This guide is for you if: * You regularly meet with students and their families. * You want further support to avoid meetings that feel negative, combative or ineffective in some way. * You have to attend a lot of meetings, and this forms a considerable amount of your work. * You want to build relationships with students and their families in a dynamic way that also gets results fast. * You have limited, or a lot, of experience running, facilitating, or organising school meetings. All experience levels can benefit.
