Today I was teaching the first of a series of CPPT lessons with 2 stage 1 classes where the only C - co operative or collaborative aspect was the teachers telling me what they wanted their classes to learn and me doing all of the preparation ... come to think of it that is how Cppt always seems to work unless you have a supportive executive staff who see the value of the programme and timetable planning blocks for you all. At the end of these first lessons the teachers commented on how good it was and that they learned stuff as well... isnt that the point share the brain power, the expertise the workload, learn from each other and improve student outcomes?? Phew!
Then there was a member of staff who actually gave up her recess time to come into the library to learn more about 'storybird' and discuss how we could implement its use with stage 2 during the term ... it really is quite stimulating/refreshing to share/bounce ideas of each other .... and then my next assignment came back ... bing bong ... back to reality!
