Rationale Behind Assigning Steps 1 - 7…

A & B #1. Registration, etc. - divide the 5 tasks at the beginning among both. B makes sure the Problems and Obstacles sheet is completed and picked up - and tallied! All tasks in #1 would be very difficult for just one person. There is a lot going on.
   
A #2. The Job Interview Role Play - is a major piece and can stand alone. B has time to review his/her upcoming steps and begin to tally Problems and Obstacles sheets.
   
B #3. 9-Dots - it is an awkward transition from the job interview to a lecture mode, but B can be prepared to take over while A removes chairs from up front, etc.
   
B #4. Orientation - steps 3 and 4 don't necessarily "cluster" but certainly can because the lesson from the 9-dots leads naturally to the orientation - explaining why we are stuck within the 9-dots about our own potential and strengths. This lecture takes quite some preparation so is a major piece also. It could be done by A with a 9-Dots "breather", but then A gets the 2 most difficult steps in this section. While B is speaking, A has time to review for steps 5 & 6.
   
A (B help) #5. Early GE - B can help pass out crayons and paper while A continues the directions. This eases the flow of this part. (Someone remembered the crayons, right?!)
   
A #6. Pair on 2 - #5 and #6 cluster together, they are both about identifying Good Experiences so it makes sense to have the same person for "continuity". B completes tally of Problems and Obstacle sheets and prepares for #7.
   
B #7. Review Results of Problems and Obstacles and Pre-work - B collected and tallied the Problems and Obstacles sheets so does this step. B will collect pre-work and review [with A if desired] to pick a "demo". Since B is dealing with the Pre-work, they keep continuity by doing the Demonstration - Step #9 (another "major" piece). And so on …..
   
  This arrangement incorporates the 5 factors described above. The back and forth facilitation between A and B gets both facilitators involved and up front quickly, keeps continuity among connected steps, divides the work load, allows the other person a "breather" for time to do little review and preparation, and keeps the audience more engaged with a variety of presenting styles. We think considering these factors in selecting the steps for each facilitator will give the best results in your workshop. Good luck!
