Collective responsibility

Today's breifing is dedicated to collective responsibility to ensure a safe, clean and effective learning and working environment for all.

How do we do this? Well: 

• We're a team, one staff body as a whole
• Support each other 

There are 13 questions in today's quiz that focus on the main areas which we as a team need to be on the same page. 

It's not a competition; we encourage you to discuss the answers with your fellow colleagues so feel free to answer as a team. 

No questions or feedback today, but please do come see one of the Heads of Campus or Jessica at a later stage. 

We're about to begin, but before we do so I invite you to practise being Knowlegdable, Open-minded, Principaled, Reflective, and most of all Caring. 

Here we go...

4. Nothing

Said student now arrives 20 minutes into your lesson. What do you do?

1. Mark them as present
2. Mark them as late
3. Leave it red, they must learn to be on time!
4. Mark them as 20 mins late

Notes:

Had some fruitful follow ups with those who struggle to complete the register - some have creative solutions:

• a slide in PPT
• reminders using Google Calendar
• nominating a student 

Best to start with register and end with register. 

Issues with the app? Then use the web version it's much more reliable and comprehensive
