Participants were divided into small groups, which were reconfigured for discussion on each of the three topics, so that everyone had the opportunity to work with many different participants during the meeting. Small groups are discussing the topic and recording their discussions on chart paper to share with the large group. Every small group discussed the same topic at the same time. In this format small groups circulated around the room to read the chart paper notes posted on the wall and hear a synopsis of the discussion from a participant in that small group. Eileen Glisan enter discussion notes into a laptop computer from their group s discussion on teacher development.
Participants gather for a group photo on the last day.
