I have to promote collaborative work between teachers. Do you have some idea how to implement? I am elaborating a interventional project.
Hi Anelia - Best wishes for your project. A few thoughts.
1. Make sure that you have the full support of the school's leadership team.
2. Think hard about working principles - you might adopt a particular framework e.g. Think of yourself working as a 'Professional Learning Community' or 'Community of Practice'.
3. Negotiate very tight/clear project objectives.
4. Think hard about allowing sufficient time for teachers to work together in the planned ways (try to avoid making it 'yet another thing')
5. Consult the best practice research on team teaching and effective professional learning.
All quite general but I hope that these thoughts help.
Elaborarea unui Plan de promovare cu o echipă responsabilă.
Prioritizarea acțiunilor și activităților astfel încât să atragă.
Feedback eficient pentru rapoartele fiecărui profesor și întâlniri periodice pentru prezentări în grupul de lucru.
Fiecare profesor să-și prezinte realizările săptămânal în fața celorlalți (sau în fața comunității), valorizând permanent aspectele pozitive și prezentând măsuri de îmbunătățire pentru obstacolele întâmpinate.
