Teaching & Learning communities
What does a TLC look like?: It consists of 5 to 8 colleagues who 3 times a term to discus about learning and teaching, and agree to plan and try new ideas in the classroom to improve student learning.
What are members asked to do?: Read the materials circulated prior to the meeting and then come along to the meeting and share these ideas and listen to the ideas of colleagues. Then either individually or as a community, trial some of the ideas shared at the meeting, in the classroom e.g. planning for challenge, Assessment as PART of learning – remember the activities trialled are small and connected to improving student learning.
What is in it for members?: The opportunity to share the untapped expertise residing in individual teachers; the opportunity to grow expertise by providing regular space and time for systematic reflection on practice, helping to build a collective knowledge base in school and give staff the opportunity to see unfamiliar practices being used in the classrooms, in practice for themselves; being able to question the staff/students, rather than simply reading or being told about them.
