Vision for Adult Learning Communities

We believe that change happens through collaborative teams. Through the thoughtful use of these tools and resources, learning communities can work toward the vision below.
​
All teachers in a learning community will work together to
  • Continue to deepen our practice of collaboration;
  • Treat teaching as groupworthy; 
  • Take collective responsibility for the department and all students, holding high expectations and a common vision for what it means to be a math learner; 
  • Continue to work towards strengthening collective knowledge of content and of teaching within and across grade levels through reflection and refinement; 
  • Each year, attend to community safety (in order to be vulnerable) and to building on each other’s unique strengths, so that our team grows and develops, working towards sustainability.
