Instructional Rounds Training (Sept. 19, 2013)
This document discusses instructional rounds, which are a job-embedded approach to professional learning. The key ideas are that everyone works on improving their practice, the focus is on the instructional core of teacher-student-content interaction, and the goal is continuous improvement over time through collaborative analysis. The process involves identifying an instructional problem, observing classrooms in small groups focused on the problem, debriefing to look for patterns and predict student learning, and determining next steps for the school and observers.
Harvard Instructional Rounds - Explained
The document introduces instructional rounds, which uses a medical model of observation and collaboration to improve teaching practices and student outcomes. Instructional rounds exposes teachers to different practices, engages meaningful discussions about education, and provides clarity for professional development. The process involves identifying problems of practice, making observations focused on facts rather than judgments, analyzing trends in debrief sessions, and proposing solutions to guide future work. The hosting school then shares findings to guide teacher development and identify new problems to address.
Instructional Rounds
Instructional rounds are a process for educators to work together to improve classroom instruction. They involve observing classroom instruction together, analyzing what was observed, and identifying next steps for improving teaching and learning. The goal is to build a common understanding of effective instructional practices and reduce variability across classrooms. Instructional rounds differ from teacher evaluations in that the focus is on improving the overall instructional system rather than individual teachers. Groups of educators observe classrooms together using a descriptive approach rather than making judgments. They then analyze what students and teachers were doing to identify problems of practice and develop theories of action to guide improvement efforts.
Preparing staff for instructional rounds
The document discusses Instructional Rounds, which is a process for school staff to work together systematically to improve teaching and learning. It provides context on what has prepared staff at this school for Instructional Rounds. The key aspects of Instructional Rounds are that it is evidence-based rather than judgemental, focuses on a specific Problem of Practice identified by the school, and examines the relationship between teachers and students in the context of content. Developing a collaborative culture and clear expectations is important for the Instructional Rounds process.

This document discusses how teachers can develop a culture of evidence-based practice in schools. It recommends that teachers engage in professional development like completing a masters degree, setting up journal clubs, attending conferences, and conducting small classroom research projects. These activities help teachers stay current on educational research and bridge the gap between research and classroom practice. Establishing a culture where research routinely informs decisions can improve student outcomes. The document acknowledges obstacles like time, finding relevant research, finances, and lack of support and provides strategies to encourage schools to prioritize evidence-based practices.

Metacognition refers to thinking about one's own thinking processes. It involves monitoring and controlling one's thoughts. There are several subcategories of metacognition including metamemory and metacomprehension, which involve appraising one's own prior knowledge and comprehension. Developing metacognition in students is important as research shows academic gains with metacognitive instruction. Teachers can model metacognition for students by consciously demonstrating their own thinking processes and using strategies, checklists, and whiteboards to make their cognitive work visible.
Central Peninsula Instructional Rounds Evaluation
The document discusses the experiences and perspectives of school principals regarding their participation in Instructional Rounds. Key points include:
- Principals now look more closely at student learning and engagement in classrooms rather than just teacher actions.
- Professional discussions around teaching practice have increased as a result of participation in Instructional Rounds.
- Some schools have implemented new practices like internal Instructional Rounds or a focus on differentiated learning based on what they observed.

Problem based learning basics
This is a slightly-edited version of an online presentation prepared for a class on Motivating 21st Century Learning, in which I give a basic overview of what Problem-based Learning is, and how it can be used--particularly in a library classroom environment.
Problem Based Learning
Problem based learning is one of the approaches used in presenting the lesson. In this presentation you will know the advantages of using this approach. This also tackles the models needed in implementing this strategy. I have provided an example problem for a more adequate learning.
A Focus on Learning
My presentation from the ND Education Academy.
Many people think that we have a student learning problem in schools. I believe we have an adult learning problem. To truly increase student achievement it must start with the adults in the building. We must develop a culture of learning that begins with teachers and trickles down to students. In this session I will provide practical ideas that will help your district create a focus on learning.
Problem based learning by Qidam
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a method of learning and teaching that allows students to focus on how and what they will learn. In PBL, learning begins with a problem and ensures the problem is related to learning. Students have responsibility for their own learning and collaborate through discussion. Teachers act as facilitators, design lessons, and help students develop strategies. Students use intelligence to ask questions, think, do research, and interact. Advantages of PBL include increased student motivation and activity, and experience with organizing projects. Disadvantages can include the long time needed to solve problems, requirements for more money and tools.
R.T.C 6 - Inquiry Planning - Maths - What is Evidence?
The document describes a teacher's planning and implementation of a mathematics learning program for target students. It includes:
1) Details of the program including daily sessions, reviewing progress, and focusing on number recognition and calculation strategies.
2) Evidence of using learning progressions to set goals and monitor development in knowledge and strategies.
3) An inquiry process to help students articulate their learning through modeling, questioning, and statements describing strategies.
Teaching as inquiry | An overview
This document discusses teaching as inquiry and provides guidance on how to engage in the inquiry process. Some key points covered include:
- Inquiry should be a way of professional being for 21st century educators and not just an add-on project.
- The inquiry process involves gathering information about learners, asking questions focused on student needs based on data, trying new approaches, and reviewing results to determine what is and isn't working to improve student outcomes.
- Inquiry can be done individually through self-reflection and documentation, or collaboratively through discussions, observations, and reviewing data with other teachers. The goal is continuous improvement of teaching practice focused on learner needs.

