Facilitation Guide

Workshop Opening Logistics (3 minutes)

(0 minutes) As participants join the call

💷 As participants join the call, warmly welcome them to the workshop. It is recommended that you have some sort of get-to-know you discussion starter that can trigger some conversation for you to fill the time as people join. The one in the slide deck is currently: W_hen you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?_ You may decide to change this if something else feels top of mind.

During this time you can also take care of some logistics such as:

  • Encourage them to take attendance
  • Ensuring that they have the slide deck open for the workshop

(1 minute) Attendance

Have everyone complete the attendance for the day on the Workshop Dashboard - Tool found in your workshop.

Follow the instructions found in your Facilitator Handbook - 2021 to take attendance for your workshop.

(1 minute) 💷 Agenda Overview

Walk through the agenda of the day. Participants should be aware that they will be gaining more experience with Unit 10 for most of the workshop. However, before we talk about Unit 10, we want to wrap-up Unit 9.

Facilitator Tip

More information about these norms can be found in our Professional Learning K-12 Norms One-Pager. This document isn’t necessary to distribute to participants, but can help to provide context for you as you review groups norms.

(1 minute) 💷 Review Norms

Remind the group of the K-12 Professional Learning norms that were established during the Summer Workshop.

  • Be present.
  • Make space and take space.
  • Seek to understand.
  • Take risks.
  • Expect and accept non-closure.

Connect to Asynchronous Work (12 minutes)

(3 minutes) Asynchronous Work Reminder

💷 Remind participants of the work they did in the asynchronous work in this module. This included:

  • Reviewing the Unit 9 - Data landing page.
  • Using the Data Visualization tool to create histograms and cross tab charts.
  • Reviewing how students would use the Data Analysis Process in the Unit 9 project.

Facilitator to add: Pull out 1 or 2 quotes from the shared group reflections to summarize what participants heard. The question participants were asked to answer in the asynchronous work was: “Who we are and our experiences with the world can shape how we interpret data. How do your experiences influence how you will approach teaching this unit?”

Pulling direct quotes from the asynchronous work is intended to:

  • Reassure participants who did the asynchronous work that the asynchronous work is important to their own learning and the learning of the community.
  • Support participants who did not do the asynchronous work by giving them insight to where the rest of the group is.

Thank participants for sharing all of their reflections and then connect this to the next portion of the session which is thinking about how students’ experiences will influence their work in Unit 9.

Producer support: Prepare to put participants in groups of two in breakout rooms for five minutes.

(9 minutes) 💷 Reconnect

Remarks

💷 (6 minutes) In a minute, you will be put into pairs to talk about your experiences. You will have 5 minutes in these groups before coming back to share out. In these groups, you will discuss:

  • How will your students’ experiences influence how they might tell data stories in Unit 9 - Data?

If you have questions that you’d like answered during this time, feel free to add it to our question parking lot slide. We will do a short share-out after we get back so be prepared to also share common themes from your discussion.”

Producer support: Put participants in groups of two in breakout rooms for five minutes.

Facilitator Tip

As participants are in pairs, watch the question parking lot for questions that have short answers. Feel free to put brief answers directly in the document during this time. Additionally, there might be questions from the question parking lot that you want to use to structure your share out.

(3 minutes) When participants return, ask participants to share any themes or concerns they want to bring to the larger group here. If you run short on time, encourage participants to share their questions in the question parking lot.
