5 Things You Hate
In order to establish the norms that will carry with us through the Pinnacle experience, we will use Blogger to weed out suggestions. First, leave a comment to this post listing 5 things you to see occur in a PLC setting. Afterwards, we will get in groups of 4 or 5 to combine those into categories we will use to make norms.

A. I hate when people hold personal conversations during meetings and training sessions.
ReplyDelete2. I hate people texting or taking phone calls.
Next. I hate people showing up late or leaving early, espeially when they feel the need to announce why (as if we care).
Then. I hate meetings where we are guided through every word on the handouts because they think we haven't learned to read yet.
Last. I hate when a "side" meeting is imbedded in the scheduled session so that we are forced to be there even if that topic is unrelated to the announced agenda.
