lead the group discussion using the discussion prompts. Once again, post discussion prompts to help keep track of the conversation.
