Becoming the Kind of Person Every Team Wants.

Hello team we are up and running! I am so excited to be part of this team! It is time for some new comments on our blog. As we move into our PLC process I have been studying like mad. Currently I am reading "Becoming the Kind of Person Every Team Wants." As a team member I want to be as valuable to you as possible. One thing that I read in this book really caught my attention. "To collaborative team members, completing one another is more important than competing with one another." I thought I would put this out on the blog to get some thoughts from you about it. How can we work at seeing teammates as collaborators and not competitors? How can we work at being supportive and not suspicious of each other? What are some ways that we can concentrate on team rather than ourselves and our own classrooms? How can we create victories through collaboration? How can we develop the habit of asking what is best for the team? How do we celebrate the successes of others without feeling slighted ourselves? How can we celebrate our strengths and help with weaknesses? These are some questions to get you thinking. Tell me what you think Branson Intermediate! Lets hear it loud and proud!
