Time
Teachers' time is valuable because there is always something to do, so the time spent on each PL will be short but significant. Where doubts are objectively resolved in each meeting, some surveys will also be implemented through google Forms to use the PL's time shortly and aimed at clarifying doubts and supporting those teachers who need it.
Support
Throughout the implementation and learning process of the BL approach, teachers will receive support at all times, either during the PL meetings or through the google form.
Active
Engage teachers in an active way where they feel comfortable learning.
Modeling
Observing strategies implemented in this case BL approach is the best situation for teachers to have highly qualified teaching practice. In my PL meetings, the teachers will watch videos where the BL approach is implemented, and there will also be a BL expert who will support the modeling of the BL approach.
Content
The content will be exclusive to prekindergarten teachers. Also, the BL approach and prekindergarten guidelines will be integrated into all planning for a better result.
Foster Collaboration
During the process of learning about the project, teachers may meet during conference time. During this time, they will have the opportunity to discuss any doubts that may arise during the process. They can also make the necessary adjustments to have a better result.
Who Lead
Mrs. Carreon, the BL leader, and I will help teachers with any doubts about implementing the BL approach in the classroom, mainly to have a BL environment.
Audience and Needs
Learning about the BL approach is essential for teachers to be clear about implementing it in the classroom. During the learning process, teachers can access all the information online, where they can review it in their own time and space. They will also have the support of the BL leader to help them with the individual needs of each teacher and her students.
