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
