Overview of modules

Learning Walk

‘…organised and highly structured collaborative enquiry ‘walks’ through the classrooms of a school by colleagues from that (and other) school(s) in order to identify evidence of progress and areas for development. They included short visits to classrooms by a team of people who work together to collect evidence, learn about what is happening and ask questions. They are intended to be constructive rather than judgemental and aim to help the school understand how teachers teach, how learners learn and what gets taught to whom and when.’

Belonging…

What is a team?

Leaders should be trustworthy, and this worthiness is an important virtue.

Without trust leaders lose credibility. This loss poses difficulties to leaders

as they seek to call people to respond to their responsibilities. The painful

alternative is to be punitive, seeking to control people through

manipulation or coercion. But trust is a virtue in other ways too. The

building of trust is an organizational quality. …Once embedded in the

culture of the school, trust works to liberate people to be their best, to

give others their best, and to take risks.

Belbin’s Team Roles

Which one are you?

Some questions for you -

Why have you chosen this trait?

Give examples of what makes you like this?

How do you respond to sudden deadlines?

How assertive are you?

How easy do you find it to say no?

Belbin’s Team Roles

Can you recognise traits of those you work

with?

Can see where the strengths and weaknesses

of your team may lie? Where are the gaps?

What do you think this might mean in terms of

team work?

• Celebrating – and making the most of – individual

differences

• The message is that there is room for everyone in the

team

• All positive contributions are welcome.

Getting the best out of your team
