🛠️ Facilitation Tools & Resources

To ensure active engagement, the following resources and strategies will be used:

Materials for Each Session

📊 Tracking Engagement & Participation

To measure active participation and consistent involvement, we will track the following:

• Attendance Records: Daily tracking to ensure high attendance rates and identify patterns of non-participation.
• Engagement Surveys: Weekly or bi-weekly surveys to assess participant satisfaction, self-reported engagement, and areas of improvement.
• Observation Notes: Facilitators will take notes on each participant’s involvement during activities and discussions, identifying those who may need additional encouragement or support.
• Reflection Journals: Monitor the quality and frequency of participant reflections, looking for depth and engagement in their self-assessments.
