Lets start...Q1 whats the difference between a group of people and a team of people #atplc

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:06 PM EST

A team is going to support each other in ALL aspects to reach their goal. A group is people that come together with no real goals #atplc

trishgoosen Jan 12 @ 9:06 PM EST

Trish, vice principal from cold Manitoba #atplc

WinkelerD Jan 12 @ 9:06 PM EST

A1: Group=everyone plays an individual role for an overall goal. Team=everyone pitches in for common goal. #atplc

MattSpence15 Jan 12 @ 9:06 PM EST

A group involvespeople that have time and space in common. A team has vision, goals, accountability #atplc

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:07 PM EST

does everyone on that team play an equal role? #atplc

WinkelerD Jan 12 @ 9:06 PM EST

A1: Group=everyone plays an individual role for an overall goal. Team=everyone pitches in for common goal. #atplc

iamterrihowell Jan 12 @ 9:07 PM EST

Group of people coexist together where a team works together towards a common purpose #atplc

WinkelerD Jan 12 @ 9:07 PM EST

good catch. In THEORY...yes. #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:08 PM EST

great thought Matt...who is the team accountable to? #atplc

MattSpence15 Jan 12 @ 9:06 PM EST

A group involvespeople that have time and space in common. A team has vision, goals, accountability #atplc

BKd204Sci Jan 12 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1 A group can be random set of Ts for a common goal Teams are formed with chemistry of individuals in mind is important to reach Ss #atplc

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:08 PM EST

Shouldn't be in theory, a true team holds each other to a standard of performance and accountability #atplc

In reply to @WinkelerD, @fris_trex

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:09 PM EST

#atplc Brian, where does that chemistry come from?

BKd204Sci Jan 12 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1 A group can be random set of Ts for a common goal Teams are formed with chemistry of individuals in mind is important to reach Ss #atplc

trishgoosen Jan 12 @ 9:09 PM EST

A group smiles, nods. A team questions, pushes, supports #atplc

MattSpence15 Jan 12 @ 9:10 PM EST

A team mate is accountable other team members, and other groups tied to the vision and goals. #atplc

In reply to @PrincipalManley, @WinkelerD

Often from group wrk in past. Groups are pre-cursors to Teams #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

and what happens if a team member cannot hold another accountable? #Atplc

In reply to @fris_trex, @PrincipalManley

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST

each other, whatever group their serving (for us students, parents, etc.) #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex, @WinkelerD

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST

to me another distinction is that group members are often times only accountable to themselves or a superior :( #atplc

In reply to @MattSpence15

WinkelerD Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST

Accountable to their grade level Principal, fellow Ts in the dept, students, parents, community #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex, @PrincipalManley

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST

then you need to have honest talk with team and find out if you have right people on the team. #atplc

Q2: How does your school organize teachers into collaborative teams? #atplc

WinkelerD Jan 12 @ 9:13 PM EST

establishing norms is huge. #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

WinkelerD Jan 12 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: we go based on subjects taught. We want to group like minded subjects. #atplc

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:14 PM EST

#atplc GIGANTIC!!

WinkelerD Jan 12 @ 9:13 PM EST

establishing norms is huge. #atplc

#atplc Dan, is it by subject and grade level or just subject?

In reply to @WinkelerD

trishgoosen Jan 12 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2: mostly by grade groups #atplc

WinkelerD Jan 12 @ 9:15 PM EST

I'd go as far as saying you need to establish/revise them at the beginning of each school year. #atplc

In reply to @linda_peace1, @fris_trex

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:16 PM EST

Travis, same subject, same grade level? #atplc

In reply to @PrincipalManley

MattSpence15 Jan 12 @ 9:16 PM EST

If those things don't work, supervisor must be involved. #atplc

In reply to @WinkelerD, @fris_trex, @PrincipalManley

trishgoosen Jan 12 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2: also leadership and PBIS #atplc

BKd204Sci Jan 12 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2 Always a work in progress! ID those leaders who can be egoless S-centered T to #MoveYourBus forward #atplc

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:16 PM EST

grade level, all T's teach all subjects. So K team, 1st grade team, etc. #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:16 PM EST

#atplc We are organized by subject and grade level...example Math 7 is a Team and so on

linda_peace1 Jan 12 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2-#atplc we are in grade level

WinkelerD Jan 12 @ 9:17 PM EST

.@fris_trex ultimately it is by subject matter taught (Science, math, business, etc). Then it goes by courses (bio, chem, etc). #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:17 PM EST

other site teams (leadership, culture, intervention, etc.) are representative from each grade level. #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

previously at MS I was principal at, we were singletons, so we organized as teams across subjects but same grade level. #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:19 PM EST

#atplc Would you describe the teams in your building as "groups" or "teams"?

