It's that time of year when I am thinking almost all the time about what the school's in house CPD programme should look like for the next academic year. And what do those letters stand for?
C - continuing, collaborative, career
P - professional, pedagogical
D - development .... 0r should it be L for Learning as @wjputt said recently on Twitter
I was having a chat with a Hayley Allan (who does a lot of work on reflective practice with a range of professionals http://educatingtrainers.blogspot.com/) and we got on to the topic of team building projects and whether these can ever really work. Now this sparked an interest for me because I was planning to have a face to face and an online module on that very theme next year. But Hayley made me think when she said "what we need is to train individuals to be capable of being part of any team". That's not verbatim so I hope I've got it about right, Hayley.
So I'd be grateful for any comments or thoughts about this, please. Should we work with a team to help them develop and understand comeplemntary skills and aptitudes or with the team 'leader' to help her/him do that? or both? or should we work with everyone to explain and develop how important it is to work as part of a team (often times) and how to do that?
