Facilitator displays level of support categories and reminds participants of data reviewed.

Facilitator guides a discussion on strengths and weaknesses of each option. Record strengths and weaknesses on charts or using an electronic tool (e.g., Padlet, Web Whiteboard,  Google Docs). 

Facilitator grants members time to determine their level of support regarding each option.

When all members are ready to be polled and later defend their level of support for options, polling begins on the options. Note members may express any level of support for any program—for example, choosing to support two programs with full support. Consider using an electronic tool to poll (e.g., Poll Everywhere , Survey Monkey, Google Forms, etc.).

Facilitator polls the group, and members individually display their level of support. Facilitator posts results for each program choice on a chart or electronically.

If no program has Level 3 support, identify the program that has the most Level 1 support and congratulate the group on having reached consensus.
