Table Topics


Conversation: Starter to ReThink Education

Laptop

We would love for the in-person facilitator to have a laptop with them so they can also be at the online table with the online facilitator. Since many of the online coordinators are from locations that have flaky infrastructure of electricity and Internet, the in-person facilitator may need to help online in case something goes wrong. We also will have an extra person at the online table if we can, who is a bit familiar with the topic, so they can help, in case problems happen. But this is a "nice to have" not a must.

First Facilitated Conversation

Conversation Facilitator ask one at time (don't do all questions at once, we want to go around quickly for each one)

  1. Who are you? and...
  2. What is one thing you want us to know about you? (The first 2 questions are asked at one time, since the first answer is short)
  3. How do you know Jacob?
  4. What is the most valuable thing you learned in school, college, or training?
  5. What was the most useless thing you learned in school, college, or training?
  6. What is the most valuable thing you learned outside of formal education?
  7. If there was one thing you could have everyone in the world learn, what would it be?
