Information for Staff:
1. This year we are bringing back the late start PLD slots to make time in the school year to allow for smaller groups of staff to get together to work on a number of our different school priorities.
Please click on the google form to indicate what group that you will be joining. If there is an alternative that is not covered, please discuss with BLS and we can look to accommodate a separate group focus.
Please use the following link to sign up: https://forms.gle/E4v7p4PJh9jri5qD8
The Professional Learning Groups will be:
a. Literacy in the junior school
b. Numeracy across the junior school
c. Culturally Responsive Practice - developing a strategic overview and action plan for CGHS.
d. Teacher Profile - this is a chance for a small group of staff to look at how the teacher profile could be used better within our kura. For example in the developing a new classroom observation feedback/feedforward form with the CGHS teacher profile at its centre.
e. Restorative - this would be great for new staff and those who would like a refresher on restorative conversations and relational behaviour management.
f. House Spirit/Culture - a number of staff have identified that this could be an action point for CGHS. The focus will be on 'How to lift Spirit across the school'.
g. Other - see BLS to confirm the focus and who will be part of the group.
2. If you would like to read a summary of the 'actions' put forward at our staff meeting on Tuesday you can find the document HERE. If you would like to add in any extra comments for an area that your group did not have a chance to discuss, or reinforce something that you may want to see as a priority, please comment on the side.
One of our key aims over the last few years, under Strategic Goal 2, as been around student agency, engagement and student-centered learning. Something you may want to explore is the following playbook 'Agency by Design'. It has a lot of information but there may be relevant chapters with great reflective questions.
