Our group is working really well with lots of group discussion and partner work. I am finding that during whole group discussion that they are pretty quiet and I hope that this will change as we go along. We are up to day three today and I am trying to give participants a little more time to work on their units as I have found that we have been able to keep to time pretty well this time. I have used the cool timer a lot and I think that this has helped to keep us to time very effectively. The venue is fantastic and the technicians have been very helpful. Over the weekend I looked at each of the units and gave some written feedback and suggestions. I do have some concerns about the progress of some of our participants because they are training to be Master Trainers and therefore need to have a pretty good handle on the concepts that we are learning. I plan to try to work pretty intensively today to try to make sure that they are up to speed.
