Week 4: Back Pocket Strategies
Week 4: Back Pocket Strategies (both teams) - Suggestions for how you might facilitate your mini-session.
1. Welcome Week 4 Facilitators!
In Week 4 there are two mini-sessions:
- Team in Trouble (Facilitating Online Teams)
- Facilitation Techniques & Strategies
In this document you’ll find suggestions for how you might facilitate your mini-session. Remember: "Back Pocket Strategies" are ideas, suggestions, and possibilities -- not requirements. They are intended to help – not limit – the way you facilitate your mini-session.
The process of facilitating mini-sessions is explained in the Workshop Handbook. The Overview, Readings and Resources for this week provides the foundation for the learning activities. Use the intended learning outcomes for this week's mini-session to guide your planning and facilitation.
Caution! With two mini-sessions taking place in one week, you’ll have to be careful to make your directions to participants very, very clear.
Role of the FLO facilitators:
One of the FLO facilitators will be assigned to support your mini-session. Involve the FLO facilitator in your communications and planning before and during the mini-session to:
- avoid conflicting due dates between the two mini-sessions running this week
- publish your instructions, dates, links and resources in the appropriate areas of the workshop
- consult on the choice of tools to support your activities, and
- refine your ideas and plans to ensure that your mini-session works.
