Tips for Debriefing
Observe- Take notice of who is participating and how. Listen
to the ideas being heard as well as those not being heard. Questions later can
come from direct quotes you hear during the activity. Watch the activity unfold
and resolve. Try to read how people are feeling and reacting to others.
Ask questions to get the conversation moving after the activity
or do mini debriefing during to get the activity rolling.
Primary questions can be closed ended. Often answered with
information you have already given the group. Then start using open ended
questions to grow the conversation.
o What was the
task I asked you to complete?
o How did you
start?
o Who’s idea
was it to try the path you all decided on?
o What was
most successful for your group?
o Did anyone
have an idea they didn’t feel was heard?
o If you could
tell another group how to most efficiently and effectively complete the task
what would you share with them?
o How did it
make you feel when _______________?
o If given
another chance at this task what could you do differently?
It is a good idea to keep a record for yourself of
debriefing- It is helpful to have something to write in when you are observing
so you can bring points out later and recall direct quotes easily. It also
helps to have a record of who shares and how they share so you can encourage
participation in different ways.
