PLD 2020PLD 2020 will look different. We want to tie all threads together by Learner Agency. This will begin with Teacher Agency. We are inviting all staff to examine purpose, inspiration and the things you are passionate about teaching and learning.
All staff will have leadership opportunities, delivering professional learning around an area of passion. Underneath the work will be a robust research project/ TAI which is likely to last for most of the year and will inform all staff around best practice or improvement in a chosen area. We are envisioning doing this in pairs/ teams.
PLD sessions will be delivered in chunks. 4- 8 sessions in succession. We are aiming to do less in more depth. Areas to consider are Reading, Writing and Maths (a given) and Positive Education, Learner Agency and Cultural Responsiveness. This is to get us thinking! Voice, choice, PURPOSE, engagement…
Today we began to generate ideas for next year. We started the meeting with a walk to appreciate our place.
The best ideas come when we aren't trying to think of them... They often come when:
-Walking
-Running
-Traveling (airplanes, airports, trains, buses)
-Falling Asleep or Waking Up
-In Conversation with Friends
-Listening to Audiobooks or Podcasts
-Showering
Ximena also led a starter about how teaching activates each area of our Wellbeing...
Here are some of our initial thoughts about leading and learning linked to our 2020 business plan and strategic goals:
