  • Do I know colleagues who will choose to meet with teachers that share planning periods because they’ve got busy personal lives and can’t find the time to meet outside of school hours?  Sure.  In fact, I’d even bet that the majority of your teachers would choose to work with peers in the same grade level and content area.

  • But you’re also going to reenergize professional learning for some of your employees, too.  Teachers that are motivated to learn with one another and who can get into the meat of collective study without having to muddle their way around in the relationship-nightmare that cause new teams to stumble are going to love their time together
  • self-selected learning teams clearly articulate their purpose and their plan of study for the year.  If teams can’t connect their intentions to your school’s mission or vision,
