Activating and Engaging
The activating and engaging component of the meeting was Looking Back...Looking Ahead (Lipton & Wellman, 2011) activity about communication. It was a great springboard for our conversation. Exploring and Discovering Using a variety of articles about communication, a jigsaw structure was used to explore and discover information about best practices in school communication. Organizing and Integrating The information from the articles were used to develop draft communication plans recommendations. Next Steps Before the meeting adjourned, next steps were identified. I'm excited to see the results of this meeting and its impact on their school. The PowerPoint used during this session is located below on this page.
