Facilitation Guide

Transition to Asynchronous (10 minutes)

Facilitator Tip

For teachers who are not teaching CSP as an AP course, encourage them to use this time to get more familiar with the course in general. Just because they are not teaching the course as an AP this year doesn’t mean that will always be the case.

Facilitator Tip

Participants may not finish the whole scavenger hunt, and that is okay. Our number one goal here is to become familiar with what is in it. This introduction to the Scavenger Hunt and subsequent debrief will cover the most necessary parts of the scavenger hunt.

Facilitator Tip

Screen share the PLACE here. You should move away from the slide deck while assigning work.

Facilitator Tip

Be sure to re-share the PLACE URL where participants will find the asynchronous activities in multiple places and ways, so they do not have to spend time digging for it.

(5 minutes) Give the Assignment

Use screensharing to navigate to the following asynchronous activities:

  • CED Scavenger Hunt

Narrate as you navigate to make it clear how you got there and what is expected of participants in each activity.

Remarks

Now it is your turn to navigate the CED. We have prepared a Scavenger Hunt online for you. You can also access the CED in digital form on the College Board Course. Notice that this activity has two discussion prompts and threads to which you will respond.

In a moment, we are going to move into asynchronous work. We encourage you to work with a partner, but you can work independently if you choose. Your goal is to complete your scavenger hunt. If you work with a partner, you will need to coordinate your time to decide when you will work and when you will be away from your computers.

We will be here to assist anyone that has issues or needs a breakout room. Just notify one of us by saying "hi."

Facilitator Tip

It is important that you know your virtual meeting software here. Decide ahead of time how your breakout sessions will work, and how your teachers will contact you for help.

Facilitator Tip

Consider having some way for you to reach teachers if they don’t make it back after the asynchronous session.

(5 minutes) Setting Up and Checking In

  • Remind participants that asynchronous activities involve working through tasks independently but are still timed.
  • Direct participants to have the PLACE version open and navigate to Module 2 > Session 2 > CED Scavenger Hunt.
  • Let participants know what time you will resume the Synchronous session.

Remarks

Once you’re there, turn on your camera and give a thumb’s up so we know everyone is on board and knows what they are doing.

Once all thumbs are up, we will leave the video conferencing tool on but turn off the camera and mute the microphone. We are still available for questions and support.

Facilitator Tip

During this asynchronous session, support participants in these ways:

  • Make sure to monitor participants’ asynchronous work.
  • You can either check in with participants’ breakout sessions or check discussion forums.
  • Pull notable ideas out of discussion forums for the Session 3 debrief.

You and your co-facilitator will work together to divide up the office hour time. While you are on, you should be supporting participants and checking for asynchronous work participation and completion.

While your co-facilitator is on, you should get lunch and take care of any other responsibilities. Your mental health is important as well, so use this time to step away from the computer.
