Thank you for your workshop sessions, I value what I am learning from you and have implemented aspects you shared and activities in my first meeting that I facilitated today.
I resisted the teams’ requests to jump in and work and plan for the arrival of students. We had a value-based meeting so I started setting the tone for the culture that I want us to have and live as a PS English department.
The editable version of the agenda really helped me. My team already said agendas need to be clear and timely and the purpose stated so I think that your template will work well!
