Thinking about institutional support and departmental context
As a postscript to this course, let's think about institutional support and departmental context.
Think about how your current school, or other schools in the past that you’ve worked in were structured. Were you given the time you needed to develop curriculum together? Would you have had time in your day to sit down with other teacher and develop groupworthy tasks? Would the way instructional time and bell schedules were structured support doing complex instruction in your classroom? Think about your past experiences and what an ideal school environment would look like, and what kind of changes would have to be made to your working conditions.. Share your thoughts below.
