Here are 3 options for setting up the ideal environment for live teacher training sessions! Feel free to use what works best for you.
Large Group
All teachers in one room
This option is great for creating a collaborative space where you as a school leader would be able to get a pulse on the flow of the training and also co-facilitate with the presenter on site.
Things you'll need:
A large screen to provide clear content
Sufficient audio to provide clear sound
Proper laptop placement so that the presenter can interact with your staff
Teacher Pods
Teachers grouped in classrooms by grade level or subject area
This set-up provides good flexibility as teachers are with their colleagues in the comfort of their classrooms. More specific collaboration can happen here as teachers can discuss according to their grade or subject area. As a school leader you would co-facilitate from your office or by joining one of the teacher pods.
Things you'll need:
A large screen in each classroom
A teacher in each pod responsible for handling the chat and muting/unmuting
Proper laptop placement so that the presenter can easily interact with teachers
Individual
Teachers join the training individually at school or at home
This is option provides great flexibility and allows teachers to have more individualized attention from the presenter. This does in turn limit the collaboration they are able to experience with their team or with school leaders during the training.
