Activity Wheel Details 




Because districts vary so widely in number of clients served, the time frames for sessions can be affected by how quickly moderators are able to set up breakout rooms. For learning purposes we attempt to give access to smaller group instruction earlier than later. The times below attempt to express that variation. Larger district meetings are taking the full morning hour. Same is true for afternoon sessions. 
  • District Wide Meeting 9-9:45 or 10 am depending on district
    • 9-9:10 moderator lets people in and assigns people to breakout rooms -- Greetings and Check Ins.
    • 9:10-9:20 Introduce the day, date, time, weather, Today in History
    • 9:20-9:35 Current Events - regional, national, world
    • 9:35-9:40 Bio break/Dance/Music
    • 9:40-9:45 Intro Theme of the Day -- Go to BREAKOUT Rooms
  • Breakout Room Sessions 9:45 or 10-11 am depending on district
    • Call attention to the theme of the day and check awareness
    • Review technology tolerance Strategies
    1. Technology just goes out sometimes.
    2. We stay calm and carry on
    3. Waiting patiently or trying again
    4. Asking for help
    • Check-in: Each person reports on themselves
    • Show and Share:  people who wish to can share something they want to show everyone

    Presenters work in a pattern, switching off. Keep focus on one subject for no more than 10 minutes. Then offer a change in activity/focus.

    1. Gain attention for the subject/idea

    2. Say what we will learn (objective)

    3. Show the resource and delivers the content

    4. Prompt individuals for response/action and give feedback

    5. Remind everyone what was just learned

    6. Open group feedback and review learning

    7. Prompt learners to say what they learned

    8. Ask learners for other contexts where learning can apply 


    Check with participants for what afternoon activities they want to explore. Note for assignment to breakouts in the afternoon.
