Editor's Notes
Greet each lead teacher as they arrive, providing each person with a Dance Card (see Slide 3 for sample). The front of the card is labeled with a type of dance (tango, waltz, mambo, etc.) to direct them to a table labeled with the same dance. In addition, ask each person to find dance partners to fill in their card. Music plays as background while people settle. 8:30 – 8:35 Welcome Address – Theme begun from previous meeting is continued
Agenda
Draw participants attention to the dance cards to ensure all have partners for the activities. Dance #2 has been arranged by Learning Team.
8:35 – 8:50 Table share Ch. 4 – each person at the table (of 6) share take-away from book (2 minutes each).
Transition – mindset and possibilities. Looking at the opportunities not the barriers. Start building the idea of partnership.
