ulearn08

Will Richardson and Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach - spoke about Building a community of practice - the best ones  are the ones that are co=owned  -it is about sharing....we need to move away from imposed norms...co-creative... isn't that we are aspiring for? We have started with a model and what we want now is for people to be taking ownership. There are four distinct stages
1. Sharing ...
2 .cooperate
3. collaborate
4. act collectively for change
I can see strong parallels to what we are trying to achieve at North. At each stage we need to build heaps of opportunities for sharing.
Our timeline allows for this. We have linked the timeline to our staff meeting overview ... I believe this is where I can show strong leadership and perhaps keep us all sane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
