Materials for Student Leaders and Moderators
This page and
the links below serve as the start of a
database of important resources for student
leaders and moderators. If you have other
materials to add that other schools would
benefit from, please send us an email. We will
constantly be looking to adding valuable
resources to this site!

Resources for Use in Dialogue Groups - Content for moderators to bring into the dialogue room. Moderators looking for a first meeting guide, prompts and topic starters, start here.
Issue Sheets (.pdf)
These sheets are provided as a preparation tool for moderators leading topics commonly discussed within Sustained Dialogue. We recommend pairing these with supplemental research and we also recommend ensuring the suggested homework and activities fit your group's makeup and specific dynamics. We hope that you'll keep notes on how your conversations using these sheets went and provide feedback to us on how these sheets can be improved. These sheets are not comprehensive. If you'd like to create your own issue sheets to aid other moderators, please contact us!
