Do you need a boost to your classroom or meeting? An engaging new way to develop important topics or lessons, increase individual participation, AND build community spirit? Consider adding a 30-minute RoundTable (aka GEMS RoundTable) and see the positive results!

The GEMS RoundTable is a 30-minute supplementary activity which provides a controlled environment to accelerate learning and cooperative communications. GEMS RoundTables afford participants:

  • equal time to present their ideas
  • real-time access to basic information
  • shared and rotating leadership

A GEMS RoundTable begins with 5 minutes of scripted readings and is followed by 25 minutes of discussion, with time divided equally among all in attendance. The format is flexible and perfect for:

  • Classrooms/Trainings - An easy, fun, peer-led activity cued by a Leader's Guide and Basic Readings, it improves participation and leadership skills and increases access to the curriculum/agenda.
  • Staff Development - The GEMS Roundtable format is also excellent for staff development and planning. Its use fosters authentic communication and program ownership among all the staff without skimping on the agenda. 
  • Meetings - Suitable for groups of 18 or more people, in schools, workplaces, and other communities, GEMS RoundTables help make your meetings more productive.
GEMS RoundTables have been implemented in a dozen schools. In addition, daily RoundTables have been held for nine years in the week-long annual educational conference of the International Society of System Sciences (ISSS.org).
