Classroom meetings

Classroom meetings are a great habit to develop. They provide an opportunity for students to engage in important conversations. Although I have used classroom meetings, I have never developed a formal stategy for how to run them. The link is to a chapter from a book by Marvin Marshall about how to run classroom meetings. I really enjoyed this chapter. Classroom Meetings

I think this is a great article...I printed it out and am in the process of reading it. I like the idea of classroom meetings especially since part of my philosophy is to develop a classroom environment that resembles something of a family. By having these meetings from time to time, I feel that it would being to foster an idea of community and family that is so important to helping students feel comfortable with their learning experience!
