Teacher Communication

I greatly commend the communication between the teachers at Pequea Valley HS. In my first few days I was stunned to see how much teachers talk to one another. On the day I observed one student throughout his daily routine, I was amazed to return to my cooperating teacher and hear that she already knew where I went because her fellow teachers were communicating with her through e-mail all day. It was a bit weird to know how "watched" I was, but then I realized that these teachers are committed to providing the best care for their students possible.

It greatly helps that every teacher is equipped with a personal laptop, which allows them to easily access another teacher across the school. With the laptops, teachers also have the ability to meet in local areas (ie. faculty lounge) and collaborate on preparing lessons or sharing ideas. I noticed that the majority of the teachers at PVHS were pretty young, which could also aid in their helpfulness towards one another, knowing they are all in the same boat. If I were to ever teach in PVHS, I would not have any worries about having the support and open communication of my coworkers.
