Methods
Use Section V to select appropriate interactive tools ⸀
Note: In the online Tools library, you can sort by each header as well as search by keyword. To view all of the descriptors
for each activity, click on the “+” sign. You will want to use the proficiencies outlined in section III (Proficiencies, page 58) in
addition to the shorthand listing in the Tools table (level and “know/do/be” identifier).
Agenda
Structure the 昀氀ow of the workshop by building an agenda with the timing.
Follow the guidelines on timing from the activity descriptions so you know that you have enough time. If you have less time
than the selected activities call for, consider dropping an activity; or else modify it in ways that people do not feel rushed.
Attend to the relationship-building between you and the participants by including how you will begin and end the workshop.
Build in buffers and breaks to give both you as the facilitator and your participants enough space to absorb the contents and
catch a breath between activities.

Insure excellent facilitation ⸀
•
Meet with the client to go over the materials and support they will provide (e.g., internet access, parking passes,
meals) and the room layout.
•
Create any slides you will use. Have print outs as a backup.
•
Re-read any tool descriptions you’ve selected. Add instructions and notes for yourself to your agenda so that you
have everything in one place. If you are new to facilitating an activity, it is wise to practice it with a friendly audience
prior to the actual training event.
