Create Team Calendar

Purpose

Creating a team calendar facilitates communication and ensures focuses meetings. Prior to developing a team calendar, schools develop a School-Wide Team Meeting Map that outlines team structures and purposes for meeting. The completion of the School-Wide Team Meeting Map should be led by the SBLT with staff involvement. Schools also complete an Assessment Map that identifies the types of data sources that are available to teams, purpose for use and when they are available. The two resource maps will help inform the teacher teams as they develop their Teacher Team Planning Calendar. The Teacher Team Planning Calendar helps teams stay focused and communicate with the SBLT, other teams, and additional staff as appropriate.

When to Use

Calendars should be completed by the beginning of the school year. Teams should review the Meeting Map on a regular basis to help and update as appropriate and necessary.

How to Use

1. As a school, identify all teacher teams in the school.

2. As a school, complete the School-Wide Meeting Map and Assessment Map

3. Develop a Teacher Team Planning Calendar including your teacher team meetings and dates

4. Regular review your meeting calendar and make adjustments as appropriate Example School-Wide Team Meeting Map
