If you’re a school administrator, you probably spend more time than you would like in meetings of all kinds. In this episode Jeff Cimmerer and I talk about all things meetings - things that bug us, strategies to improve their effectiveness, and ways to avoid scheduling them in the first place. It is possible to reduce the number of meetings you attend and make the ones you have to have more effective. We rant and rave a little bit, but end up providing some pretty solid tips and advice.
