Being Peace: Seminar Coaching

Starter 10

1. What is the purpose of coaching a text before seminar?
2. What could you do individually to make coaching more effective for you AND for the other people in your group?  Be specific!
3. What does an "A" student do in coaching?  What do they look and sound like?

Coaching Rubric Creation

1. Each group creates a rubric
2. Rubric should have 3-5 categories for assessment, with a brief description of what a good performance in that category looks like
3. Share rubric categories, combine into final class rubric
4. I will use these rubrics to assess you during coaching for the next few weeks

Being Peace Coaching

Go through text page by page, doing the following steps for each page:

1. Summarize the main idea of that page
2. Answer questions/address confusions
3. Make connections to other texts/topics
4. At end, choose best 3 discussion questions from group, give to Lori on an index card

Being Peace Seminar Prewrite

2. Page 91: “Human life is more precious than any ideology or doctrine.”  A/D?  Why?
3. There are 14 Mindfulness Trainings.  Of those 14:
