Then: Independent Play/Exploration (Prep for Day #2):

YOUR TASK

( YOU WILL HAVE AT LEAST 30 MINUTES TO PREP IN REAL TIME IN THE MORNING TOO)

Create a short in person & real time experience for other teachers. Pose a question, a problem to solve, an activity to explore, student work to examine...the possibilities are endless.

Think of how the short moment you are creating is something unique to your interests, your personality, and your experiences.
What do you want to work on? (i.e. building trust, slide design, presenting, etc.) - FOCUS ON THAT so that you can practice and get constructive feedback.
Get out of your comfort zone and step in it.

WHAT TO EXPECT

It will be for a small group and is an opportunity to be yourself, share something you love, and practice, practice, practice what it means to inhabit that identity and form of the facilitator you are/would like to become. If not now, when?...
