Institute – Group Moderators for 2003
In order to improve the sense
of hospitality at our sessions, the quality of the group discussions, and
the
flow of information to all the participants,
a “moderator” for each group will be helpful.
The group members will chose their own moderator, one for each semester
(Jan-May, Sept-Dec).
Role of the Moderator:
- Compile and share phone/email
contact information among your group’s
members.
- Coordinate things if your group is assigned for prayer, sacred space,
or refreshments.
- Come a few minutes early, so you can help welcome the members of your
group.
- Record the attendance of your group members on the large envelope.
- Moderate the small group discussions (i.e., see that everyone has a chance
to speak, and that no one, including yourself, dominates or monopolizes
the discussion).
- As needed, meet briefly with
the CBI team (at the beginning of lunch?) and/or with the CBI team member
who grades your group’s homework papers.
- Help the CBI team make sure all members of your group understand the instructions
for written assignments, especially anyone who was absent at some time.
- Make sure your group table is clean at the end of each session (return
table envelopes, homework folders, and any reusable flyers; throw away any
trash).
- After each session, contact
any group members who were absent to see if they’re OK and to give
them any important information.
- If you will be absent from any session, contact another group member in
advance to ask him or her to act as the moderator for that month.
