Building a Sense of Community
In order for data teams to open their doors (and data) to one another, they need opportunities to get to know one another in authentic ways. Here are a few activities that could be intentionally implemented into our school meetings.
|
Try to get people out of their grade levels to build continuity throughout the school, and to foster vertical partnerships. Changing up groups and partners are also great for staff members without strong team support, or those who find their voice hidden among dominating personalities. |
Four Corners-great for discussions or jigsaws
5 minute Conversations-small groups
|
Friendly Competitions-ways to split into teams
Where I Stand-whole group activities
