As I continue to read about the various models of IL it makes me more excited and nervous for the year ahead. I am leaning towards the ISP model as something I would like to explore with the school staff in my new role as TL this year. I guess the question is when and how I broach the subject of collaboration.
As I began this course in November I thought it was leading my to become a stand-alone teacher, something which made me quite anxious. For the last 4 years I have been working as a classroom teacher, always working in a collaborative team of 3 or 4 teachers. Working as part of a team has always brought more benefits with it than it has negatives. Therefore, the thought of working alone was not seeming like an attractive prospect. As this subject and my understanding has developed I have reaslied that I am actually still going to be part of a team, however, now I have the opportunity to be a part of several teams.
