Response from Julie-Ann

Hi Jenna,  Heather has booked me in for the 30^th March for a staff meeting.  I ordered your student workbooks on the 4^th March. If they haven’t arrived please let me know and I will follow up for you. We don’t have posters.. I think the idea was that your students would make the posters and then display them in the withdrawal room.  See you next Monday.

Cheers Julie-Ann

Blog Test

Next Steps

Hi Guys,

You are the most independent of the PLG groups.  You have your own learning that you'll be going through.  I thought that I'd post here to let you know what the other groups are doing...

They are going to use this blog (they are all authors just like you) to post their learning experiences.  This is because they are setting their own learning objectives.  For you guys the learning is more prescribed by the 'friends' programme.

I'm hoping that you're going to be able to incorporate you learning and this blog.  I don't know how possible this will be for you all.

Cheers J.

yay. i have friends!!!

PLG Member Expectations

What Will Do You In This PLG?

I think that there are dangers in setting out the 'minimum' engagement levels.  Rather to highlight the possibilities.  There is a good read on PLG's on the Edutopia website here.  Basically the point is to keep the focus of the group on learning (the L in PLG).  To anticipate that all of the teachers will use their professionalism to add to the community.


The primary actions you will be expected to do include...

1. Being open minded - you're aiming to expand your practice.  Move from the theory (where you'll be most comfortable) into the classroom (where you'll learn the most).  
2. Putting yourself out there - giving the project/actions are genuine series of efforts.  Being an a tangible PLG (like DEEP) gives you ample opportunity.  
3. Share your experiences -  +  Invite others into your room with goal of seeing your implementations.  Not necessarily whole lessons just in five mins should be good.  +  Go and see other members of your group - JHA will be able to release you as needed. +  Post your successes/thoughts/ideas/failures onto the blog (share with your group).  
4. Take time.  There will be four allocated staff meeting times over the next 16 weeks.  But do seek more of your own time.  
5. Have fun.
