The classroom teacher has the greatest and most significant impact on student learning. Therefore, it is important that we develop a culture of committed teachers who work together to help each other improve student learning. Teachers have the ability and the knowledge to make student learning transformative and authentic. I believe it is important to create structures and strategies around giving every teacher a voice as we discuss school improvement. Let’s talk more about the following:
-
- Create sustainable teacher collaboration
- A structure for just in time (JIT) professional development
-
- Teachers as school leaders
- Control what we can control
