Class+Expectations

I am hoping to learn how to effectively lead staff in professional development. From this class, I would like to learn new tools and strategies that could be used in the classroom and that could be beneficial for teachers to use in the classroom. I would also like to learn how to motivate and encourage my staff to begin to implement these tools into the classroom, without overwhelming them. My goal would be to create a positive learning environment, in which, they felt comfortable to ask questions and request help.

I think assignments/activities in this class should be graded using a rubric. This makes it easier for us to know what the expectations are before we submit an assignment and allows us to specifically identify our strengths and weaknesses within the assignment when we are assessed.
