Does not dominate the conversation

Encourage discussion, ask questions!

Allow all people to contribute

Keeps the conversation on topic

Keep it focused on what you CAN do

Facilitator Tips and Ideas

Start with a question

Brainstorm with your participants

Questions you might ask: What is our main objective? Goals for students? (or

teachers?)

Has anyone tried or seen another approach?

Are we asking the right questions?

What were some of it’s benefits? Challenges?

What do you think students would say?

What do you think administrators would be concerned about?
