COMMON GROUND WORKSHOP
Evaluation Questions for Facilitators
Instructions
We have scheduled a de-briefing session at the close of the workshop that we ask you to attend.
This is an opportunity for us to give one another the benefit of our views about how the
experience went for both facilitators and participants. The following are some questions we
would like you to bear in mind for that session. However, we want all your feedback whether
covered by these questions or not. If there is any information you would feel more comfortable
providing anonymously or in writing, you may do that on the back of this sheet or on another
sheet of paper.
1) Did you feel adequately trained/prepared for your facilitator role? Do you have any
suggestions for how the facilitator training session and/or materials might be improved?
2) If you worked with another facilitator, how smoothly did the co-facilitation work? What was
helpful about working with another facilitator? What was difficult?
3) How did the small group dialogues go?
• Did you get stuck? If so, where?
• Would further guidance have helped you deal with these moments?
• Were any areas of the process unclear or difficult for participants?
• Is there a different question you think participants would have liked to address?
• In your view did the group have sufficient opportunity to develop the trust level
needed for an open discussion?
4) How was the timing of the day? Did your small groups have enough time together? Do you
think the time in the large group was well spent?
5) Do you have any other comments/suggestions about the large group sessions (including the
opening and closing)?
6) How do you feel about the use of the opinion survey?
7) Do you have any other feedback or suggestions about the process?
Would you like to facilitate groups at future workshops/meetings?
