Build Professional Collaboration and Staff Wellbeing
Opportunities will be expanded for staff to strengthen collective efficacy and professional collaboration in a culture of mutual care.
October 2024 Priority Review by SCAP Reviewers
| Strategic Priority One: | Build Professional Collaboration and Staff Wellbeing |
|---|---|
| Why is this important | Staff perception data from 2022-23 indicated a need for renewed contribution to collaborating with leaders as well as communication. Time was indicated as a professional need to increase collaboration. Studies in collective efficacy (professional collaboration) give evidence to the impact this has on student growth. When staff are well, contributing, and supported, students are better prepared for success. |
