You are a valuable part of our TEAM
Cowwarr Primary School
A team becomes a real team when people feel that they are working together, not simply working alongside each other!
What makes a TEAM a TEAM?
1. A shared purpose - Everyone understands that we are working towards what is best for our students.
2. Trust - People feel safe to speak honestly, ask questions, make mistakes and ask for help.
3. Respect - We don't have to agree with each other, but we listen to different opinions.
4. Communication - We talk with each other, rather than about each other.
5. Everyone has a voice - A team doesn't mean that everyone's opinion will be the same. It means everyone has an opportunity to be heard and considered.
6. Supporting one another - When someone is struggling, we don't leave them to manage it alone, we offer help.
7. Accountability - Being part of a team means taking responsibility for our own actions.
8. Celebrating each other - We notice successes, effort, improvement and the little wins and celebrate each other's strengths rather than competing with them.
9. Belonging - People need to feel that they are an important part of the TEAM.
10. Commitment - A team keeps working together even when things become difficult.
A team isn't about everyone being the same.
A strong team is made up of people with different strengths, personalities, ideas and perspectives who are prepared to respect those differences and work towards the same purpose.
Being a TEAM doesn't mean we always agree. It means we listen, respect, support and work together towards what is best for our students.
