The first class of ESDA 535- Organization of the Community Relations Program
was an interesting and informative one. The point made that every meeting should be
considered "your meeting" resonated with me. I attend many meetings during the
course of my workweek and it's easy to lose focus at times. However, upon reflection, I
agree that advance preparation would ensure that one would be an active participant in
a meeting because of ones preparedness.
On a side note, I would like to add that the method Prof. Monheit used to
determine which classes to drop was fascinating. This method empowered the
students while maintaining class decorum. I hope to incorporate this technique in my
role as a school leader.
