Questions for Princeton SD

During our Mod Workshop we came up with lots of "big questions" (and some "smaller" questions as well) about our program. I'll be working them into core group materials, but here's the list in case you want to mull them over with your co-mod, your group, your friends, or in your head. More to come after this as well.

-How do we get students to the table who don't notice any problems on campus or don't particularly care?

-Are we adjusting our moderating to what our group wants to talk about? How do we know what they want to talk about? Do their desired topics surprise us at all?

-How well are we communicating with our co-mod? What does ideal communication with a co-mod look like?

-How can we utilize past action projects now? Can we create a list of past action projects that have come out of Princeton SD? How would that be valuable, or would it be?

-How should we do PR for Sustained Dialogue? What kind of image do we want to project? Is it welcoming, or controversial, or challenging, or urgent, or friendly, or none of those things?

-How can we use the information contained in the moderator manual to keep us on track during dialogues? Do we put it in front of us at dialogue, or do we quiz each other on it at co-mod meetings? How can we take advantage of all of these dialogue resources?

-How transparent about the SD method should we be with our groups? What do we have to gain or lose by being transparent?
