input from staff

I just sent a message to all staff asking for their examples or suggestions about establishing expectations. Hope I get a good response.

Talked to Colleen this morning too, and saw Douglas and John yesterday. So I feel a lot more positive about how things are going, even if it is slowly.

John and I are going to meet next week to look at how to improve the collation process. Susan and I are having lunch on Tuesday, and she has plans in place for working with her team and faculty. Douglas is also planning to present information about TROPIC to his team next week and to run a microskills workshop with RATEP early next year.

Colleen suggested to me today that we make sure we have a high profile at the staff PD day next September.

Wow! I've already had 3 responses - Donna came up and talked to me about how she had learned about microskills at uni - I gave her a copy of the booklet. Another Donna emailed me to say she has requested that the teaching staff in her section respond as they have some examples. And Mike just phoned me and told me about what they do in Outdoor Rec, where they spend 2 hours with students on their first camp drawing up a working agreement using the headings respect, safety, participation and 'non-negotiable'. The students then use the same procedure when they are running activities eg with school groups. Brilliant stuff!
