Our school has adopted the approach to have a 5 minute huddle every morning to bring everyone up to speed on plans for the day. It starts off with a quick review of the goals and objectives of the last meeting. Plans are laid out for the present day then everyone is invited to participate and say what unique problems or challenges they have that faced them that day by recruiting help or advice or coming up with innovative ways to meet the challenges. Also, any new Administrative announcements or anything affecting the school in general. For example, school policies or updates or changes will be shared at that time. The goal is to maintain a disciplined 5 minute meeting so that it becomes part of the culture of the school and it doesn't cut into curriculum time. On many occasions the Principal joins in as part of the discussion to emphasize the Team Approach. We have found this method to be very effective and a form of pro-active communication.
