Week 2 Notes - FDO: The Deep Dive

FLO Week 5: Looking Back, Looking Forward & Assessing Participation

Week 5 is about bringing the workshop to a close, inviting participants to do a final reflection and make concrete plans for next steps.

The main activities this week are:

• Assessing Participation - the Facilitation Team for this "stream" activity prepares a summary report and plans a sharing event for this final week.
• Looking Back / Looking Forward - this is a summative, reflective learning activity. Participants look back on learning in FLO, and make concrete plans for next steps. It is typically facilitated by FLO facilitators with an open invitation for volunteers to lead or assist.

In the FLO Sandbox review these materials to become familiar with the details, learning outcomes, and suggested approaches. This, combined with your own experience, may "twig" other ideas that you could add to the plan and suggest to your participants.

 Tips

• One challenge for facilitators during this week is that people are tired. Keep that in mind when considering the volume and complexity of assigned tasks. 
• Assessment is a topic that most people can relate to and are enthusiastic about discussing. A sharing event that draws on personal experience will jump start participation. 
• Be sure to manage time carefully because the course ends on Friday.
