1: P.D. for staff on applications -use of facilitator 2: Introduction of inquiry learning model. Curriculum development.

1: Part of a group, rather than just being on your own. You can share ideas- you can see examples of work really being done. 2: Gives an element of reality of where we are - we see that we are actually doing well. 3: Children are creating work which they haven't done before - teachers are empowered to try new things. 4: People have used pressure in a positive way to improve their skills. 5: Exciting, depressing, frustration, sometimes overwhelming. 6: 7: 8: ||

1: More principal's P.D. 2: Lead teacher having enough time to do P.D. with staff. 3: More funding directly towards 2 schools to help with 2 above. 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: ||
 * [[image:thinking-hats-review1955.005.jpg width="364" height="270"]] || Please type your ideas in here:

1: Make sure that we are only focussing on a few things but continue with the basic P.D. program. 2: Keep modelling for staff the successful outcomes - particularly looking at other schools. 3: Empowering teachers and children being motivated - children using computers as a 'normal' part of the school program. 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: ||

1: We feel that the first year was necessary - we may not have made lots of progress individually, but we exposed people to lots of different things. 2. Cluster conference 3: Schools opening up their schools for the afternoon so other schools can come and see what other schools are doing. Encouraging schools to visit other schools during class time within our own cluster schools. 4: Changing the mentor teacher each year. 5: Organise a catch-up day for new teachers to the cluster. 6: 7: 8: ||

1: Work the facilitator to death - it is her last year! 2: Schools need to set up their own structure that is going to allow for ongoing P.D. - planning for sustainability. 3: Our ideas for how it sits in an educational context is different for different teachers - seeing different ideas has been beneficial. 4: Invest P.D. time and staffing to ICT in some way. 5: Collaboration - reflection of what we are doing by critiquing between schools. 6: 7: 8: ||
