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

New Institutes: 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 is covered:
- Classroom prep for the masterclass
- Try out an ATLAS or CMS masterclass measurement
- Walk-through of masterclass logistics
- Masterclass Library
- Zoom test
- Q&A
This generally takes 3-6 hours, though it can be trimmed or extended depending on needed. If you are doing a CMS or ATLAS Data Workshop in the masterclass orientation period, it counts as an orientation. If you had one previous to this, you only need an orientation update (below).

Experienced Institutes: Orientation Updates
An orientation update is to bring teachers and mentors up to speed on the latest in masterclass measurements and procedures. As orientation updates are done online, they also serve as Zoom tests. Orientation updates take 1-2 hours.
