Collaborative planning, to me, is an art of communicating and working with others. It is frequently found in a team that instead of collaboration, competition or even quarrel occurred. To avoid this happen and maximize the potential of every team member has to be assigned different roles. Sometimes, they naturally act as a certain role which reflects their personality and their ability. In one of PD sessions, Ms Dwi presented about ideas for collaborative planning proposed by Dr Meredith Belbin. He suggests that we should create a balanced team, which consists of three parts: action-oriented roles, people-oriented roles and thought-oriented roles. After knowing the roles, we discussed with our team in grade level to identify our roles, along with the strengths and weaknesses. It turned out that everyone serves as "Plant", "Worker" and "Finisher" because we usually divide the tasks to five teachers in our grade level. Then, specifically for me, I usually become the "Team Worker" who harmonizes the group and encourages cooperation. This role suits me, who is a phlegmatic and interpersonal person. Besides figuring out our roles, we also learned the Seven Norms of Collaborative Planning, which is some tips for communicating during work collaboratively. Here they are: - Pausing before responding - Paraphrasing what others say - Probing to increase clarity of the group's thinking - Putting ideas on the table - Paying attention to self and others - Presuming positive presuppositions - Pursuing a balance between advocacy and inquiry This knowledge is very useful for us in doing collaborative planning, and also in communication generally. This also helps me in achieving one of goals I stated in my SMART Plan, i.e. to do my best in delivering my insight objectively, effectively and wisely to avoid bias.
