The surveys start coming in...oh, and another meeting

Yes, the first decision making surveys have come in and even the ESOs are getting involved. Should make for interesting reading.

I attended another typical meeting today, this time for a particular KLA that I am closely associated with.
The meeting started late with the usual excuses. The chair also said at the start: "I don't want to do a lot of talking at this meeting" and then proceeded to talk for about 80% of the meeting. She stuck to the agenda for the most part except near the end when we had an open discussion on what skills we would like our Year 12s to have by the time they reach Year 12. We can then use that to map what skills we develop in Year 11, 10 etc. down to Year 8. She really needs to be shown a technique on how to do this.
Prior to this, the only decision making part of the meeting was to decide on whether the new Engineering Course we are a part of (!) should be run across Year 10 or should be aimed at a particular group. It consisted of a small amount of discussion, then around the room for a vote! Hmmm. Very interesting way of doing things. She does not have much of an idea about getting opinions of others as she appeared to be very uncertain when asking for this.
Verdict: not a meeting more of a lecture/information session.
