Blunt Educator: The first five minutes of your next faculty meeting @blunteducator

1. The First Five Minutes of
Your Next Faculty Meeting
Make sure your principal sees this…

2. Principals, put down the
checklist of reminders.
This is how you need to start
your next faculty meeting…

3. You have some awesome teachers
in your building, so start the
meeting by sharing something
great you saw one of them doing
in class.

4. Hopefully, you have a vision for
your school, so connect what you
saw that awesome teacher doing to
the overarching vision.

5. Now you have a personal
anecdote that connects to the
larger context of your
school’s vision and gives it
a tangible presence.

6. Use the next few slides to
facilitate your next faculty
meeting…
Less work for you, right?

7. Something awesome I saw
today in our school…
The Anecdote
(Remove me
before you
present to faculty)

8. Here’s what made
that so effective…
The Connection
(Remove me, too)

9. And here’s how that connects
to our mission as educators…
The Sticking Point
(You know
what to do)

10. Faculty meetings should be
about focusing attention,
highlighting successes, and
professional growth.
Wasn’t that more effective than
telling people to make sure their
wasn’t any gum stuck to the
bottom of desks?
