How do you get from a great vision to the reality? We have spent the last couple of hours debating exactly this.
We have a clear philosophical vision and are able to articulate in general terms (maybe that's the problem) what we want to see happening in the classrooms. We want to be innovative and have a flexible learning environment, in fact the physical environment supports this. So HOW do we get there and what documentation of thinking do we provide for teachers to use as a backbone for the learning at our school? What does this look like?
We think that the pedagogy section from the NZC is a good framework to use as the all important base. HOW exactly do we use it to provide the good bones - expectations, systems and structures. What should this documentation LOOK like? HOW do I work with new staff as they come into employment to give them ownership and truly value their input - afer all that is why they were employed!
