We have a lot of meetings in a week. This makes it difficult to feel "caught up" on my own stuff.

We could set realistic goals for our one team meeting per week and reward ourselves for getting goals accomplished (chocolate, anyone?).

I am enjoying having a buddy teacher that I can bounce ideas around with. I look forward to building more collaboration as the year progresses.

There are just too many meetings that I feel are very unproductive at times. We often go around the circle to look for solutions, but walk out of the meetings without concrete accomplishments. I believe I can get more things done if I were given that time to do my own planning.

Since we have double block for our team meeting on Tuesday, let's try to make the most out of that meeting and use Monday/Friday meeting times to do individual planning. We will make sure to bring "ready to get things done" mindset to Tuesday meeting to avoid having repetitive meetings throughout the week.

I want to highlight how great resources are being shared within the team. Also, always good to have team members that are willing to volunteer to do extra work on behalf of the team such as writing parent letters, creating beautiful posters on lines of inquiry, etc.

I am really happy with the sharing of ideas and resources and the support that is offered by the team. I am a teacher who has been at this for a while now and it is great to get some fresh ideas and to be inspired by new/young teachers. The challenge to work as a team is also a positive...what does not kill us only makes us stronger!!!

Yes I agree that the meetings seem to go around in circles sometimes but I also think that is how we clarify and eventually come up with useful ideas. Unfortunately we do not have time to waste doing this every week so erhaps we can have a meeting to delegate roles and responsibilities and then each person has a job to do without taking up valuable planning time up. I would much rather do my planning at home on the couch than in meetings and with the pressure of the clock staring me down.

Unfortunately this year we are a new team and many of us are very unfamiliar with everything to do with CI and VS. There is nothing to be done about it and I am sure it will be a lot better next year but that is definitely a minus for everyone on the team as the old guard have to carry the burden until the newbies know what they are doing.

I have appreciated the help other team members have been willing to provide together with the sharing of resources.

I have a different perspective about many new team members. It allows new ideas and approaches to be included building on what has already been done.

I think we should not try to do too much in a meeting but focus on the most important items. It becomes overwhelming if we are allocating small amounts of time to a task and not getting it finished. Tasks then have to be finished at a later time. If we are going to plan in a meeting then sufficient time should be allocated to it

I don't agree that each class should be doing the same thing at the same time. Our job is to cater to our students needs which are not the same as other classes. We carry out formative assessments and continuous monitoring to determine what to do tomorrow with groups or individuals.

Tuesday meetings should be allocated to be used for planning and no nuts and bolts stuff. If it can be sent through an email then maybe have that option.

Being organized and having a plan is good, but going too far can be stifling.

I do like that our group is very sharing

I think that is one of the big positives of our team.

Have occasional meetings led by one teacher or intern and focus on the ideas and methods of that class.
