- It is important to bring the teams back together as a group before
completing
the Workshop. As teams may finish at different times, this will take some
coordination. Be certain to help the teams pace themselves by giving time
notices as you work (“You have 30 minutes left,” etc.).
- In order for the AWAL Workshop not to be an isolated incident,
you may
wish to ask questions such as, “So what? What next?” Keep track
of the
ideas generated and use them with the planning team when you debrief on the
effectiveness and follow-up for the Workshop.
- Distribute Form 6 to all participants to solicit their feedback
on the day and
suggestions for improving or adapting the Workshop.
- Collect the following forms from each team before they leave and
staple them
together:
- Form 3: 1 per team
- Form 5: 1 complete Form 5 for each activity developed
- Form 6: 1 per person
- Be certain to thank all participants and the host organization
for the
contribution of their time and enthusiasm.
Additional Handouts
In addition to the AWAL Workshop Forms 1-7 (see Part E), you may also wish
to
provide participants with individual copies of the day’s agenda (also
provided in
Part E). People may be more likely to participate if they can follow the
flow of
the schedule.
Feel free to include additional handouts of other areas that you are covering.
POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN WORKING THROUGH FORM 5 (ON DISK)
- Part A: straightforward information transfer from Form 3
- Part B: straightforward, but important
- Part C: straightforward transfer from list on Form 4. You may
be asked, “Why can’t you code these so that we can just write
1a) or 3c), or whatever?” The answer can include the information
that often mistakes can be made while
transferring information. This way we know that you wrote the skill application
that you intended to. And second, we also know that many people
(particularly academics) learn better by writing things down.
So this is an
opportunity for reinforcement.
