Our Professional Learning Plan

Purposeful Growth – developing common practice

We intend to continue to send teams (3 or more) of teachers to learning opportunities around inquiry and deeper learning.  We have budgeted for Proferssional development in house, and also to support this initiative. 

 

•   Harvard Graduate School - we are looking into enrolling teams for some of these courses.

•   Collaboration structure in our School Learning Plan for Teachers to work together on building authentic projects. 

 

Developing Common language around our Practice

 

  • We are working on developing some common language around our teaching and learning that will provide our students some continuity as they move through their school career at Myrtle Philip.

 

 

How is our budget aligned with this School Learning Plan?

 

  • Budget will support the funding for Professional learning teams to experience rich learning opportunities like the on-line course at Harvard.

  • Budget will support the additional allocation for release time for teachers.  

  • Supporting learning resources for hands-on learning (maker space resources and Garden project resources)

  • PAC has aligned to support school in investing in Teacher professional Development opportunities.
