This site has video workshops
for teachers.
Also available are
collections of videos of standards-based classrooms: See Teaching Math: A Video Library, K-4;
Teaching Math: A Video Library, 5-8; and Teaching
Math: A Video Library, 9-12. There
is a free sign-up for first-time users.
These videos could initiate some rich discussion for you and your
colleagues.
Two websites that you may find useful. The first deals with school
rules and the second with cooperative groups:
