# Community learning circle survey

Improve ongoing small-group discussion.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

## 1. Which prompt supported useful discussion?

Answer: ____________________

## 2. What preparation was missing?

Answer: ____________________

## 3. What change would improve the next meeting?

Answer: ____________________

## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Identify the discussion prompt that helped members explore the reading or task, then preserve its useful structure. A helpful discussion is separate from assessed learning.
2. Missing preparation reveals what members needed to contribute to a small-group discussion. Provide the relevant reading, prompt or expectation before the next meeting rather than assuming silence means disinterest.
3. Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: provide an optional short preparation brief.

Interpretation caution: Do not treat participation as assessed learning.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Participants need a reading summary before discussion.

Action to test: Provide an optional short preparation brief.

Follow-up: After trying the change, repeat “Which prompt supported useful discussion?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: participants need a reading summary before discussion. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
