Planning and Goal Setting Meetings

Planning or goal-setting

Class meetings can be a time to discuss plans and goals - for a day, a project, a curriculum unit. Cooperative learning or team projects can be created, monitored and evaluated during a series of class meetings.

Meetings can focus on questions like "What do we need to do in order for this project or activity to go well for us?" or "How well are we working together? How do we make it better?"

Class meetings can be used to discuss and determine classroom activities for achieving group goals or student recognition, such as field trips or class parties.
