CP's

Collaborative pairs or 'CP's' for short...a shift away from the traditional school structure of 3 syndicates - junior, middle and senior - to a more collaborative style of teaching/management, where teachers work in pairs of their choosing. This gave us the opportunity to work with a buddy to help implement school wide initiatives and to delve deeply into Teacher Inquiries. Interestingly, those who were 'like-minded' paired up. It was intended that these CP's would meet regularly, breaking the traditional need for syndicate meetings and that CP's would share their learning at staff meetings. We saw this as a prime opportunity to pursue our interest in Modern Learning Environments and collaborative or team teaching. From this SECRET 67 HQ was born. Two rooms and a cloakbay, converted on a shoe string to become a MLE, with two teachers keen to work together to see what difference they could make 'team teaching'.
