Will we need to apply to be on team or just for MU? ]]> 2017-11-07 02:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204190398 Lissa and Emily https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204190450 Will this increase the workload for teachers on top of what they already do? We think it will improve both teacher and student capabilities by broadening our horizons and allowing us to explore areas we may not previously have had the opportunity to. Learn from others and be part of a like minded team. Sharing the workload amongst team - even distribution but person with management unit to take leadership.  Is the cycle for being on a team yearly, two yearly etc?   Student voice and involvement important along with linking to parent/whanau and community.
Work load and wellness of the staff??

Yes because we learn from one another and can pool ideas. Use different skill sets. More holistic and aligned to the modern learner. Not separated and covers more than curriculum areas. 
People getting to choose which team is great. Tapping into strengths/interests.

2. We can work together, more collaborative. Teams will be inter related not segregated. More ideas, help share the workload. Using staff meeting time great.
Promoting distributive leadership.

3.How will we ensure that Unit holder does the majority and not just delegate. Particularly with cultural and people running Jump jam, choir etc?
How will teams feed back to staff?
How often will teams be expected to meet?
Student council?
How are we going to ensure that the workload between the teams is equal-more items=more people on team???
Will they be permanent units?-Trial with people first to see if right fit.

Scheduled time to meet sound great and help with workload
Reporting to the board is good and keeps things accountable and on focus
More chance to share a passion and skill and you are part of a team that you can spend time (not spread thin)
How will the management units work?  
Is Literacy and Numeracy 2 units? (Big job either roles)
Will there be training for what reporting to the board will look like.
How many units will each have? Some responsibilities appear large]]> 2017-11-07 02:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204190471 Anne and Julie https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204190474 Teachers will feel more part of the team, not so tiered - from the top down. 
Can put more effort in to one focused area. Not spreading yourself  over several committees. 
Sharing information  with the Board will be benefical  to both parties.
Student involvement is crucial.
 Would the Leader stay on each year ?- 2 year role would be good to allow for continuity/ experience.
It gives staff opportunity to work with other team teachers- should lead to good discussions. Opportunity to know what other teams are doing.]]> 2017-11-07 02:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204190474 Helen, Becky, Jess jess_mccoy https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204190494 -Do we have to be on a team?
Can you be on more than one team?
-How is the unit paid out? 
-Do the team members who have huge responsibilities within the team get paid?
-Do some groups get more units with some being bigger than others? For example the cultural has several big responsibilities.
-Will some people who have more commitments in the teams (not the leader) be given less duties e.g working with children groups- Choir, Jump Jam, Kapa Haka, PB4L with child input etc
-What will the workload look like for each unit?

When do applications open up? When is the Literacy/Numeracy committee likely to be confirmed?
What umbrella will general ICT stuff go under? e.g. PD and workshopping etc. 
What other incentives can we use for people to do tasks that traditionally would have fallen under a Curriculum leader? i.e. Numeracy inventory/bookroom stocktaking, organising and ordering
Are the learning team workloads evenly spread?

When teachers are working in areas they're passionate about, they are more likely to pick up knowledge and skills in that area and share these with other teachers and students. ]]> 2017-11-07 03:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204190628 Kellie and Gay https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204191121 2. Possibilities include working with teachers and students in all ages across the school.
Opportunities to build on leadership skills. ]]> 2017-11-07 03:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204191121 Kellie and Gay https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204191490 3. Where doe the Gardening club/Garden to Table program fit?
If more people are wanting to go into one particular area and less in others, how will we make sure there's an even spread?]]> 2017-11-07 03:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_elley/w2zd34vrfnmq/wish/204191490
