SELF REFLECTION OF AN ICT DEPARTMENT MEETING

     Conducting a meeting requires a lot of preparation and meeting. It was a new and innovative experience for me as I had not conducted any meetings earlier. It was a good opportunity to step into a leadership role and take responsibility for your actions. I sent a formal invitation to  all the participants of the meeting. Next step was to come up with a strong agenda to put forward constructive points, articulate ideas and to work on strategies for the development of the department. I gave an opportunity to team members to put forward their points or include their points in the agenda as well which they felt were of importance. I emailed the agenda of the meeting to all the department meeting members the previous day of the meeting. In the meeting several points were discussed to bring about a positive change in the department. Participants exchanged ideas and views , sharing good practices ,planning future events  if any, delegating work and responsibilities for events, discussing term plans and curriculum development, target groups and show improvements in their grades, discussed strategies to raise attainment  and progress of students.
