To increase our knowledge and awareness of our new COL role all of the Sommerville COL staff have been meeting online each week. This is a great chance for us to learn with, from and about each other, brainstorming ideas. We have created our own community of practice within the COL. This is a great opportunity for us to give each other feedback on our learning goals and blogs and a chance to feed forward.
These group catch ups are invaluable and having the time while at home to make these regular has been a positive of working from home. We are already looking at how we will continue these sessions when we reduce down to level 1.
This allows us to share resources, learning links and presentations. We have created a Google Drive folder where we can keep track of notes and also share new information so everyone has access.
Through Tash’s university study she has created a Collaboration presentation which was shared with his group of teachers which has links to reading references and will be used to share information back with our school colleagues.
Through these group discussions we created with Devs the collaboration survey which generated our baseline data of our colleagues' understanding and connection with collaboration in their current practice.
Having Devs in this learning group is excellent, as she comes with knowledge from being in this role last year. Having a more knowledgeable learning partner is very important when co operating and growing as teachers. We all have a passion for play based learning and collaboration and all bring with us different strengths. This environment creates endless opportunities for inter professional learning.
