Features of the Agenda Template

Running Agenda: Teams can utilize one running agenda to track the progress of the work they do as a team. Using the Table of Contents, one can jump to a certain date within the running agenda document. To get another, copy the text and tables and paste them at the top of the agenda.

Team Norms: Teams should create their own norms that they will use during the meeting. These norms will help streamline the meeting process, ensuring that time is used efficiently and the focus remains on the agenda items.

Meeting Participants: Agendas allow participants to prepare in advance, leading to more informed discussions and better decision-making. When teachers come prepared, they can contribute more effectively to the meeting.

Focused Topics: Agendas provide a clear outline of what needs to be discussed, ensuring that all participants are aware of the meeting's objectives. This prevents meetings from veering off-topic and helps in maintaining a clear focus on important issues. 

Discussion Notes: This template allows for discussion notes to be documented during the meeting. Participants can refer back to the agenda at any time to see what items were discussed, even if they were absent.  

Results: Agendas help in assigning responsibilities and setting clear action items. This enhances accountability and ensures that follow-up actions are taken.
