Grouping+teachers.....

1. How might the teaching staff at your school be grouped to engage with the DPP? Why?
 * teaching teams
 * phase teams (ie lower, middle, upper)
 * interest level
 * ability level
 * you must do this!!
 * bribes - chocolate, wine (first one done with no mistakes) etc
 * mentor and novice
 * staff rooms
 * faculty areas
 * subject areas across a group of schools

cohorts work well Why? to meet individual learning styles of our teachers point in time opportunities are powerful engage with people within their comfort zone (and slightly above/outside it to see possibilities) to group like-minded staff in a supportive learning environment to encourage self moderation, motivation and maximise learning outcomes and success Convenience Cross fertilization Allow discussion outside of the 'official' meeting time Allows for flexible timing of the meetings
