Dear colleages! In this opportunity, we want to open our own discussion about Teams, considering our different internships at school and academic knowledge so far. The question to wonder this time is, how do teams contribute to our high teaching-learning performance in the classroom?
Teachers do play a key role in shaping teamwork. Most importantly, some of them are accepted as leaders in a team to deal positively with group issues. So, how does one become a teacher leader? From our required reading understanding group and individuals, "the core role of leaders is to help the group to achieve its common task, to maintain it as a unity and to ensure that each individual contributes his best". Undoubtedly, to be a teacher leader in teams become a major challenge to build language, skills, projects in the classroom and lead our colleages in rethinking practice, performance and powerfully collaborate together. Give teamwork a chance, it is worth the effort!
What about department head? How could you define their roles inside an institution? How would you and colleagues deal with a problematic or authoritarian department head?
