This document provides an overview of professional learning communities (PLCs) in the Dunlap School District. It discusses the key elements of PLCs including having a focus on learning rather than teaching, using collaboration and formative assessment to improve student outcomes, and basing effectiveness on results rather than intentions. The document outlines the characteristics of high-functioning PLCs, including having shared values, collaborative teams, and a commitment to continuous improvement based on data and results.
Cooperative learning involves organizing students into small groups to work together on learning activities. When implemented effectively with the right support structures, it has been shown to improve academic achievement, ethnic relations, and social skills while reducing achievement gaps. The document outlines nine effective cooperative learning strategies and discusses how to structure groups, choose strategies, and facilitate success.
This document provides an overview and introduction to a Community of Practice (CoP) for staff development. It outlines the following key points in 3 sentences:
The CoP aims to impact classroom practice and student achievement through collaborative learning, application of lessons, and sharing experiences. Members commit to a two-year term where they will explore technology integration, lesson design, and student learning through activities like action research, collaborating on lessons, and examining student work. Each CoP group will establish group norms to guide how they work together and hold each other accountable for making progress towards their learning and application goals throughout the year.
The document provides an overview of effective teaching and learning principles from research. It discusses seven principles of good practice in undergraduate education: encouraging student-instructor contact, cooperation among students, active learning, prompt feedback, emphasizing time on task, communicating high expectations, and respecting diverse talents. Specific strategies are suggested for applying each principle, such as encouraging group work, frequent assessment and feedback, and minimizing lecturing.
Effective Home-School Partnerships- A strength based approach.2018JanetArnold8
As educators, you interact daily not only with your students but with their families as well. The type of relationships you form will help set the stage for optimal learning and growth, especially when a family is going through or has gone through the process of receiving a diagnosis of a learning disability for their child. Establishing an effective strength-based partnership allows you to help families navigate through what can be a very overwhelming time. This collaboration leads to co-operation and support that can make a real difference to how children see themselves as learners and engage in the learning process.
Many students with learning disabilities (LDs) are not aware of their individual learning needs or of a possible diagnosis and the behaviour associated because of this lack of knowledge can have a severe impact on their academic and social skills. It is important for both parents and educators to work collaboratively to bridge the gap between home and school to create a positive school climate.
Evidence-Based Practice - Aggregating, Applying and Assessing EvidenceGary Jones
Dr. Gary Jones gave a presentation on scaling up evidence-based decisions and practice. He discussed common misconceptions about evidence-based practice, tools for aggregating and weighing evidence, frameworks for applying evidence to decision making, and assessing outcomes. He emphasized the importance of learning from both success and failure through reflection. The presentation provided definitions, tools, and strategies to help educators become better evidence-based practitioners and promote a culture of learning from experiences.
The document discusses curriculum design and enterprise education in Scotland. It provides an overview of Learning and Teaching Scotland's role in developing enterprise across the curriculum. Key points include:
1) Curriculum for Excellence aims to develop enterprise skills in learners and make learning relevant to the real world.
2) Enterprise education is integrated across subjects rather than a standalone subject. Teachers deliver lessons in an enterprising way and involve employers.
3) Learning and Teaching Scotland supports enterprise education through CPD, resources, and partnerships with businesses.
Week 3 Instructor GuidanceAs you were reminded in Week 2, rememb.docxcockekeshia
Week 3 Instructor Guidance
As you were reminded in Week 2, remember it is a good idea to look ahead to Week 4 to prepare for the group activity – ask questions now in our Ask Your Instructor if you are unclear about any of the requirements for the group activity.
WEEKLY LEARNING OUTCOMES
Before moving any further, please take a moment to review and reflect on our learning expectations for the week; these are also listed with their alignment to each assessment for the week on the Week 3 Unit page:
· Discuss key ideas, values, and beliefs when creating a vision statement at the school.
· Devise a plan to include all stakeholders in the planning, creation and implementation process.
· Develop activities, for all stakeholders, in the vision creation process.
· Discuss the need to include district goals in regards to creating vision statements.
· Analyze the resources that each set of stakeholders brings to the successful implementation of the school vision.
· Discuss different strategies for stakeholder ownership in creating the vision statement
WEEK 3 – OVERVIEW
In Week Two, you provided justification on creating a new vision to your school board and school stakeholders. Additionally, you compared different visions to identify key components that comprise an effective vision. This week we have two discussions and an assignment. Review the guidance below and be sure to review the full instructions for each assessment on the Week 3 Unit page.
Discussion 1: In the Who to Include discussion, you reflect on which stakeholders are most effective to include in the modification or creation of a new vision for the school.
Discussion 2: The Planning Activities discussion is where you go more deeply into the vision process and determine what types of activities you need to plan to ensure the stakeholders have enough information to successfully create a vision.
Assignment: The assignment Join the Visionary Team is another opportunity to be creative and put your technology skills to use while showing what you know about recruitment to participate in a vision modification or creation. You will create a flyer that you could place in the school to attract stakeholders into joining a committee to create the school vision.
INTELLECTUAL ELABORATION
Another Committee!
As teachers, we are planning, creating, and teaching students and attending to all the intellectual and physical labor that teaching entails. We are busy professionals often with busy personal lives to manage as well. Often teachers stay long hours at their school site to ensure our practices are providing enough learning for the students to succeed. When we are faced with being put on a committee, it typically reduces our direct focus on our classroom activities. However, being on a committee is a significant duty as it is one of the best ways to have your voice heard around the school and to learn with your peers about a range of topics influencing your classroom practice.
As lea.

