Monday, September 22, 2014. Collaboration: Inquire using evidence for change and improvement (and transformation? In this post I am sharing some more of my expertise from my research on collaboration. Later in the post I reflect on transformation - a new area of interest over the past year that is challenging my thinking and practice about inquiry, change and improvement. I welcome your comments on my thinking as I am still learning in this space. Inquiry Learning and Action Spiral. Learn and discuss str...

Rebbecca Sweeney: Beyond Goals | Scrapping Goals in a Complex, Fast-changing Environment
http://rebbeccasweeney.blogspot.com/2015/05/beyond-goals-scrapping-goals-in-complex.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. Beyond Goals Scrapping Goals in a Complex, Fast-changing Environment. Lately I've been getting obsessed with Carol Dweck's. Alongside this I've been getting obsessed with Guy Claxton's. From the recent CPPA Breakfast Session. I've also blogged before. About being future focused - there is so much to think about in this space and I encourage clusters to create their own definitions of future focused education from all of the thinking and research available. This quote above aligns ni...

Tuesday, August 19, 2014. Collaboration: sharing is not enough. My first blogpost is about sharing some of my expertise with you. This is an introduction to collaboration. Have a read and ask me some questions! Over the next few months I will write a series of blog entries that describe all the practices that you need to have present in your network for effective collaboration to occur:. Firestone, W. A., and Pennell, J. R. (1997). Designing State-Sponsored Teacher Networks: A Compari...Head, G. (200...

Monday, March 9, 2015. 2015 Focusing, taking action, change, and future focused innovation in clusters and networks. In 2014 I worked with three clusters made up of primary, secondary and early childhood leaders and teachers. I facilitated the cluster leaders through a process to rethink their cluster vision, goals and plans using the Spiral of Inquiry. Resources came in very handy. This year, those three clusters will be continuing to work with me to move through the Spiral of Inquiry as they continue t...

Rebbecca Sweeney: Collaboration: Ensure role clarity & build relational trust
http://rebbeccasweeney.blogspot.com/2014/11/collaboration-ensure-role-clarity-build.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. Collaboration: Ensure role clarity and build relational trust. In my previous post about revisiting purpose and countering competition. I start to talk about building trust because it is so integral to many other aspects of collaboration. In this post I talk a little bit more about the practices that build relational trust. Practices schools should and should not use to foster role clarity and building of relational trust. School practitioners rather than for them. Build capa...

Rebbecca Sweeney: #edchatnz conference meme
http://rebbeccasweeney.blogspot.com/p/edchatnz-meme.html
I've caved in to the pressure to become part of the #edchatnz conference meme and as it's not quite in line with the overall purpose of my thoughtmongering, I've created my meme in this static page. For tagging me in your meme and Terry. For doing the same ;). Also if you don't know what the heck a meme is go here. I like to think I am doing the "mutate" version.but sadly I'm probably just responding to selective pressures. 1 How did you attend the #Edchatnz Conference? Sign up for Twitter. Discovery, in...

Connectivity Corner: August 2014
http://drdarlkolb.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Professor Darl Kolb considers the connects and disconnects of contemporary life. Thursday, August 28, 2014. Uniting Analogue and Digital. This week I had the privilege of visiting Taupaki Primary School in a rural area just outside Auckland. I was invited by a friend who is on the school board, who said, 'you've got to see our 10-12-year olds rapid prototyping and digital printing their own design projects.'. It was worth it! Taupaki School is currently on its third generation of digital printers, wherea...

If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth. Mitsugi Saotome. Thursday, March 06, 2014. Digital learning futures: a speculation: trends with existing technologies. Mobile phones are a game-changer. The power of twitter.

Sunday, August 31, 2014. Collaboration: Focus on a common needs-based goal that requires you to learn and improve. Network members should set a common goal related to identified needs and aim to learn and improve. In this area. If a network identifies a common goal based on limited analysis of evidence and aims to share. Planning and professional learning resources, they would not be practising the most effective collaboration. Timperley and Earl, 2012, pp. 40-41). The picture I often draw to explain mac...
