The beauty of sharing best practice - Ann-Marie Connor How often, when we need inspiration or fresh ideas, do we turn to our colleagues? Long gone, thankfully, are the days when teachers worked in isolation and when asking for help was sometimes regarded as a sign of weakness. Instead, we have found a common ground, sharing ideas and teaching strategies and working together to give our students the best education possible. We know that the most important thing to a young person’s success is the teacher in front of them.! Hopefully our professional development programme, on a Wednesday afternoon, is helping to foster this approach as we get the opportunity to work together as a whole staff, in our
faculties and departments and within small groups as part of our action research projects. Together we are building a shared educational vision. Simple though it sounds, we believe our purpose is to make sure that all our students are learning.! As we swap best practice and work to reach students in new ways, we are making a commitment to our own continuous personal improvement. Thanks to the power of collective intelligence and collaboration we are striving to become better teachers while saving precious planning time by sharing and exchanging ideas. In the words of Henry Ford, “if everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.”
