Shelley,
Meetings are our opportunity to become informed, share ideas and ask questions. Be involved in meetings!

Two very important documents! The catalog and the enrollment agreement are the contract with the student. We must know every inch!

Christina,
So interesting! Sharing and testing at the same time. (I might steal this one!)

Eva,
Keep the communications alive. New ideas keep us moving in the right direction.

Product knowledge training,admissions trainings and CIE requirement meetings with the school owner.
I attend several key meetings which are designed to ensure information is disseminated from top down. We have a Monday, Wednesday and Friday Manager meeting which lasts about an hour and we get updates and expectation from the Director. I attend a weekly meeting to discuss upcoming groups, and classes that are running. I attend quarterly meetings where we get information from the Campus VP.
I also hold weekly team meetings; and daily huddles both are conducted on a need basis.
Norma Suzanne,
Excellent! Meetings are the pathway to keeping everyone informed.

Denise,
I like the term "daily huddle" as it make me feel like we are all on the same team.

We have 3 types of meetings at my Institution, show meetings where we talk about status of applied students, then we have the "one on one" where we talk about our performance and the product knowledge meetings to talk about our programs, changes within the programs and any change within the policies as well.
Ana,
Meetings are a great way to keep informed and make sure everyone is on the same track.

I agree with the training course, suggesting regular staff meetings. This is the place to exchange ideas, to know new rules/regulations, to get new updates, to get new policies, and to obtain feedback from bosses and co-workers. To also know if we can improve the way we do business and we are all in tuned following the institution's policies to maintain licensing and established protocol.
Mark has a great point. Open discussion in meetings can bring to light issues that need to be addressed or give you insight and ideas that you had not previously thought of.
Rachel,
Meetings should be open forums in order to get feedback and develop a learning community among staff.

Weekly staff meetings are conducted. Additionally sharing the relevant information in the continuing education courses as well as regulatory updates on an ad hoc basis is beneficial.
We have a bi-weekly conference call with all of our other campuses and corporate office to constantly train and learn more about our job, school, etc.
We met with the different departments, share experiences and information helps us get a better functioning of the institution, consider the criterion of employers and ex students is also very beneficial for better school performance.
Once every week, we have what we call a "coffee break". Here, all staff from every department is required to be in attendence. This includes, student services, instructors, operations, placement, financial aid, and admission staff. We find this very informative as we are given updates on any changes, challenges, or successes we are having.
We have daily meetings, weekly trainings, monthly staff meetings and regular bimonthly meetings as well to keep everyone up to par
