WAPA+2020+Teacher+Swop+Information

====The WAPA 2020 Teacher Swop Project is to be run for the first time in Week 5 of Term 3. It is primarily designed for teachers who either have only taught in one school, or teachers who have been in one school for a number of years. ====

====If you are interested in applying to be part of this project you are asked to get permission from your principal to apply and then fill in the application form. Application forms need to be sent to principal@flanshawroad.school.nz by the end of Week 2 next term. ====

====Details of who you would swop with will be sent to you Monday of Week 3, in time for you to organize to meet the teacher with whom you are to swop classes before Week 5. ====

====As a new WAPA 2020 leadership project we believe this project could be a powerful professional development experience for teachers in our WAPA 2020 schools. ====
