Facilitation Guide

Welcome and Housekeeping (7 minutes)

Producer Tip

As people join, welcome them. If possible, test their audio/video quickly just by having them say “hi.” Enter links to attendance and the day’s slides in the chat frequently as people join so they can complete the activity.

Producer Tip

Verify that you have the TLO information from the groups presenting today. If you have any questions or did not receive the information, make sure you get the information as people join.

(0 minutes) Housekeeping

Have everyone complete the attendance for the module.

  • There will be a specific link for the module at your workshop.
  • Check that everyone is marked as present in the online workshop dashboard

(2 minutes) Review agenda for the day

  • Review norms from day one
  • The theme for today is “The Role of the Teacher”
  • Agenda
    • Today we will be focusing on Unit 1
    • We will see three lessons from Unit 1 in TLOs
    • We will also be talking about formative and summative assessment opportunities today.

Facilitator Tip

  • When reviewing the Gots and Needs, consider when you will cover the questions naturally (given the agenda for the workshop).
  • If possible/needed, make one change based on the feedback and explain that to participants. We want them to know that we do act on feedback. One way to show them that is to act on one piece of feedback on the first day.

(5 minutes) Gots and Needs

Describe how you, the facilitator use gots and needs and survey results.

Share themes from gots, needs, and survey with participants.

Address any gots and needs you can cover quickly.

Engagement Activity (3 minutes)

Facilitator Tip

This is just a suggested strategy for gauging participants' engagement levels. There are many different types, and you should feel welcome to customize it as you see fit

Facilitator Tip

In Google Slides, find the emojis in Insert > Special Characters > and then change Symbol in the drop-down menu to Emoji.

(3 minutes) Emoji Check-In

Take a quick temperature of the “room” with an emoji check-in activity.

  • Explain that you want to do a quick check-in to see how participants are feeling after the first module and as you prepare to kick off Module 2.
  • Using a shared Google Slide, ask all participants to pick an emoji that best describes how they are feeling about the CSD curriculum and CS content right now.
  • Ask for the why behind any unusual or unclear choices. Be sure to also ask those who are clearly feeling good or confident why they feel that way so you have examples of both positive and negative emotions.
