How to do a SGIF:

1. The instructor decides on a person to facilitate the SGIF.
2. Three very general questions are prepared as a handout to learners:
   • What do you like about the course/program?
   • What would you like changed?
   • What suggestions do you have?
3. The instructor may suggest other questions of special interest to them.
4. The facilitator divides the class into small groups and guides the inclass interviews. The small groups work independently and discuss the questions given to them and write down comments where there is consensus. This consensus is important if an instructor is to make changes based on learner feedback.
5. Learners then gather as a whole class and share their consensus comments from the small group. They then say whether they agree or disagree with particular comments. Again, a consensus is sought from the whole class.
6. The facilitator then collects the information from the learners.
7. The facilitator and instructor meet to review what happened in the classroom, review and analyze the comments.
8. The final and most important part is the instructor's plan for responding to the learners.
