Part of the new teacher evaluation system in Georgia, CLASS Keys, involves professionalism. One of the professionalism standards states, "P 2.1 The teacher strives to establish respectful and productive relationships
and cooperative partnerships with families and the community in order to
support student learning and well-being." Since my school system is small (one high school, one middle school, and three elementary schools), one of our goals to meet this professionalism standard is to meet with other grade-level teachers to align what is being taught from K-12 in our subject area. Since we are all at different schools with different planning times and all professional development days have been cut, we are trying to come up with creative ways to "meet." My current project involves creating a blog for ELA teachers in Heard County. This blog will serve as a place for the teachers to get together at the most convenient time for each individual teacher to share ideas and strategies for teaching ELA. This technology will provide a much better alternative than trying to get all of those teachers physically together while still giving us an opportunity to collaborate and share our thoughts.
