Investigate the options to engage in research and reflective practice
Steps You Can Take
READ AND REFLECT
...on a journal article relevant to your teaching or PLC.
- Book time with one of our librarians or a library technician to navigate professional databases (Teaching and Learning section - Libraries block in Green Room) and networks, drop by the CCBE to check out the selection of professional books and resources you can borrow.
- Review IBSC Global Research findings to discover how boys learn best
- Consider sharing your reflection for the Crescent Considers weekly blog
- Investigate the four research tiers you can connect with to enrich your practice. You need to do these in order to build your research and communication skills.
INVESTIGATE A CONFERENCE/WORKSHOP
...that is relevant to your annual goals.
- Review the CCBE Research Application and Ethical Considerations guidelines
- Schedule a meeting with your Head of School or manager to ensure you have the approvals needed to secure your attendance at the conference or workshop. It is important that this project be included in your yearly goals meeting.
- Meet with the ED of the CCBE to determine how you will communicate your new learnings to benefit your colleagues and the boys: you could do a submission for Crescent Considers, host a Micro-Professional Learning workshop in June or offer to host a Lunch & Learn or divisional meeting share back session.
