Project 1: The area

of concern is the
lack of morale and
campus culture.
Teachers in
respective grade
levels dont have
enough
opportunities for
team building and
collaboration.

Lockhart ES has a high teacher

turnover rate. Each year a
plethora of teachers leave, and
new teachers (including a high
percentage of first-year
teachers) join the team. Every
year returning teachers are
shuffled around from grade
level to grade level. It is for the
aforementioned reasons teachers
experience difficulty fostering
collaborative and trusting
relationships among their teams.
It is imperative to foster a
campus culture of collaboration
and support.

1) Met with the principal to
discuss team-building
activities that would help

teaching teams. These

2) Provide a list of needed
materials for each activity.
3) Helped to organize
teacher socials, prayer
groups, and an informal
committee of teachers that
motivate teachers.
