Hold your first Core Team meeting.

Read our Infosheet titled Communication Skills to Assist in Effective Facilitation. Set a positive atmosphere for this meeting. It is important everyone assumes positive intent, so the conversation can flow freely. This will be a chance for your Core Team members to understand each other’s skills and strengths, but also areas of focus for the entire school.
