One "Job Description" for everyone

Rules for Schools (@rules4schools) are not just for students.  At their best they are for everyone:

  • staff 
  • students
  • family members 
  • visitors....


One of the ways we make sense of the world is to  simplify it with "rules".

The following "rules" applied to everyone at Riverside Primary School (Launceston, Tasmania Australia)

Job Description
  1. Know what is happening
  2. Work with others to improve what is happening
  3. Make it easier for the next person to do well
The results were amazing - we used 97% of the available teacher time (including senior staff as teachers) for working directly with students.  In a school of 670 students there were times when no-one was "off-class".
