Many times differences in opinions or attitudes can deter teachers from speaking up or taking action in their schools, or can impact the atmosphere of the school altogether. However, the authors Katzenmeyer and Moller suggest, "teacher leaders learn to articulate and acknowledge the differences that exist, rather than ignoring them." How do the differences in teacher attitudes, styles, viewpoints, and experiences influence your school leadership as a whole? Is it a positive influence? ]]> 2018-03-12 00:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/240662185 rrcraven https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/240662289 Chapter 5: Building a Culture That Supports Teacher Leadership]]> 2018-03-12 00:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/240662289 rrcraven https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/240669458 Chapter 5 of Awakening the Sleeping Giant is about ways that schools can develop a context for teacher leadership effectively. Katzenmeyer and Moller explain that, “one of the most frequently mentioned problems with organizational structures is that teachers don’t have time in the school day for collaboration and leadership activities” (p. 94). Think about your school day. Is there time set aside each day, or most days, for you to have the opportunity to collaborate with fellow teachers and engage in leadership roles or opportunities? If so, how has this had an impact on you as an educator and on your students?   ]]> 2018-03-12 01:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/240669458 esgolden https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243198076 Chapter 4 - SO in my school I feel like we all have a collective view of what direction we want to go in as a school and even though we all work a different road to get to this point the goal or endpoint is the key factor in the leadership opportunities.   While we all recognize that we differ in how we get there, we discuss it at different opportunities (PLTs, Staff Meetings, PDs, SIP committees) I feel like this is a positive thing, and the ability to just all agree on the end goal is what is the most important. ]]> 2018-03-18 15:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243198076 esgolden https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243198191 Chapter 4 - SO in my school I feel like we all have a collective view of what direction we want to go in as a school and even though we all work a different road to get to this point the goal or endpoint is the key factor in the leadership opportunities.   While we all recognize that we differ in how we get there, we discuss it at different opportunities (PLTs, Staff Meetings, PDs, SIP committees) I feel like this is a positive thing, and the ability to just all agree on the end goal is what is the most important. ]]> 2018-03-18 15:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243198191 esgolden https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243199733 At our school we have weekly team meetings held either during a morning or afternoon at the decision of the team, we have a weekly PLT with our team, support staff, and administration, the first Tuesday of the month is leadership team meeting, the second we have our School Improvement Planning (SIP) meetings, and the third is our staff meetings.  All of these provide opportunities for us to collaborate and share and discuss.  This has def pushed me out of my comfort zone as a leader, and it has also impacted my teaching and learning because I'm constantly learning and growing from those around me. ]]> 2018-03-18 15:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243199733 esgolden https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243199749 At our school we have weekly team meetings held either during a morning or afternoon at the decision of the team, we have a weekly PLT with our team, support staff, and administration, the first Tuesday of the month is leadership team meeting, the second we have our School Improvement Planning (SIP) meetings, and the third is our staff meetings.  All of these provide opportunities for us to collaborate and share and discuss.  This has def pushed me out of my comfort zone as a leader, and it has also impacted my teaching and learning because I'm constantly learning and growing from those around me. ]]> 2018-03-18 15:15:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243199749 esgolden https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243199813   Chapter 5: At our school we have weekly team meetings held either during a morning or afternoon at the decision of the team, we have a weekly PLT with our team, support staff, and administration, the first Tuesday of the month is leadership team meeting, the second we have our School Improvement Planning (SIP) meetings, and the third is our staff meetings.  All of these provide opportunities for us to collaborate and share and discuss.  This has def pushed me out of my comfort zone as a leader, and it has also impacted my teaching and learning because I'm constantly learning and growing from those around me. ]]> 2018-03-18 15:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243199813 angary https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243281785 At my school I am struggling with leadership roles right now because our staff morale is not the best it has been over the years. It seems like personal and professional lives/matters have caused a lot of negative vibes and it makes it very difficult to want to step into roles. Opinions are taking personal instead of as a suggestion to possibly make things better. I stepped out a leadership role because I didn't feel that it was effective or that I had a purpose and I would rather spend my time doing something more productive. Chapter 4 talks about teaching philosophy and I think it's important to have your own but also shape your philosophy as you grow and develop professionally. Your philosophy should embody your beliefs and values  and create a vision for your teaching. ]]> 2018-03-19 00:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243281785 angary https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243283975 ch 5 Our school has a weekly PLT that happens an hour before school. My school also has a monthly  SIP meeting ,PBIS meeting, and two leadership meetings. These roles are filled by whoever is willing take the role for each grade level. From my experience when I had leadership roles I did not feel like it was a good use of my time or impacted our school norms classroom.I enjoy or PLT meetings because the focus is always our students and the agenda is fit to the needs and outcomes of our students, not what the county tells us we have to talk about.]]> 2018-03-19 00:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/243283975 https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/295899109 2018-10-23 12:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/295899109 https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/295899144 2018-10-23 12:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/295899144 https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/295899303 2018-10-23 12:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rrcraven/272kmtqhfaty/wish/295899303
