I think that there are dangers in setting out the 'minimum' engagement levels. Rather to highlight the possibilities. There is a good read on PLG's on the Edutopia website here. Basically the point is to keep the focus of the group on learning (the L in PLG). To anticipate that all of the teachers will use their professionalism to add to the community.
The primary actions you will be expected to do include...
- Being open minded - you're aiming to expand your practice. Move from the theory (where you'll be most comfortable) into the classroom (where you'll learn the most).
- Putting yourself out there - giving the project/actions are genuine series of efforts. Being an a tangible PLG (like Flipped Classrooms) gives you ample opportunity.
- Share your experiences - + Invite others into your room with goal of seeing your implementations. Not necessarily whole lessons just in five mins should be good. + Go and see other members of your group - JHA will be able to release you as needed. + Post your successes/thoughts/ideas/failures onto the blog (share with your group).
- Take time. There will be four allocated staff meeting times over the next 16 weeks. But do seek more of your own time.
- Have fun.
