Thread: Personal
Subgroup: Individual/Group
Foci: 6 plus years
Program Title: Faculty formation for the already formed
Contact Person/Office: Jane Bleasdale ( bleasdalej@spprep.org )
School: St. Peter’s Prep
Program Description: The formation for the already formed group offers continued personal support and interaction for faculty beyond their first five years. We meet once or twice a year for lunch to rekindle old connections, and catch up with our peer group. Meetings are for years 5 – 10, 10 – 15 etc
Rationale: Teachers are busy people and rarely make time for themselves and their professional relationships during the school day. The connection with peers that began in a school at the same time as us is unique. This is an opportunity to celebrate commitment to mission, friendship, longevity and reminisce.
Leadership: Director of faculty formation schedules, conversation and meetings led informally by participants.
Implementation: Implemented by the director of faculty formation after discussions with veteran teachers about how best to support their mission
Processes and Resources: Once a semester scheduled, lunch provided
Finances: $1000 per year
Rewards: Increased conversation between departments, teachers feel appreciated, desire for more time to meet and collaborate.
Time (When/Length): Once a semester for one hour
Location/Space: Formation office
Accountability/Assessment: Verbal feedback, online surveys evaluating formation opportunities.
