Having worked in many different schoo...I LOVE this! Having worked in many different schools I can so relate to this! As a new member of staff it is quite daunting offering an idea beginning with 'at my old school....' I know at my previous school they were very threatened by any suggestions and ideas when presented with AMOS, replying with...'that's not how we do things here' or' we have always done it like this'. However, at my 'new' school when I begin with AMOS I see their ears prick up with interest and they are open to listening and have even gone ahead and implemented some suggestions. I think it just goes hand in hand with growth mindset, collaboration and future teaching and learning. With the way education is going we need to be open to suggestions, sometimes you don't know what you don't know and having an outsider's (new to staff) perspective is often very useful. Embrace AMOS!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991573963349864465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372872358103910013.post-35796909347726047442016-08-21T13:30:45.541-07:002016-08-21T13:30:45.541-07:00I like the 'welcoming hug' concept.

It's time to give AMOS a welcoming hug!Mrs Hydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684877786952444980noreply@blogger.com
