Editor's Notes
- Share a Roadmap of our focus for the upcoming three DTLM; host a quick reflective conversation with a partner; invite you to connect in regards to an invite for support to developing the focus for school teamsSHINE THE LIGHT ON TEAMS….Over the years…we’ve seen In our district – many great practices & processes that support the learner, classroom, the school, the district - Literacy, numeracy, social responsibility, PBS, teams that support individual learner needs for behaviour or academics – IEP/BIP, struggling learnersPro D for Staff support… teams that support SIP and LIF, teams that focus on tech integration, teams that focus on school leadership & management … some involve the same people – some have separate entities (THE COLORED BALLS)
- Here’s the thought….If we thought about all our different TYPES of TEAMS, what might be THE common underlying characteristics that we would want to ensure are the guiding foundational pieces?Something like….Does our work focus on and/or impact ALL Learners…along a CONTINUUM of Learning?Does this process/conversation strengthen our overall school processes & classroom instructionDoes this process also help to unify and strengthen conversations & processes and thus then, increase efficiencies /effectiveness / at the class, school and district level … and becomes more of what we strive for…greater success & outcomes for children?…And is it a model that can sustain the test of time; empowers the stakeholdersInvite to look closer at what we do…and how we do it….to strengthen our work
- For the next three DTLM, we will be involved in learning from our colleagues and collectively gaining new insights for our own school environments – and hopefully strengthening & unifying our overall processes as a district.Supporting the process from our shiny colored balls photo to strengthen our system, increasing understanding & efficiencies, and ultimately outcomes for our children (and ourselves!) Sustainable. Timeless. This IS how we do business here in #SD60
- The Overarching: Beliefs, ALL, Diversity, Continuum, Independence, alignment…The many Processes: RTI, Responsive, PLC, Data, Class Reviews ,School Profile, Learning Resources, Staff Development, Partners…The Areas: Curriculum, Personalized Learning, Independence, Transition…Some of our main ‘Products’: SIP, AC/EA, LIFHOW: Unified & SystemizedWhat might you say is your Culture of Conversation & Collaboration – the key piece that is foundational to all of these?One minute reflection: What do you think this looks like &/or feels like at your school?Elbow Partner – 3 minutes discussion of what’s going well at your school and one main area of focus for the school for next year
- Invite to have a conversation – and perhaps we’ll see a theme to approach our time on April 22….Innovative practices …sharing our journeys … or even questions you may have….to help support one another in our own quests to strengthen learning experiences & outcomesMin Fassbender – support to Incentivizing!Dr. K – Discipline with Dignity; Support for Behavioural NeedsELC – Collaboration structure
