check in emotionally at next meeting

 Why not use this technique at the beginning of your professional learning community or grade-level or department meetings? It's not self-indulgent to take time to pose these questions to one another:

  • What's on your mind?
  • What's a recent challenge or success?
  • What are you thankful for?
  • What are you looking forward to?3 

In our experience, taking time to check in emotionally with one another for a few minutes actually increases the efficiency of a meeting. We get more accomplished—and prevent some of the "decision fatigue" that can set in as a meeting goes on.
