Facilitating Case Discussion: Being a “reflective”
practitioner of Case Method
After each session, it is important for the facilitator to spend
time reflecting on the session. Which questions worked for you?
How well did they work for you? Did they accomplish the intended
purpose in the discussion? If you identified a “teaching buddy,”
be sure to follow up with him/her about any specific skills you
asked them to observe. It might be helpful to re-read this as part
of your systematic reflection on what worked and did not work for
you during this session. Consider what you will change the next
time you use this or another case.
