THE PERFECT MEETING
Andrea DiBartolomeo
EEX 6524
BEFORE THE MEETING BEGINS Decide – “Do we really need to have this meeting?”
(Dettmer, Knackendoffel, &Thurston, 2013, p. 162) Reasons to call a meeting:
Fulfilling legal obligations (such as an IEP) Brainstorming to generate ideas Problem-solving with multiple people in various roles
to explore options Reconciling conflicting views among school, students,
and home Providing a forum for all to be heard Building a team to make and implement educational
decisions
(Dettmer et al., 2013, p. 162
BEFORE THE MEETING BEGINS Use a planning checklist to
prepare for the meeting Request attendance from
those who can contribute to the topic at hand Stick to the rule “concerning
meetings that the more who are involved, the shorter it should be” (Dettmer et al., 2013, p. 162).