MattSpence15 Jan 12 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: At SHS teams are organized by department and course. #atplc

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:19 PM EST

Yes, these are my "PLC leads" they lead and report on the work, next steps, struggles, supports needed, etc. #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

I would describe the business department as a team. We all bring something to the table for the greater good of the Ss. #Atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

BKd204Sci Jan 12 @ 9:20 PM EST

Definitely teams Have to have that common bond sense of day to day wrk with Ss #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:20 PM EST

#atplc What makes a leadership team then Terri

BKd204Sci Jan 12 @ 9:21 PM EST

Teams are pseudo-families #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

iamterrihowell Jan 12 @ 9:21 PM EST

I would say some are groups while others are teams #atplc

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:22 PM EST

Here's a crucial one Q3...What resources and support does your school provide for your teacher teams to ensure success? #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:26 PM EST

So true...I believe we need multiple voices and multiple viewpoints represented on the LT #atplc

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:24 PM EST

I can argue both sides of this and have tried both sides. Pros and cons to each.
In reply to @fris_trex

trishgoosen Jan 12 @ 9:27 PM EST

Grade teams meet once/cycle for one period w/add'l time given. Principal and myself take classes outside #atplc

MattSpence15 Jan 12 @ 9:27 PM EST

We organized our lunches at SHS by department and allowed that time to count as PLC time if teams met, w/agendas, etc. #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:27 PM EST

During Friday spirit assembly, T's get released for additional time #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:27 PM EST

We've been able to work our master schedule to allow our teacher teams to have common preps everyday..teams will meet during their #atplc

BKd204Sci Jan 12 @ 9:28 PM EST

Do you feel that is enough? Our #PLC by dept meets weekly & growth is evident in practices #atplc

In reply to @trishgoosen

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:28 PM EST

we did that same thing when I was at the high school level. Do you find it effective? #atplc

In reply to @linda_peace1

iamterrihowell Jan 12 @ 9:29 PM EST

Most of our teams have common preps. Our district has worked in early out days that take place monthly and Mondays after school #atplc

fris_trex Jan 12 @ 9:30 PM EST

How often do your teams meet? #atplc

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:30 PM EST

as effective as the teams use that time. Time can be found but some teams use 30min better than teams that get 1.5hrs #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

linda_peace1 Jan 12 @ 9:30 PM EST

#atplc grade level teams also have common planning time for CLT

#atplc our teams meet "formally" at least once a week...many of our teams meet more than that...50 minutes

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:32 PM EST

It really is about quality time vs. quantity allotted. Some teams do more in 30min than others do in 1.5hours. #atplc

MattSpence15 Jan 12 @ 9:32 PM EST

120 minutes a month (bi-weekly) and 1 or 2 half days a month. #atplc

In reply to @fris_trex

WinkelerD Jan 12 @ 9:33 PM EST

do Ts actually take advantage of that? Is it every day they meet? What does it look like? #Atplc

In reply to @linda_peace1

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:33 PM EST

We do. Coach, AP and myself rotate through the teams, with some teams having more support. #atplc

In reply to @iamterrihowell, @fris_trex

#atplc it's important to take it slow and make sure everyone is on the same page

linda_peace1 Jan 12 @ 9:52 PM EST

#atplc the admin team also particpates in CLT does drop in for alignment

PrincipalManley Jan 12 @ 9:52 PM EST

Also a great sight is observing a team of veteran teachers "teach" our first year teachers about being engaged in the "right work" #atplc

I know I'm not moderator but I am curious from T's what is one thing you wish admin did to support your teams in PLC process? #atplc
