Ideas for Implementation

Here are three ideas for putting this video into practice in your community!

1. Get-To-Know-You Activities: Build a bank of get-to-know-you activities for your team. For learners, you may want to create a scavenger hunt based on learning outcomes (e.g., if you are working on free-time activities, list them in a grid and have learners find out who in their community likes each one by asking questions in the target language). With colleagues, pick one idea from the video and/or brainstorm some more!

2. Create a Meeting Protocol: With learners, this protocol might look like a Socratic Seminar protocol. With colleagues, this protocol will likely look involve establishing and agreeing to meeting norms.

3. Set Goals as a Team: With learners, talk about learning targets, how those targets relate to their own lives and goals, and how they (the learners) will and should be evaluated against those learning targets. With colleagues, identify 1-3 goals as a team and work together to determine how you will evaluate your progress and growth.
