Masterclass orientations help to guide mentors in preparing their teams, including teachers.

Pre-orientation Considerations

There are a few things that need to be done in order to prepare for a successful data measurement experience for students:

• Ensure that students will have computers with internet access. One computer per two students is recommended for the best experience.
• As an instructor, participate in an online orientation for the measurement (e. g. CMS, ATLAS, MINERvA, NOvA, ...).
• Practice the measurement yourself using the practice tools available on the page for your masterclass.
• Review slides from the measurement pages, and prepare your own introduction for the students to set the tone for the day.
• Review the rest of this page
• If you will be doing a video conference, prepare and test your Zoom connection.
   

Masterclass Orientation

A masterclass orientation can be done online via Zoom or in person with a visit from a QuarkNet staff member or fellow. It is intended for teachers and mentors. Here is what can be covered:

• Classroom prep for the masterclass
• Try out a your masterclass measurement
• Walk-through of masterclass logistics
• Masterclass Library
• Zoom test
• Q&A

Orientations can come in multiple flavors with different durations and organizational schemes. They can range from short updates or introductions to full-day Masterclass Orientation Workshops. Most orientations will be done remotely with a QuarkNet staff member or fellow. Orientation Workshops can be remote or in-person.
