Let the class guide the teaching
- Solicit class participation immediately: Before we started the class, we asked each of the class participants what they wanted to learn. It helped guide the conversation so we could refer back to their questions and discuss specific examples.
- Make sure the conversation is about the students’ learning and not the presenter’s experience: The feedback received after the class is that people appreciated having their questions answered during the presentation.

- Acknowledge when the class will end: When you only have 15-20 minutes left in the class, let everyone know so that you can prioritize the content that they want to discuss. It’s best to cover what the group wants to discuss and not rush through material to reach the end.
