K–12Team leaders
Before adding a meeting to the calendar, answer these five prompts.
The canvas
- Purpose: What must be different by the end of this time?
- People: Whose perspective or authority is essential?
- Preparation: What can participants read, notice, or decide beforehand?
- Process: What conversation or activity will produce the outcome?
- Product: What decision, draft, list, or next step will leave the room?
If the purpose can be met through a clear update or an individual decision, choose that path instead.
Facilitation note
Place the purpose and intended product at the top of the agenda. End by naming the owner and timing of every next step.
