You have a person who has arrived from another PYP school and they think they are “the expert”
 * Ask for other perspectives or ways to look at the issue
 * One-to-one conversation for a negative expert
 * Include a discussion during induction about the similarities/differences of schools worked at
 * Valuing their knowledge and experience
 * Encourage the culture that everyone's opinion is right and should be listened to (open-minded)
 * If a positive expert use as a mentor teacher
 * Give them an area of responsibility-chair of a committee
 * Acknowledge that they may be more knowledgeable with PYP than you are, see it as an advantage to the school

One person never says anything and will not contribute to the group * Talking sticks * Spider Web * Assigned Roles * Cluster groups and they report the group perspective instead of their own * Talking to them individually to find out why- is it cultural, no trust, lack of experience- ask them how you can help them * Ask them what their ideas or opinions are

One person talks all the time and does not give the others an opportunity to talk * Talking sticks (Each person has 3 sticks and when you comment you give up a stick until you have none left) * Spider Web (ball of yarn or string and when you finish speaking you throw the yarn to another person but you hold the string. Then the next person does the same and eventually everyone in the group should be holding the yarn) * Assigned Roles * Time limit on talking eg 1 minute to give you opinion (Put time limits in your essential agreements) * Refer back to the agenda and outcomes for the meeting *Ask if anyone else has something to share * Get them to write their thoughts on paper and each share their ideas ( eg. SNOWBALL)
