Today\u2019s post was written by Michelle Moore, professional development liaison for Hillsborough County Public Schools<\/em>.<\/p>\n Teachers need feedback for growth just like our students. Yet, any administrator will tell you there\u2019s simply not enough time to visit classrooms and provide teachers with meaningful and effective feedback in a timely manner.<\/p>\n As a professional development liaison, I travel to K-12 schools in Hillsborough County and see what support systems are in place for teacher growth. At almost every site, I see administrators struggling with the same issues\u2014high teacher to admin ratio and the tendency to get pulled into fixing operations issues. Very rarely does the administrator get to visit classrooms to provide teachers with meaningful feedback.<\/p>\n Enter Microsoft to save the day.<\/p>\n Bellamy Elementary School was selected last year to become a pilot 1:1 school. It was the perfect fit\u2014a Title I school with an amazing group of teachers and administrators to support students. I was excited to see how access to technology would affect student achievement.<\/p>\n But before the school year started and before students got their devices, my mind was blown.<\/p>\n Dr. Lazarus (principal) and Dr. Seits (assistant principal) at Bellamy, wanted to increase communication and collaboration among their teachers. They decided since most teachers planned on using OneNote<\/a> in the classroom, they would create a Staff Notebook<\/a> for the staff. We wanted them to use the Collaboration Space and Content Library permissions as well as “push” things out using the Class Notebook add-in<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They also wanted the Staff Notebook to be the \u201chub\u201d where teachers could go for anything related to the school. Dr. Seits had a genius idea. They would replace the paper feedback form teachers received in their mailboxes with a digital version added to their private OneNote notebook. In addition, the Staff Notebook gave teachers a way to digitally access faculty agendas and\u00a0professional development materials, as well as input school-wide data and so much more.<\/p>\nIntroducing the OneNote Staff Notebook<\/h3>\n
