This course will guide team members and leaders through the important considerations and tasks to develop a strong team and hold effective meetings. Updated from the original version of this course, we have streamlined activities for improved navigation, kept the tools and activities that served participants most, removed those that were not helpful, and added content regarding family engagement.

- assemble effective teams
- establish team operating procedures to maximize engagement and outcomes
- develop team communication plans
