Leading Learning Communities - Lynchburg and Richmond VA

This past February, the Virginia Association of Elementary School Principals and DSC partnered to put on a mini-conference on leading learning communities. I gave the keynote sessons. Sue Wilder, Isabel McLean, and Linda Rourke did small-group sessions, and we had a panel of school leaders close our day by sharing their experiences working with us on lesson study. Both days sessions were filled to capacity. We had lots of thoughtful questions and provocative comments. 

We spent much of our time exploring why forming healthy teams are critical to a school's success. We unpacked strategies for building and sustaining teams. We also discussed how to address some of the very real barriers we have to establishing thoughtful teams of collaborative teachers.

For those of you that came I have attached the presentation files from the small group sessions at the bottom of this post. We hope you had as much fun we we did. We thank you for learning with us!
