In middle sessions, which practice is encouraged?

• A. Pursuing goals intensely.
• B. Reinforce each member's importance.
• C. Review ground rules and guidelines.
• D. Review previous session events, activities, and accomplishments; Focus on current topic; Review session's activities and insights.

Answer: (D)

In middle sessions, the focus is on tying together what happened before with what is being learned now. By reviewing prior session events and activities and centering on the current topic, the group can see progress, connect experiences to current learning, and deepen insights. This continuity helps members understand how past discussions inform present understanding and guides next steps. Ground rules are usually set early, and pressing for goals too intensely can feel overwhelming at this stage, while simply revisiting norms doesn’t advance learning in the moment. So, reviewing previous sessions, keeping the current topic in view, and reflecting on what the group did and learned is the most effective practice in this phase.
