  • Team members can identify the component of their mission that they're working toward and maintain a laser-like focus on it.

      Are Chandler's teachers easily able to identify what part of the mission they are working on? Have they been given an opportunity to participate in the crafting of this mission?
  • A team that operates within a school should be aligned to that school's vision, mission, goals, and strategic plans. This could be considered vertical alignment of efforts. Teams also need to align horizontally -- what one team does needs to complement another team's work.
  • What piece of our school's vision are we working toward? Which components of our mission are we upholding? Which of our long-term or annual goals are we contributing to? What specifically will this team need to do in order to move our school forward on its vision and goals?

  • Team members need these connections laid out. When the intersections of purpose and work become clear, team members are more likely to feel energized, motivated, and valued.
  • The most important resource for a team is time -- time for the facilitator to prepare as well as time for teams to collaborate. Teams must meet consistently and focus their time on what matters: implementing a work plan, learning together, and building strong relationships with each other.
  • A team's potential for greatness depends on many factors, including the emotional intelligence of team members and the organizational conditions in the school or district that houses the team.
  • The most effective schools and organizations have a mission and vision that motivates, unifies, and guides all stakeholders in their day-to-day operations. Short- and long-term goals for the school align to the mission and vision and are regularly reflected on.

PD

shared by Jill Bergeron on 15 May 14 - No Cached
  • few schools provide systematic, long-term, programs to help teachers master their craft. Pre-service training is brief, mentoring is spotty, one-time workshops abound. Independent schools have often made a virtue of giving teachers a classroom and wishing them well—autonomy to the able, too often "sink or swim."
  • The goal must be to provide ongoing professional development that moves an entire faculty forward, consistent with the school's vision and core values.
  • New teachers, whether experienced or not, participate in a three-year program—yes, three years—of thoughtfully scaffolded skills matched to the school's chosen direction for teaching and learning. Some topics reinforce the school's traditional strengths; others reflect the major strains of innovation

  • To prepare a one-size-fits-all (or most) session does everyone a disservice.
  • the three tools and tactics featured in this post will provide an effective means to gauge the needs of your audience and chart your course to effectively support them.
  • Before fine-tuning content for a particular session, I start out with a Google Form and a list of suggested topics (e.g. Google for Research, Nearpod, Kahoot, Student Projects with iPad, Workflow with eBackpack) that I perceive to be campus or department needs.

  • The information gleaned from this survey allows me to carefully craft a personalized learning experience for our attendees by steering clear of familiar apps, providing a deeper focus on a particular skill, or discovering solutions for grouping attendees to achieve optimal collaboration within the day.
  • As educators, we frown upon one-size-fits-all education and preach personalized learning, yet we still deliver canned in-services and seminars time and time again, never addressing the needs of a specific audience of learners
