I am acting as room leader for a week to gain experience.

I have been asked to plan a meeting that highlights the following points -

• My agreed roles/ responsibilities (it must be made clear to the team what I am responsible for and what is not my responsibility)
• I must clarify the feedback I would like from the team in relationship to my role
• Contingency planning - where appropriate, team members should come to me (as they would normally go to the room leader) with any issues that need to be addressed throughout the week in relation to the planned program/ daily tasks/ routines

This is a list of my agreed roles and responsibilities that I will assume for the week as room leader of the planned curriculum -

• My role as room leader is an opportunity for me to experience the challenges of planning and implementing the curriculum and coordinating/leading the room team in the provision of a quality learning program
