Learn Implement Share

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.
