What to post?

This space is just to share feedback about things you learned when you went out visiting another school. Here are a couple of suggestions:

  • Time: Plan on taking about the amount of time visiting as you would for a monthly meeting.
  • Before: the visit- arrange a time and location, think of what you would like to learn or what goals you have for the visit. 
  • During: Ask questions, observe, take notes...soak in as much of the goodies as you can!
    • find at least one thing you would like to try at your home school
    • find things you need to "borrow"- resources, schedules, planning forms, idea
  • After- 
    • think about what you have observed and how it could positively affect your school
    • chat with your staff about your visit
    • write a brief (may 1 paragraph, maybe one page) blog post about your visit
Then be refreshed and ready to tackle all the things you love about your school!
