If you ever thought about using Morning Meeting its time to talk to Sylvia Allan. You will gain a new understanding and desire to use Morning Meeting. Listening to the experiences and advice from an experienced Morning Meeting allows for a better understanding and appreciation of the format and direction this concept can bring to your classroom. Sylvia has changed some of the traditional model to conform to her personality.

I can only say that I hope to use the Morning Meeting to meet the students needs in the same manner that Sylvia described. What a great view into the program, its benefits, and its success.
