Review Guidelines for the Group Discussion

During the group interactions, the facilitator should remember the following issues:

• Control the pace and keep on schedule. Keep the session focused. Some issues could be put in the "parking lot" and discussed if there is time at the end.
• Limit unnecessary or excessive discussion while keeping the tone friendly.
• Encourage everyone to participate. Examples: Ask individual questions or ask for an opinion. Go "around the table" to hear from everyone.
• At the end of each discussion point, quickly summarize and lead the group towards a consensus.
