Kate Garand. STEM Instructional Coach at Dedham Middle School. #DedhamPSEdTech

A1: A big part of the training and literature that the instructional coaches have taken part in/read, in Dedham includes the importance of relationship building, getting to know teachers and what they really want for their students. Trust being the cultural goal. #DedhamPSEdTech

A3: School-wide Expectations Committee to brainstorm solutions for topics of concern- identified by staff. #DedhamPSEdTech

A4: I was glad to see that Shelly P mentioned earlier the importance of teams making sure they prioritize discussions of student concern- Even when short on time. Needs to happen to foster positive/ caring cultures. #DedhamPSEdTech

A5: The “things” that seem to best cultivate positive culture are those that happen organically, without too much planning. Everyday sincerity, support and genuine interest in each others’ efforts. #DedhamPSEdTech

Q6: Involve staff and students to take part in the goal-setting process, inside the classroom and beyond-allowing everyone to see themselves in the process. #DedhamPSEdTEch
