More Heads are Better than One...

As I have been completing my principal internship I have been considering what school structures need to be in place to foster project based leanring and teaching.  I also have loved the chance to visit other schools to see how they operate.  One idea that I came away with is that part of the shared leadership in one building its that they have a PBL team.  This is a project based learning team is made up of teachers and parents who are interested.  Part of this team job is review projects and serve as a think tank to enhance the project.  I really liked the idea for quality control, more head generating more ideas around the project and the collaboration it would build.  We have done something similiar on our staff with our expeditions and several people have mentioned the power of doing something like that again.
