__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__ Debriefing This script is used to allow the modeling team to share initial impressions of the GMB session, debrief, and provide support to team members for improving GMB practice immediately after a GMB session. Status Best practices Primary nature of group task Evaluation Time Preparation time: 0 minutes Time required during session: 45 minutes Follow-up time: 0 minutes Materials None Inputs Detailed agenda of the session Outputs None Roles Debriefer who is skilled at facilitating the group process, who is culturally sensitive, and who is generally only observing the modeling exercise Steps The debriefer assembles the modeling team and announces the start of the debriefing session. The debriefer reviews the process the team will use to conduct the review. The activity begins with a check-in to see how people are doing. This is important regardless of whether the session went well or badly. Ask the following questions: How are you feeling about how this GMB session went? Overall, did we accomplish what the session was designed to do? What went well during this session? Were there any rough parts for you? What did you learn from this session? How could the session have been improved? Evaluation Criteria The script should result in a stronger, more cohesive team after the debrief and a list of ways to improve the process Authors Amanda Lavallee, Timothy Hower, and Peter Hovmand, 2010 History Created in 2010 in preparation for a GMB workshop with the Buder Center at the Brown School of Social Work, Washington University.
