https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf Based on the article, 6 Proposals for Improving Teacher Morale, as well as our previous articles and discussions, post 3 goals to boost morale and a positive school culture in your campus and among all staff. en-us 2016-10-27 17:54:31 UTC 2025-10-25 07:41:12 UTC hello@padlet.com dvallerga1 https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf/wish/133780148 1.  Creating a culture of innovation and creativity.
2. Provide clear communication and purpose behind initiatives and collaboration.
3. Connecting with ALL stakeholders to stay informed, be there, and listen to ideas and suggestions.]]> 2016-10-27 22:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf/wish/133780148 https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf/wish/134006777 1. When planning PLCs, be mindful of the "forced collaboration" concept and emphasize authentic collaboration.
2. Look for examples of what is working, and give praise often.
3.  Seeking -- and supporting -- innovation rather than compliance from teachers (this is a direct quote from the article, but I like it and think it makes a great goal).]]> 2016-10-28 21:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf/wish/134006777 https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf/wish/135509667 1. After seeing the awesome collaboration during the 8th grade PLC, my goal is to continue to encourage "unforced" collaboration so that teachers view it as a benefit, instead of  "time they could've been doing another task".
2. I will use the term "evidence of success" instead of "non-negotiables" moving forward to communicate the importance of the task at hand and the meaning behind it.
3. Continue to "celebrate" my teachers]]> 2016-11-04 20:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf/wish/135509667 https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf/wish/136606127 1. Continue to reach out to teachers on a regular basis  (and more often) in order to establish and foster a stronger relationship.
2. Acknowledge efforts and reward results--this idea came from the first bullet of the Tone of Accountability]]> 2016-11-10 01:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf/wish/136606127 https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf/wish/136873810 1. Making Connections - I continue to reach out to 1-2 different teachers each week to check-in and see where I or the MS Dept can offer additional support to teachers
2. Task Force - pulling in teachers to work on MS process and procedures to ensure we are 'hitting the mark' when creating and/or improving processes for things like MSPR, etc.
3. Continue to acknowledge and appreciate staff for their efforts and achievements]]> 2016-11-10 19:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dvallerga1/t4isp4dxfpnf/wish/136873810
