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 “Who belongs in CSP?”
  • Agenda
    • Today we will be focusing on Unit 3, which is the first unit where students get to do some programming.
    • We have our last TLO (pause for applause)
    • We will do one model lesson
    • By the end of the day you should also have a good start on your first app in App Lab!

Facilitator Tip

  • Prepare for Gots and Needs ahead of time by using color highlighting to identify patterns, including common tech issues, that you want to point out to participants.
  • 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)

Teaching Tip

This is an example of an engagement activity you can do. You are free to choose a different one if you see fit

(3 minutes) Check-In: Mindset Check

Take a quick temperature of the “room” with a mindset check.

  • Explain that you want to do a quick mindset check as you prepare to kick off Module 4.
  • Describe how the mindset check will work (below).
  • Using a shared Google Slide, have participants write one word with a specific focus (suggestions follow). Encourage them to be creative with color and font if it helps convey their mindset, but to stick to 12 point size so everyone's words fit on one slide.
  • Give participants 10 seconds.
  • Scan the screen for words that jump out at you.
  • Ask a few participants to elaborate/give you the why behind their word

Use your perception of where workshop participants are at this stage of the workshop to decide what the focus of the word will be. The following are examples to give you ideas:

  • Level of motivation at this stage of the workshop
  • Confidence level with CSD
  • Comfort level with equity
