Is Kent introducing this section as well or is he doing the introduction at the beginning?
Emphasis for this slide is Providing a Rationale for why Focus Is on Collaborative Learning/CoP/School Team and not on individual memberGive Example of my growth as 7th grade English Teacher towards more innovative, effective, coherent instructional practices – Book Study vs. Basal; integrated instruction with Social Studies; Differentiated & Themed; Writing Workshop and Topics connected to readingCase I wrote in graduate school highlighted research and theory about instructionLeft unexamined and hidden was the “support for instruction” I received and organizational conditions (resources to purchase sets of books, hire social studies teacher and special education teacher with expectation of collaboration; block scheduling; supportive administration; high degree of collaboration across gradesMove away from the “heroic individual” – requires effective systemsCases that only focus on instruction can set teachers up for failure and are less effective in helping other educators replicate or bring to scale effective practices.
Audience of teacher educators working with next generation of English Teachers or ELA teachers: The NCLE is meant to do organizationally and systemically what many of you are already doing individually. LEVERAGE COHERENCE[KLD notes to self: Bob Yagelski and his diverse professional practices or just use “many of you:]Engage in Research and Publish/Present at Academic ConferencesSit on panels (local, state, federal) that synthesize research and make recommendations for action (policy)Coordinate National Writing Project sites at your school (or other professional development initiatives that provide target, systemic and hands-on support for teachers)Write articles, books that are accessible to and of interest to teachersCreate materials for students (text books, programs, curriculum)Provide professional development to local schoolsTrain, support, prepare teachers (ins-ervice and pre-service)Sit on committees that identify knowledge, skills, dispositions of effective teachersCollaborate with others in research to bring your work to scale (Colburn: depth, reach, integration…)
Note to Kent: I need to finish this visual. I may delete it but I want something that connects the previous slide to the actual school teams and talk about mentoring process as well as the Literacy in Every School part. I need to finish this one.
Note to Kent:This slide represents LIL Service. It’s the features that will be both in every edition as well as connected to each case. These will all be hyperlinked to examples of videos, articles, resources, guiding questions, tools etc. that would be available with a specific case which we have been looking at as a possible exemplar. I want to walk them through one case and some of the resources that go with it. The videos you are bringing will be linked. They are 30 second to 1 min. clips that connect to the sample case. The hyperlinks were created in Inspiration but they didn’t translate so I’m going to need to redo them in the actual powerpoint . Not done yet. Note to Kent: My part ends here. I’m going to hand over to you next.
Kent will talk about – emphasize that this isn’t meant to be an organization where everyone related to literacy and education sign on. It’s a group of people committed to active participation in this work. Goal is coherent action.
Kent will talk about – probably will need to skim at this point.
Kent does this slide: Note to Kent – see changes to first bullet point. Sharon noted to me today in talking about this that the people in your audience are well positioned to identify good cases and recommend then and serve as reviewers and possibly writing mentors.
