1) Provide Google accounts for all students.
2) Allow students to bring in their own laptops and mobile devices to connect to the Internet through the filters.
3) Instead of staff in-service days, close the buildings and allow teachers to learn from home. They could research their own topics and do their own learning, take online flex sessions provided by expert teachers, or design and offer the sessions themselves to earn flex. And don't require fewer flex hours; require more.
4) Administrators, staff developers, managers, supervisors, coaches, coordinators -- everyone with a teaching license -- should teach at least one class as part of their jobs, allowing everyone involved in policy making the ability to try out their ideas and practice what we preach.
5) Provide on-demand support from coaches for teachers who need assistance, allowing them to do professional development in response to actual classroom needs.
Any other suggestions? Please share in the comments below.
See you next Tuesday!
