Collaboration

This year has been really successful so far for collaborative teaching. Tara and I do all our planning collaboratively. We have organised our library duty time so that we can sit down and plan our week together. Using Google Drive to plan makes it so easy to make changes to our plans too. We have many informal conversations throughout the day which guide our decisions in regards to groupings and next steps. We are improving our use of Evernote to record anecdotal notes as we teach but we also use modelling books to record what we do with each group each day so that we are both on the same page. Rotating our time in and out of class is also working really well. It helps us to keep a wide knowledge of all students in all areas.
