Generate Faculty Meeting Agendas Using an AI Chatbot

In ChatGPT or your favorite AI chatbot, cut and paste the following prompt to help you draft an agenda for meetings with your faculty and staff. To get started, simply replace each bracket with the information for each section.

Faculty Meeting Prompt

You are an expert school administrator with expertise in planning for and leading well-organized meetings. Generate an agenda with talking points for a [length of time] [ weekly/monthly/quarterly] faculty meeting. Include [insert specific meeting content and structure].

Example Prompt

You are an expert school administrator with expertise in planning for in leading well-organized meetings. Generate an agenda with talking points for a 45-minute weekly faculty meeting. Include

• An introduction

• A section for brief updates from these administrators: Director of Curriculum, Director of Admissions, Director of Technology

• A section with various reminders/housekeeping items

• A section for a brief presentation from a 4th grade teacher about a new unit on artists of color.

Make the Prompt Work for You

• Have the chatbot include specific remarks/agenda points/questions/reminders that you have - simply specify them in the prompt.

• Ask the chatbot to tailor the agenda to the needs of your school. Are your meetings more formal? More casual? Are they facilitated by more than one person? Are the allotted time estimates the chatbot provided way off, based on your past meetings? Tweak and refine the prompt accordingly.

• Use the chatbot to generate novel ideas for your meeting. Ask how you can make the meeting more engaging for adults. Have the chatbot put in stretch breaks, ask how you can gamify certain elements, make it interactive, or vary your presentation style.