Action research final
This document discusses the importance of student engagement in education. Student engagement refers to a student's level of interest, curiosity, and motivation to learn. Studies have shown that engaged learners learn better and effective teaching promotes student engagement. The purpose of this study is to increase classroom success by making topics more relatable to students and encouraging autonomy and critical thinking. Data collection methods will include observations, student surveys, and working with a research team to understand how to keep students motivated to learn.
Lm teacher forums
The document discusses strategies for increasing student engagement and achievement. It outlines theories of action for schools and teachers to improve outcomes, including setting high expectations, using inquiry-focused instruction, implementing teaching protocols, and providing purposeful learning tasks. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration, reflection and feedback, and developing a common vision and language around instructional practice. Implementing these strategies consistently and systematically across the school is presented as key to realizing the greatest impact on student learning.
Domain 2
This module discusses the genesis of professional learning communities and shared vision and values. It covers 3 phases of development: genesis where the principal builds faculty leadership; process where leadership responsibilities are shared; and implementation where collaborative practices are institutionalized. The principal models aligning school actions with a shared vision developed through stakeholder dialogue. Teachers actively participate in these discussions and learn to use data to make instructional decisions aligned with the vision.
Peer coaching presentation
Peer coaching involves a process of observation, reflection, and feedback between colleagues to improve teaching practices. The document outlines the stages of peer coaching including pre-observation meetings, observation, and post-observation feedback. It also provides guidance on developing skills for effective peer coaching through questioning, paraphrasing, and building rapport.
CCC-M F2F meeting_160122
The document outlines an agenda for a workshop on creating, collaborating and computing in mathematics, with a focus on enhancing teaching and learning through technology. The agenda includes reviewing learning targets, co-planning activities, learning about effective group work strategies, and reflecting on teaching practices. Norms for the group discussions emphasize preparation, participation, respect, and positivity.
Problem based learning
Problem-based Learning: PBL is any learning environment in which the problem drives the learning. That is, before students learn some knowledge they are given a problem. The problem is posed so that the students discover that they need to learn some new knowledge before they can solve the problem. Some example problem-based learning environments include:
•research projects
•engineering design projects that are more than a synthesis of previously learned knowledge
Problem based learning
A learning method based on the principle of using problems as a starting point for the acquisition and integration of new knowledge
Edld 5305 assignment 1-Williams, T
The document proposes an innovative plan to implement blended learning in elementary school classrooms using a station rotation model. The plan aims to improve student engagement and provide differentiated instruction through various learning modalities, including online and teacher-led instruction. Students would rotate through stations on a fixed schedule, allowing them to learn at their own pace while reinforcing academic skills. By modernizing lessons with technology integrated into the content, delivery, and assessments, the station rotation model could transform education and better prepare students for the future.
Teaching as Inquiry
This document outlines the "teaching as inquiry" framework for improving teaching practice. It discusses using inquiry to develop understandings of the "Thinking Competency" as an example. The framework involves three parts: discovering areas for focus through establishing student baselines; designing evidence-based strategies to help students learn; and delivering teaching to achieve outcomes while monitoring implications through various assessments. Teachers articulate beliefs, adopt an inquiry stance, ask questions, and seek and analyze multiple data sources for evidence of impact on learning. Findings are shared and used to continually improve competence through an ongoing reflective cycle. The goal is improving student learning outcomes through questioning practice and using research-based evidence to strengthen teaching approaches.
Active learning
The document discusses active learning, which engages students in the learning process through meaningful activities that require thinking, as opposed to passive lecturing. It provides principles of active learning, including making the learning purposeful, reflective, negotiated, critical, complex, situation-driven, and engaging. Examples of active learning tasks are given, such as discussions, debates, role plays, and simulations. The use of technology and ICT tools can also enhance active learning. Implications are that active learning enhances motivation, caters to different learning styles, nurtures critical thinking, and increases student autonomy, though it demands more from teachers.
Problem/Project based learning
This document discusses problem-based learning (PBL) and project-based learning. PBL presents students with real-world problems and has them develop solutions, fostering skills like problem-solving and critical thinking. It outlines the steps of PBL, including presenting the problem and developing solutions. Project-based learning involves in-depth student-centered investigations over multiple class periods on authentic tasks. An example of each is given: for PBL, students determine how to care for a class pet rabbit, and for projects, second graders grow and observe different plants. Both approaches are said to improve student learning.
PLCs By: Emily Lehmann
The document discusses Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) which aim to ensure high quality education for all students through collaboration among teachers, students, administrators, parents and the community. A PLC works to establish common goals and assessments to monitor student growth and provide additional support to struggling students. Key aspects of successful PLCs include regular collaboration among educators, a focus on continuous learning, and consistency in implementing common practices and curricula. Research shows PLCs can boost student achievement and staff morale when all members work as a team toward the shared goal of student success.
Implementing Change at Mitchell
The document discusses a school district's plan to implement change through professional learning communities and individual professional development plans in response to failing to make adequate yearly progress according to federal standards. The district will work with an outside consultant and use a framework involving shared vision, team learning, and personal mastery. Teachers will create individual plans aligned with school and district goals to document their learning and reflect on improvements to student outcomes. Barriers like lack of time and input are addressed through fostering collaboration and adapting the program based on feedback.

Sasha dorsey integrative curriculum
An integrated curriculum combines subject areas around significant problems or issues identified by educators and students. Studies show students in integrated programs outperform those in traditional classrooms on tests. The development process involves determining objectives, designing instruction, delivering the curriculum, analyzing feedback, and adjusting. Teachers collaborate across subjects like English, history, and social studies. Stakeholders like teachers, students, parents, and the community work together towards aims of making learning relevant and improving engagement and skills. Data collection techniques assess skills, growth, activity levels, and reflections.

https://app.box.com/s/y977uz6bpd3af4qsebv7r9b7s21935vdA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
