Are there any directions about parking or locating the space?

Make a Plan

You should go through every session to make a plan for how you and your co-facilitator will support each other in running the session.

Don't forget to check the pre-survey results to determine what lessons to focus on. The survey gets sent out to teachers automatically 10 days before the workshop. You can view the results on the Workshop Dashboard.
