The One-Minute Meeting: Creating Student Stakeholders in Schools - Paperback

The One-Minute Meeting: Creating Student Stakeholders in Schools shows school leaders how to get real feedback from students in a minute each.

Each One-Minute Meeting is a structured, very short conversation with a student, run at scale and then read as data. Mary Hemphill built it in her own school, and the book carries the method end to end: introducing it, planning it, running it and breaking the results down.

Inside the book

Each chapter opens with where a component came from, then the research behind it, then templates and examples for elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. The needs assessment and the conversation with teacher leaders get their own treatment.

Who it's for

School leadership and administration courses, and working principals and district staff. One administrator who bought it after hearing Hemphill speak called it a blueprint for critical conversations and ordered copies for the leadership team.
