How reassuring the Facilitators have been, they are making it sound easy not so daunting as it was when I read the what to do.
Facilitators - Be the Change
We need to inspire, create and sustain change in our school.
From Professional Development we have done the positive include hands-on, practical for us as teacher or in the classroom. Negatives are when PD is rushed, lacks preparation and little or no opportunities for talking.
- Professional Development need to be relevant and fun
- We need to meet people at their level in order to empower them whether it is the student or the teacher
- Development with Teachers not just for Teachers
Main barriers to change include time, infrastructure and reluctant teachers. Reluctant Teachers - need little pressure and lots of support
- streamline their workflow
- be positive, support, answer questions (even the dumb ones)
- give time to try and listen - use students to teach teachers
- link to passion, grab what they are interested in.
For Change to be effective:
- Leadership need to be on board
- Know the Teacher = trust
- Small wins
- Find build tribe to help support
- Identify barriers and solutions
- Lead by example
- Share it out
- Just keep swimming
What do you find frustrating? Let's see if we can make it easier.
