Instructions  \n• In this activity, students will evaluate how the student leadership meetings currently operate.  \nBegin by saying:  \n‘Let’s have a think about how our student leadership meetings run and see if there are things we can improve to be more efficient.  \n• Give students ‘Running successful meetings’ handout.  \n• Read aloud the statements from column one and after each statement, have participants show‘thumbs up’ for ‘I agree’ or ‘thumbs down’ for ‘I don’t agree’. Keep an approximate tally of the responses – not a precise count but the general consensus.  \nOption: students can move between two locations in the room to demonstrate their response to questions. This can help show the group’s response and also acts as an energiser.  \n• Repeat the same process using the statements in the second column. If using movement for the students to illustrate a response, you might like to change the action for example, ‘stand up’(I agree) or ‘sit down’(I disagree) .  \n[education.nsw.gov.au](education.nsw.gov.au)  \n• Have a group discussion about the results: highlight statements that the majority of the group agreed or disagreed and invite students to comment and offer an explanation for this decision.  \n• Create a list of the key things students feel should happen during meetings, based on the team’s response to the statements, and how they might action each. For example, if everyone agreed that meetings should run to a set time, the team could decide to set a time limit for each meeting agenda item.  \nThe final list could be used to plan actions for an upcoming meeting, or written into a guide for student leaders to refer to.  \nActivity 2: Global café Instructions  \nThis activity builds on the team’s review of existing meeting practices, and looks at the different‘roles’ that might be needed to facilitate meetings.  \n• Divide the students into 4 groups and give each table one of these questions:  \no What do we currently have in our Student Leadership team?  \nPrompt: think about positions, people, practices  \no What do we need to include to our meetings?  \nPrompt: refer back to activity one and things the group agrees were needed  \no What roles do we need in our Student Leadership team?  \nPrompt: these could be formal roles, or relate to tasks team members complete  \no How will we know when things are working well?  \nPrompt: what changes will be seen? How will people feel?  \n• Ask each group to democratically elect a recorder (for example, each person votes for the person they think will be best for the task) .  \n• Groups will spend 3-5 minutes discussing the question at their table. The recorder will note the responses from the group.  \n• When asked, groups move to the next table; the recorder stays at the table ready for the next group to arrive. They provide a summary of the previous group’s responses and then continue to add notes from the next group’s discussion.  \n• Once all groups have visited 4 tables, recorders give feedback to whole group.  \nStudents have the opportunity to clarify any comments or add further information. The facilitator  \nworks with the group to highlight the top three responses for each question. For example, o What do we currently have in our Student Leadership team?  \n[education.nsw.gov.au](education.nsw.gov.au)  \n􀂃 representatives from each year group; a teacher coordinator; a vision statement  \no What do we need to include to our meetings?  \n􀂃 a meeting agenda; set time for discussion; r","cbCaibJaRloDYm5Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibJaRloDYm5Q","pdf",196531,"English","# Overview\n## Learning intentions\n## Resources\n# Activity 1: Who are we and who do we want to be?\n# Activity 2: Global café\n# Activity 3: Top tips for running successful meetings\n## Before meetings\n## During Meetings\n# Debriefing questions\n# Concluding comments","[{\"question\":\"How do Activity 1 students evaluate existing meeting practices?\",\"answer\":\"Students use statements from the handout and indicate agreement or disagreement with thumbs up or thumbs down.
