Suggestions for Conducting Efficient Meetings
1. Adhere to a meeting agenda:
• Define the problem
• Review relevant data
• Hypothesize why problem is occurring
• Brainstorm possible interventions/ strategies
• Select most appropriate interventions/strategies
• Develop plan
• Define implementation
• Schedule review meeting to evaluate
2. Consider using a case facilitator to assist with the meeting process. Role of case
facilitator:
• Interview teacher or referring source prior to Child Study Committee meeting.
• Review background information and problem.
• Present the information to the Child Study Committee and assist with
implementation of interventions.
3. When brainstorming, consider creating a visual map. The goal and the word “data”
can be written on a piece of paper or white board and all team members have the
opportunity to add possible interventions to address the goals and ideas about how
data should be collected. This is a non-verbal activity that allows several people to
add ideas at one time and discourages that pitfall of evaluating ideas prior to all
ideas being collected.
