This year, with such a focus on instruction, one of the things we're trying to do is "de-privatize" our practice within classrooms. I'm taking a leap into this by offering to teach different math lessons for each grade level. I have to tell you . . . talk about "de-privatizing" something . . . especially with the fact I'm going to record the lesson and then we'll go over it in our grade level meetings! HA! I'm more than likely going to fall on my face, especially at the primary grades, but I'll try to make the fall as graceful as possible.
The work around de-privatizing our practice comes from our group we are working with and their push on us as administrators to focus on ourselves, making things as transparent as possible, and at the same time, focus on instruction and the ability for colleagues to watch each other in a non-threatening way.
I'm excited about this and the conversations that are going to come from it.
