Team Two's collaborative planning has become multi-tiered.
Team Two began 2018 collaboratively planning overviews such as LT and weekly planning. From this we worked in teams of two for ongoing weekly planning, ensuring equal distribution of work load. e.g. alternating big book with oral/written langauge. Sophie and John, Mel and Sally.
Over the first two terms our weekly planning evolved. First still as teams of two but we had combined planning meetings. We now have one team weekly plan with continued focus on equal distribution of work load.
At the start of term 2 we again planned our overviews for the term together. Specific responsibilities were allocated, e.g. I was responsible for Inquiry/report writing resources.
Wherever possible we collaboratively planned across our Teams of two, e.g. those planning writing worked together and depending on resource availability likewise for big book and poem. e.g. Mel and Sophie writing and John and Sally big book/poem. This ensures consistency of progamme and curriculum coverage.
For other curriculum areas such as The Arts and P.E. we utilised teacher strengths and interests. Although we may not have collaboratvely planned lessons we made a joint decision about who had the responsibility for planning. For P.E. John planned hockey lessons and Mel and John work collaboratively teaching these. Sophie and Sally take dance and I had the responsibility for the planning. Mel and Sophie have both planned Visual Art lessons. Mel Term 1 and Sophie Term 2.
