Monday, September 22, 2014. Collaboration: Inquire using evidence for change and improvement (and transformation? In this post I am sharing some more of my expertise from my research on collaboration. Later in the post I reflect on transformation - a new area of interest over the past year that is challenging my thinking and practice about inquiry, change and improvement. I welcome your comments on my thinking as I am still learning in this space. Inquiry Learning and Action Spiral. Learn and discuss str...

Rebbecca Sweeney: Beyond Goals | Scrapping Goals in a Complex, Fast-changing Environment
http://rebbeccasweeney.blogspot.com/2015/05/beyond-goals-scrapping-goals-in-complex.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. Beyond Goals Scrapping Goals in a Complex, Fast-changing Environment. Lately I've been getting obsessed with Carol Dweck's. Alongside this I've been getting obsessed with Guy Claxton's. From the recent CPPA Breakfast Session. I've also blogged before. About being future focused - there is so much to think about in this space and I encourage clusters to create their own definitions of future focused education from all of the thinking and research available. This quote above aligns ni...

Have a read and ask me some questions! Over the next few months I will write a series of blog entries that describe all the practices that you need to have present in your network for effective collaboration to occur:. Firestone, W.

Monday, March 9, 2015. 2015 Focusing, taking action, change, and future focused innovation in clusters and networks. In 2014 I worked with three clusters made up of primary, secondary and early childhood leaders and teachers. I facilitated the cluster leaders through a process to rethink their cluster vision, goals and plans using the Spiral of Inquiry. Resources came in very handy. This year, those three clusters will be continuing to work with me to move through the Spiral of Inquiry as they continue t...

Rebbecca Sweeney: Collaboration: Ensure role clarity & build relational trust
http://rebbeccasweeney.blogspot.com/2014/11/collaboration-ensure-role-clarity-build.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. Collaboration: Ensure role clarity and build relational trust. In my previous post about revisiting purpose and countering competition. I start to talk about building trust because it is so integral to many other aspects of collaboration. In this post I talk a little bit more about the practices that build relational trust. Practices schools should and should not use to foster role clarity and building of relational trust. School practitioners rather than for them. Build capa...

Rebbecca Sweeney: #edchatnz conference meme
http://rebbeccasweeney.blogspot.com/p/edchatnz-meme.html
I've caved in to the pressure to become part of the #edchatnz conference meme and as it's not quite in line with the overall purpose of my thoughtmongering, I've created my meme in this static page. For tagging me in your meme and Terry. For doing the same ;). Also if you don't know what the heck a meme is go here. I like to think I am doing the "mutate" version.but sadly I'm probably just responding to selective pressures. 1 How did you attend the #Edchatnz Conference? Sign up for Twitter. Discovery, in...

Sunday, August 31, 2014. Collaboration: Focus on a common needs-based goal that requires you to learn and improve. Network members should set a common goal related to identified needs and aim to learn and improve. In this area. If a network identifies a common goal based on limited analysis of evidence and aims to share. Planning and professional learning resources, they would not be practising the most effective collaboration. Timperley and Earl, 2012, pp. 40-41). The picture I often draw to explain mac...

Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Collaboration: Revisiting Purpose and Countering Competition. Schools can keep their focus on their combined student needs and set up agreements and protocols between them that enable collaboration while acknowledging the competition. For learners, the benefits of leaders and teachers continuing the collaboration across schools outweigh the benefits of schools working alone to keep a competitive edge.
