A relatively short week, but filled with excitements.
attended the ACD meeting where the main focus was on our department's Action Plan (AP).
Trying to digest the AP, to understand it from the perspective of all the different units can be quite challenging. Getting all the teachers to understand the AP, to work towards the SAME goal/target is another major challenge.
Anna presented and did a very good job in sharing the AP with the whole department. Although it was quite a handful, I believe that everyone who was there that day was able to understand.
Coming up with the AP was a whole different matter. Anna and I sat down together a couple of times, and we cracked our heads and brains trying to decipher everything. Anna had already work out some of it, and I was there trying to look at it from another perspective. We thought that it will be good to make it as simple as possible, as clear as possible, so that everyone in the department will be able to understand.
We looked at the old AP, and tried to incorporate new values, goals and targets into the AP.
It has not been an easy task, but Anna held the fort and she managed to complete it.
For now, we just need to make sure that everyone in the department shares the SAME VISION and work towards it.
You have rightly pointed out that having all to share the same vision is crucial.
