Meeting Magic: Strategies to Engage and Empower your Staff with A.J. Juliani
On Wednesday, March 24, 2021, A.J. Juliani led a lively and interactive CTLE Workshop via Zoom for over 35 CAS members and guests. Throughout the workshop, he enthusiastically and often humorously provided examples of practices he has designed to make staff meetings and professional development initiatives more impactful. During this collaborative offering, A.J. shared a variety of clever and authentic strategies school leaders can use immediately to engage meeting participants upon returning to school.
