Catholic Bible Institute - Group Moderators
In order
to improve the sense of hospitality at our sessions, the quality of
the group discussions, and the flow of information to all the
participants, a "moderator" for each group will be
helpful.
The group
members will chose their own moderator, one for each semester
(Jan-May, Sept-Dec).
Role of the
Moderator:
- Compile and share
phone/email contact information among your group's
members.
- Coordinate things if
your group is assigned for prayer, sacred space, or
refreshments.
- Come a few minutes
early, so you can help welcome the members of your
group.
- Record the attendance
of your group members on the large envelope.
- Moderate the small
group discussions (i.e., see that everyone has a chance to speak,
and that no one, including yourself, dominates or monopolizes the
discussion).
- As needed, meet
briefly with the CBI team (at the beginning of lunch?) and/or with
the CBI team member who grades your group's homework
papers.
- Help the CBI team
make sure all members of your group understand the instructions for
written assignments, especially anyone who was absent at some
time.
- Make sure your group
table is clean at the end of each session (return table envelopes,
homework folders, and any reusable flyers; throw away any
trash).
- After each session,
contact any group members who were absent to see if they're OK and
to give them any important information.
- If you will be absent
from any session, contact another group member in advance to ask
him or her to act as the moderator for that month.