I can start with one fear is that I won’t get essential points across and one hope is that by Tuesday afternoon everyone will be better equipped to do the work of the PLC.

Report offers the most comprehensive picture and far reaching analysis of professional learning that has ever been conducted in the us Congress has the opportunity to promote significant improvement in teaching quality in American schools by supporting legislation that will amend the definition of Professional Development in NCLB to align it to research and successful practice.
Handouts: Leader Standards, Teacher Standards & PD Standards Context Standards –the school culture for professional learning-Must be created intentionally Process Standards-Professional learning strategies that help adults learn address how the system organizes learning opportunities to ensure adults acquire the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to affect student learning To be truly helpful, professional development must be based on the kind of research and practices described in the standards. Content Standards address what educators must understand and be able to ensure students learn successfully NJ’s CCCS identify the essential kowledge and skills expected and guaranteed for students in NJ schools. These provide a unifying direction for educators and leaders. There is now an alignment among pd, school leadership and Three sets of standards: Professional Teaching Standards, Professional Leadership Standards and Professional Development Standards

These questions direct the members attention to the core purpose of the community’s work – intentional professional learning for the purpose of improved student learning The communities of professionals study multiple sources of data to see where students are succeeding in their learning and where they are performing poorly. Poor student performance in an area suggests that the professionals should undertake alternative approaches to teaching students in the identified area. This information drives the work of the community.

The goal for our continued work together is to be able to lead and provide professinally inclusive and energizing rather than administratively intrusive and exhausting data driven improvement which will lead to greater empowerment and effectiveness
Purpose – shared vision, mission and goals that the staff see as their common purpose Leadership – sharing power, authority, and decision making. “ Teachers broaden their perspectives, develop a higher level of professionalism, and deepen their effectiveness. “ Principal becomes the sharing P – developing the leadership potential of staff Support – Time and place as well as relational/human capacities include the development of positive attitudes, respect, trust, - build that capitol. Collective intentional learning and its applications the staffs decision on what to learn is based on deep exploration of student data to identify the needs of students and the reflection on the extent to which the staff’s work is producing the results intended. The identified student learning areas provide the target for the staff’s intentional learning. Staff study student needs to make decisions about the adoption of new practices/programs and accept the need for their own learning to employ the knew knowledge and practices effectively.

