EHSAS Leadership Meeting

On Thursday the 30th October members of the leadership teams for Red Beach and Gulf Harbour plus our observers met. The dialogue was centred on Michael Fullen's writing on Professional Learning Communities and our own personal research and thinking on the effects of coaching as a PD strategy on the achievement of students.
Our conversations around Michael Fullen's article looked at "five critical elements that underpin effective PLCs: reflective dialogue,de-privatization of practice, collective focus on student learning, collaboration,and shared norms and values." We reflected on the pressence of these elements in our own school and within our EHSAS Leadership group.
