EWP 4-2A Yr 1946 Principals Conference Parliamentary Procedure
Description
On January 6, 1946, a lesson plan was developed for a principals conference with the goal of teaching correct parliamentary procedure in meetings. The plan included conducting a parliamentary drill, discussing correct and incorrect practices, and emphasizing nominations, elections, and motions. Principals were assigned to make materials available on parliamentary law, have teachers well-informed on the subject, and conduct lessons according to parliamentary law. Specific resources and pages from textbooks were provided, and common errors in parliamentary procedures were outlined, such as voting to nominate and not elect. The importance of seconding motions, addressing the chairman, and proper conduct during debates were highlighted, emphasizing the necessity of clear and organized meetings to ensure effective decision-making and leadership.
