Before Meeting –
E-mail Team members 2-3 days before with a meeting reminder:
- Remind them to read a bit in The Cool Block book (private link provided by
your program manager): The Introduction; optionally, Part 1; and the Pro-
gram Architecture section in Part 2.
- Ask them to take the very brief online pre-program Cool Block Assessment-
Survey to refer to at the meeting. This assessment will help your team mem-
bers think about the needs and opportunities on your block, in preparation
for creating a Team Purpose (see step 3 below). NOTE: This assessment will
be taken both before and after the program, and its results will be analyzed
in collaboration with our research partners.
- Ask them to bring their calendar (for step 7 below)
- Collect your team’s supply of physical books to provide at the meeting to
those who need them
