STAFF BEST PRACTICE COMMITTEE
At my former school, I founded a Best Practice Committee with the support of my admin team and chair Joanne Lebeznick. We put together a Best Practice Committee, with myself, Joanne, our amazing admin, and the department chairs. We met and selected 4 initiatives to focus on; learning goals, rich tasks, rubrics and success criteria. The rest would have to wait. We developed a professional development schedule and brought in other teachers with areas of expertise, so present at staff meetings. The response was great! We were creating a culture of growth amongst staff. Teachers who were resistant to change were excited to share their new experiences. Teachers walked away with one tangible skill to implement in the class immediately.
Below are some of the resources that we developed to help us understand those ideas:
Examining the core principals of Growing Success, and the difference between success criteria and rubrics!
The importance of and effective use of Learning Goals!
Using the achievement charts, curriculum expectations, differentiation and authenticity to create rich tasks instead of tests!
