8 Closing Session
After the Coming Back Together session, participants went their separate ways to continue working on, and implementing, their projects, with the knowledge that the group would reconvene in November to share what was learned. This meeting was held synchronously over Zoom. While originally planned for each participant to talk through their project, those presentations were moved to discussion boards in Canvas. This allowed for the leaders to spend one last time with their tracks as well as providing one last opportunity to gather feedback synchronously from participants.
A message was sent to participants in October to prepare them for this event
We have a pre-meeting activity for you to complete by 11/13/23. If we had everyone report out on their projects, we would quickly consume the whole day. So, we’re envisioning part of the day being devoted to an asynchronous gallery walk via discussion board on Canvas. Before 11/13 we would like you to create and post some kind of multimodal summary of the outcome of your project or plan that you began in June. Your product might be a poster, an infographic, a slide deck, or anything else you can imagine! We’re hoping you’ll include both written text and visual components. Please be sure to include anything tangible you’ve created as a result of this process such as a lesson plan or handout.
After you’ve made your summary, we’d like you to post the link and include a reflection (approximately 500 words) that aligns with the following prompt(s):
- What was your plan and how did it go?
- How was your plan received by your stakeholders?
- What are your points of pride? Where did you see the most growth in how you now approach instruction?
- What do you still need help with? What were your stumbling blocks? What didn’t go as well as you had hoped?

We have some activities planned for the morning, but the afternoon will be dedicated to viewing each other’s summaries and providing feedback or ideas.
