prepping for the rabbit hole

Lots of Department PLD which has been incredibly stimulating. The best PLD. I have experienced because we have collaborated to co construct presentations to English teaching peers and gained so much from the time spent together. A lot of honesty and breaking down of competitiveness.
21st century learning fluencies and Global Digital citizen website have been instrumental in guiding this journey beyond measure.
Best part of it was how i experienced that three heads are far better than one. The synergy of working collaboratively increased the value of the product profoundly. Once you collaborate you never want to plan alone again. It takes the loneliness and druggery out of teaching and ignites waning enthuzaism for the profession we can love to hate when we are worn out.

I totally agree with you Jo. Collaborating on a shared vision has made the planning so much more enjoyable and it's been great to begin the year with activities and resources focusing on our "Big 3"

Agreed that particular concepts ignite waning(?) enthusiasm for the profession, especially growth mindset and the promotion of critical thinking. However, what is important is that we thoroughly 'nut out' the workings of all of these concepts, as this will help implement these in our teaching and learning programs. I, personally, do not feel confident in my knowledge of the 21st century learning fluencies and believe it is an area where I need to serious up-skill.
