The Team Leader Role Explained
Your role as Team Leader explained (for a Department-wide PD Approach)
The Team Leader Role - Unpacked
The Team Leader role requires some time input. However, being the Team Leader of a Department-wide PD is much less arduous and time-consuming than attempting to bring about pedagogical change on your own!
The Team Leader:
- Participates in the PD with the teachers.
- Regularly references the PD
- As the 'Guide On The Side', is transparent when sharing with their teachers.
- Fosters discussion with and between teachers, both informally and during meetings; offers support and encouragement to teachers.
- Occasionally liaises with the course facilitator via email, Zoom or WhatsApp.
- May decide - in agreement with the teachers and facilitator - to prioritise specific implementations from the PD.
- Encourages multiple implementations of multiple strategies throughout the PD.
- Organises time in meetings for teachers to share their implementation experiences.
- Gains approval from teachers for a Minimum Progress Agreement; checks on teachers' progress during the PD.
