Goal setting
Staff were asked to reflect on their two goals for the year. They named their other goal, outside of the Learning Collaborative:
They were asked to reflect:
What’s going well in your teaching? What are you noticing that’s working?
In break out groups staff were asked to share:
What progress has been made toward the goal?
What have you you learnt so far?
What surprised you?
What roadblocks are you running into?
Staff were asked to explore:
What teaching strategies would you like to work on? Has this changed? Or Stayed the same?
Tell me more about that? What would be the benefits of that?
After sharing, staff were asked to write down their response to these questions:
So, what can you do to move forward on this?
What are your first 3 small steps?
How can we support each other?
With the employment of a teacher librarian, we have 40 minutes a week in addition to our PLT and RFF time. Using our existing structures what things might you organise to help support this goal and our Learning Collaborative goal? Meetings? Observations? Feedback? Implementation of Feedback? Reflection time? How will you confirm this with others? Who's responsibility is this? Staff started to fill out the following and the informal observation of pedagogy has begun! People could also ask for the LOP and/or AP Learning and Teaching to walk alongside in the process.
While teachers had this session around their goals, the Teacher Assistants had a separate meeting where they were able to share with each other how their teaching teams had included them in the trailing of Learning Collaborative learning so far in the classroom. They also had the opportunity to clarify any of the learning with a Knowledgeable Other, given they joined the staff meetings after the teachers. Some questions were around the difference between data walls, bump it up walls, anchor charts and how they can use Learning Intentions and Success Criteria with their work with students.
