Set up an in school trade me or sell site. Where classes can put up items they have excess  of and where they can either trade or buy out of class budget items other teachers have put up.
Example too much yellow paint in one class year may be swapped for too much pva glue in another. Idea to collectively share resources rather than buying new all the time.

Timetable in  PLC, Cluster, Teams, Growth Plan on a rotational basis.

Put regular cancelled staff meetings in the calendar - AGM/reports.
Only put things that need to be discussed, if you are just telling people about something that could be emailed then email it.
If not on agenda then not discussed.
Flexibility with times, some shorter some longer

# data[].attributes.body
incorporating cluster meetings into this time for first 30 mins, possibly once a month. That way everyone is there and this will make block and event planning easier.
Staff meetings every other week on all odd week numbers, unless there is an extremely pressing issue.  Teams/emails could be used for other items.
If a PLC isn't relevant to a staff members duties, they don't have to attend but still remain at school working in their area.
Is it possible to finish at 4pm rather than 4.30? or is this a set allocated time we must be here.

Much better than it used to be in the past.

Recess and lunch duties can be very difficult when you have a lot of resources to clean and pack away and then set up again for another class.
Or when specialists are running rehearsals during recess and lunch. For this reason, after school duties are better for some specialists as then they can get classrooms ready for the following lesson and be on time for the next class.

Often make a time that is suitable
Email isn't always effective at getting a response - face to face is better

# data[].attributes.body
Yes they are available, however, we feel they are very busy and due to timetable constraints and other responsibilities such as duties etc. they are not always able to communicate with you on an issue on the day of the issue.

# data[].attributes.body
Availability for mentoring needs to be improved.

# data[].attributes.body
In person, yes but it would be beneficial if emails were replied to so that it's acknowledged that they know what we have said. Should we use Teams more for this? If this was addressed then less face to face interaction would be needed and would free up more time for both parties. Each person has their own strengths and approaches towards challenges. Possibly more explicit roles for certain jobs (e.g permission slips being edited and approved rather than sending it to everyone and waiting for a repsonse)

# data[].attributes.body
Very approachable and available.

Having everything due in Term 4, was too much. Very stressful.

# data[].attributes.body
Possible informal catch up with cluster leader throughout the term to see where we are up to or is this needed if there is a peer teacher working alongside us? Review the goals in less busy times of the year (not term 4!), possibly yearly goals which we have more time and energy to work on and would have a better result overall.

# data[].attributes.body
Held too often, would be better if it was monthly (and as needed) so that there was enough to discuss with more purpose rather than a lot of bits and pieces
Difficult when the DOTT time set aside is often lost

# data[].attributes.body
Weren't particularly successful for us as we are all different areas.
We think it would be beneficial to incorporate cluster meetings into staff meeting time. 30 minutes every 3rd week for example.

# data[].attributes.body
Good for maths groups and events
30 min max

# data[].attributes.body
Go back to years before where each block had their own AP so it is not one person having to work among all of the blocks, however communication among the blocks needs to be more of a focus. Meetings should only stick to the agenda, can be too long drawn out when a lot could be discussed through a Teams chat. Does it need to be every week? Possibly bi-weekly or 3 times a term? Other less important items could be discussed through teams

# data[].attributes.body
Go for too long, talking about irrelevant things. 15-20 mins max to make it more efficient.
