THE DEFINITIVE RETREAT ON HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR COLLABORATIVE TEAMS!
For collaborative teams, one of the biggest challenges is knowing how to use time productively. Based on the masterful book, Collaborative Teams That Work, this highly practical retreat provides definitive guidance for teams to work through ongoing cycles of learning, so they can have maximum impact.
At their worst, collaborative teams can seem like yet another burden to bear – perhaps even a frustrating waste of time in a school day already overflowing with commitments.
If your team doesn’t know how to use its time produc-tively, and is expected to work collaboratively with little support or knowledge on how to do this, it’s difficult to use the power of the group to have any real impact.
Do you find your team focusing on the wrong things? Is it unclear how ongoing professional learning fits into the work of teams in a professional learning community (PLC)? Or maybe there’s just members who aren’t buying into the collective responsibility of the team.
In this intensive retreat, designed for principals, assis-tant principals, collaborative team members, leadership staff, classroom teachers and specialist teachers, you’ll learn how to apply the essential evidence-based actions high-performing collaborative teams implement.
You’ll leave with new insights on how to overcome common challenges, measure impact and use clear processes to plan and conduct successful collaborative team meetings.
WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS RETREAT
EXPERT LED
Learn from the expertise of renowned educators and
authors, Gavin Grift and Colin Sloper, who have spent their
careers committed to research-ing, developing, applying and
refining collaborative team processes that genuinely
improve student learning and impact teaching practice.
Our presenters worked as principals, professional learning
providers, PLC leaders, curriculum directors, coaches and classroom teachers – and
speak your language.
CONTEXTUALISED
Each day is contextualised with supporting examples. Partici-
pants are supported to work on their collaborative team process
so they can have maximum impact on student learning.
Unlike some other retreats, we spend much less time on the
‘how’ and ‘why’. Instead we dig deeper into the actual tasks that
collaborative teams in a PLC should focus their efforts on so
that they can be actioned immediately.
SOME QUESTIONS ADDRESSED IN THIS RETREAT
PAST PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING...
What’s critical to consider when facilitating collaborative team meetings?
What is the best structure to enable collaborative teams to do this work? How do we ensure that this work makes a genuine difference to our school achievement data? What are the current tasks and items we are working on that don’t belong to the PLC process?
How do you stay tuned to the PLC process when team members don’t share responsibility for teaching the same content?
This program has reignited the passion for being a leader. Being a conscious leader and not going into autopilot. Teaching me some new strategies to use when I lead and help grow leaders within the team. Thank you very much!
“
”This program has given me powerful tools to bring discipline to collaborative meetings and work to maintain a focus on the goal of the meeting to increase our collective productivity
