Your Role as Host

Designate a "logistics coordinator" 

It is important for Pacific Crest to have one person from the host school who is responsible for the setup and logistics before a Teaching Institute as well helping with coordination during the Institute.

Arrange for a suitable meeting room

The main criterion for a meeting room is that it be set up with tables and chairs rather student desks. Other criteria to consider are that the room is large enough so that tables can be spaced reasonable far apart, and that the "feel" of the room is comfortable and light.

Arrange for the necessary equipment

Equipment needs include: blackboard and chalk, or white boards and markers, overhead projector and screen, computer projection system, and access to photocopying. 

Optional equipment: a computer (we bring a laptop), a flip chart and markers.

Organize lunch and refreshment breaks

Refreshments include morning and afternoon drinks; coffee and juice in the morning, and soft drinks and possibly coffee in the afternoon. Lunches should be organized so that they are conveniently located and can be served quickly.
