I would suggest that you emphasize the importance of modeling the roles for students and teachers taking time to really teach these as well the procedures when they introduce literature circles. Teachers often make the mistake of jumping into these without teaching these procedures and roles then are disappointed when their literature circles aren't as effective as they would want them to be.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the best way to deliver this information, what should be on the agenda, or the depth to take this. The teachers have varying levels of experience. I want to have them get as much out of this as possible, in a short period of time. Thoughts/suggestions from anyone that has presented this type of workshop would be appreciated.
