My school is set up in a Professional Learning Community format. We meet very regularly so that groups can share out information and new developments in each specific area. Personally, I have been involved in the Reading, Science, and Responsive Classroom groups. Participating in these groups has shown me the importance of teamwork and collaboration skills. I have also recognized the need for individuals to do their part in order to complete the successful whole.
QUESTIONS FROM MY CLASSROOM (10/16/2010)
- What can I do in the classroom to increase safe feelings on the school bus?
- I work hard to create community in the classroom, but how can I help students to feel community within our school?
- How can I create an environment where all students feel comfortable helping and learning from each other?