R - the presenter has the opportunity not only to reflection and describe an issue, dilemma but also to have interesting questions asked of him AND to gain differing perspectives and new insights. Protocols build space for listening and often give people a license to listen, without having to respond. In schools many people say time is of the essence and time is one resource that no one seems to have enough of. Protocols are a way to make the most of the time we have. Have you ever been to a meeting where you have a burning issue you want to discuss and what happens is everyone “dumps” his issue and feeds off of each other, but you walk away from the meeting dissatisfied not really having anything new of significance that will help you with your issue? A protocol guards against this.
Read over the Processes Tool which describes the use of protocols. Select one of the Facilitation Strategies with your team described need or one of the identified scenarios Complete a Powerful Designs plan and present it to the group

None of the _______can be fully successful without sustained and supported professional learning opportunities that build the capacity of the “community” to improve, to change,
Provide each team with chart paper and markers. Give each team one card. (even among teams) After brainstorming, ask teams to have one member report on team’s ideas. List Desing Inc. ideas and Sabotage Inc.s ideas. ASK TEACHERS TO REFER TO THE CHARTS & DISCUSS HOW THEIR CURRENT SCHOOL CULTURE FACILITATES OR HINDERS THE SUCCESS OF LEARNING TEAMS. Vary the share out depending on the size of the group..List the items needed in the ppt presentation. DAY TWO-compile and distribute a single list of teachers’ ideas for making collaboration work.

Pausing: Pausing before responding or asking a question, allows time for thinking and enhances dialogue, discussion and decision-making. Paraphrasing: Using a paraphrase starter that is comfortable for you: “So…” or “As you are…” or “You’re thinking…” and following the starter with a paraphrase assists members of the group to hear and understand each other as they formulate decisions. Probing: Using Gentle open-ended probes or inquiries such as, “Please say more…” or “I’m curious about…” or “I’d like to hear more about…” or “Then, are you saying…?” increases the clarity and precision of the group’s thinking. Putting ideas on the table: Ideas are the heart of a meaningful dialogue. Label the intention of your comments. For example, you might say, “Here is one idea…” or “One thought I have is…” or “Here is a possible approach…” Paying attention to self and others: Meaningful dialogue is facilitated when each group member is conscious of self and of others and is aware of not only what she/Me is saying, but also how it is said and how others are responding. This includes paying attention to learning style when planning for, facilitating, and participating in group meetings. Responding to others in their own language forms is one manifestation of this norm. Presuming positive intentions: Assuming that others’ intentions are positive promotes and facilitates meaningful dialogue and eliminates unintentional put-downs. Using positive intentions in your speech is one manifestation of this norm. Pursuing a balance between advocacy and inquiry: Pursuing and maintaining a balance between advocating a position and inquiring about one’s own and others’ positions, assists the group to become a learning organization

You should begin each meeting with a review of the team norms
Fostering trust: what can I do to foster trust: be present, be open, listen: with empathy, without judgement, seek understanding, view learning as mutual, honor the person, honor the process Ask open questions-pay attention to syntax, intonation, presuppositions Respond with SPACE-silence, paraphasing, accepting without judgement, clarifying and elaborating Reframe: apply new frames to wident viewpoints Dialog-engage in conversations that deepen understanding--read trust poem, engage in stone activity

Framing clarifying questions—cool versus frosty Role of facilitator is critical.
Facilitator must check to see if the group has responded to the presenter’s focus questions, monitors time, keeps one or two people from dominating the discussion,protects presenter, leads debriefing. Presenter prepares: copies, amount of context necessary, focusing question(s), how much time needed for participants to examine work, may also alter other times BUT no step skipped. Explain why/how you chose this work Explain the context: Assignment What came before Parameters (drafts, group work, help) Provide a focusing question(s)
Importance of sticking to time limits and order At first will feel artificial and restrictive. Can adjust time periods as necessary (less of presentation, more for clarifying questions)
Tuning protocols work best when participants and presenters think of their work as a collaboration to help students learn. Facilitator must monitor the warm and cool feedback and be ready to step in to get a rephrasing or to redirect the comment.
