A quick peer PD activity where staff fill out cards sharing a strategy, tool, or idea that has been working in their classroom. Cards get collected and shared back with the whole team, turning everyday teaching wins into professional development ideas for teachers across your building.

Why try it

Your staff are full of great ideas, and this activity gets those ideas moving. Instead of saving strategy-sharing for formal PD sessions, Staff Idea Swap Cards make it a low-lift habit that fits inside a staff meeting. The result is a running collection of real classroom strategies, sourced from people who know your school best.
