In order to conduct a successful TEAM/Student Conference remember these expectations:
PURPOSE: To help the student identify the best plan of action for achieving his/her goals (long and short term)
Focus: How can we best help support the student as they attempt to reach their goals?
•Stay on topic•Keep comments brief•No war stories•Limit preaching to Sundays•Excuses are not the same thing as reasons•Keep a sense of humor (especially when getting frustrated)•Give them a way out and not back them into a corner•Close in the box gradually (it will probably take more than one meeting)
•Listen, Listen, Listen to what the student is saying•When its time, focus on solutions to problems; there are always options•Be open to new ideas and be creative with solutions (this is their first time)•Everything said in the meeting is CONFIDENTIAL (beyond anything else, we are trying to build trust)•Your are being watched as an example of what ADULT actions should be
When doctors lose a patient they lose a life;
when preachers lose a member they lose a soul; and
when we lose a student we lose a potential.
