Facilitator Feedback “In the end, I asked them if they had
learned anything new. They said that a lot of the CHOICES material was covered in high school classes, but they did learn: how to recognize alcohol poisoning how quickly alcohol gets in the bloodstream how long it takes to leave the 24/7 Safe Haven rule at Health Services”

FACILITATOR FEEDBACK Well I survived! It was a great experience. My
first group was barely awake and except for 3 were very reluctant to talk. My second group was much different. They were very outgoing and a little too honest for comfort! Their Orientation Leader was probably more involved that she should have been but it was very helpful.

FACILITATOR FEEDBACK
I wish I had a better feeling about my performance yesterday. The second session was a bit better than the first. About half the group showed up late to the first session. In both groups but especially the first, only 2 or 3 where slightly vocal. Some would have rather died then lift the pencil or read the booklet. Tough crowd. I wish I had observed a group or been able to co-facilitate with another staff person. I don’t think everyone showed up to Choices. In the second group one of the freshmen was a member of my Brownie troop several years ago. I don’t think that was a problem for her but I can’t be sure.
