More Respect, Less Stress, Better Solutions - When Listening to Teachers is a Way of Working in a School System

If educators are asked to haphazardly contribute ideas and insights apart from school improvement processes - say, only during a single PD workshop facilitated by a consultant! - it can feel disingenuous and be ineffective in shaping smart solutions. When harnessing the collective knowledge and creativity of the team is a central way of working, schools develop better solutions and also reduce teacher stress and improve teacher respect.
