1. Everyone working in the school should be observed
once a week and receive feedback.

Barth: By collegiality I mean
four things
•
One, teachers talking with one another about the work
they do -- talking in faculty meetings, in hallways, in
classrooms, at the dinner table about practice.
•
Second, sharing that craft knowledge, shouting it from
the mountaintop, and honoring it when someone else is
sharing it.
Barth
• Third, making our practice mutually visible. That is,
you come into my classroom and watch me teach
seventh-grade biology and I come into your
classroom and watch you teach ninth-grade
geometry, and, afterward, we talk about what we
are doing and why, and what we can learn from
each other.
• Above all, collegiality means rooting for the success
of one another. If every adult in the school is rooting
for you, when the alarm clock rings at six a.m., you
jump out of bed to go to that school
