Profitable staff meetings play a vital role in achieving great spiritual, academic, and social victories for our students and our Saviour. Below are five components of an effective school staff meeting.

Inspiration
Encourage your staff by teaching a Bible devotion, sharing a praise, and commending a teacher or school staff member for something you observed. Recognize staff birthdays publicly with a small gift for their labor of love.

Intercession Share the heart of your pastor as you take prayer requests. Share answers to prayer and provide updates of previous requests. From time to time it is good to break down into small groups for a more fervent time of prayer.

Information
Give announcements regarding the school calendar, special events, academics, and sporting events. Make sure everything is recorded, and have your secretary provide a copy of everything that was covered in the meeting to the school staff and your pastor.

Instruction
Prepare a profitable lesson to sharpen teachers spiritually and academically. The Lord’s school ought to always be the best school in both of these areas. A spiritually strong and academically excellent teaching core will aid in achieving this great endeavor.

Influence
To avoid a “rushed” atmosphere, an effective weekly school staff meeting is normally a thirty to forty-five minute meeting after school. When the four areas above are included, your staff meetings will be more influential and profitable for your staff. This enables them to have a greater impact on their students, your school, and the kingdom of God.
