Roundtables LearningsThings to keep in mind if you want to spread or scale
• Learning from Colleagues: Participants enjoyed the opportunity to learn from others in the room, their projects and gain new ideas.
• Networking: Participants enjoyed meeting so many colleagues and connecting with them in person.
• Materials/Resources: Self-assessment checklists and planning forms, pre-reading, PASE’s Youth Outcomes Inventory, and other documents were helpful. Some wanted more tools and sample materials (curricula, lesson plans, budgets, and business plans).
• Presentations: Participants appreciated hearing from presenters who had undertaken spread/scale projects at their organizations. Some wanted more detail and more opportunities to discuss the issues raised.
• Process/Structure: Participants liked the variety of activities (presentations, large and small group discussions, individual and cohort planning). Some wanted more opportunities for small group discussions and individual work.
