Share an overview of the day
Show respect for the fact that people have given up time to be here.
Let them know when there will be breaks, lunch, and when the day
will end. Be clear and transparent about the purpose and how the
training will support that purpose in language that is easy to
understand. If participants are engaged in the learning, they won’t
ask for a detailed agenda, especially if they know when they can call
home or answer an email. Also be very clear at the outset that there
is no ONE definition or approach to TD, and that notions of TD vary
depending on philosophical approach, local context and setting, etc.
Provide time to develop group agreements
People are quite capable of formulating guidelines for what makes
an effective group. Examples of group norms may focus on allowing
everyone space and opportunity to participate, how time and
timeliness will be managed, whether or not to allow email and
texting during the training session or only during breaks, as well as
group agreements around differences, divergence, and conflict.
