The complete guide to getting the most out of every gathering of educators!
Prevent meetings from descending into aimless rambling or counterproductive conflicts that end up wasting everybody's valuable time. This resource gives you a playbook to help anyone confidently lead group discussions so that problems get solved, not created. The authors, both veteran educators and experts in group dynamics, detail:
- How to prepare yourself to facilitate the discussion and keep it on task
- Best practices for squashing conflict without wounding pride
- Methods for dealing with “interrupters,” “subject-changers,” disputes, personal attacks, and other time-waster events
