Structures for staff meetings and PLCs
A staff meeting often follows the same pattern: an agenda, a few people who do the talking and colleagues who listen or tune out. The same structures you use in class break that pattern with adults too. Everyone gets the floor, and you also hear from the colleague who usually stays quiet.
For a PLC, a department meeting or a professional development day, you don't need a new method. A fixed turn order, or a statement on which everyone takes a position, is enough to widen the conversation.
Which structure when?
Taking Turns is a strong opener for a meeting: everyone names, in one sentence, something that works in their own classroom. Within ten minutes you have an overview that would otherwise take half the meeting.
Stand Up & Sit Down and Four Corners show how the team feels about a proposal before the discussion starts. That keeps the first speaker from setting the tone for everyone else.
What to watch for
Run it with your team exactly as you would with a class: keep the time per step short, put the question on the screen and let the structure lead the conversation. Colleagues who experience a structure for themselves are more likely to try it in their own classroom.
