Muir Lake School 2013/2014 Professional Development Plan Collaborate Create Learn
Mission We will collaborate, create and learn to develop ourselves as professionals to best meet the diverse needs of students Collaboration + Creativity + Curiosity = Learning
Vision Professional Development work will… • Be meaningful, relevant, & powerful • Be self directed • Maximize school expertise • Build upon the strengths of our staff • Encourage shared leadership • Enable collaboration • Be shared transparently with the community
In a nutshell… • Collaborate as a team • Work on what you want to work on
Priority Areas Priority areas were determined by… • Parkland School Division Initiatives • AISI Cycle 5 • Muir Lake School Educational Plan & Initiatives • Staff input on PD planning day
Priority Areas/CCL Teams The main focus/priority areas for Muir Lake School are… • Critical Thinking • TechnologyIntegration • Inclusion • Leadership, Citizenship, & Social Responsibility
CCL Teams Responsibilities Each CCL Leadership Team will be responsible for the following: • Create a shared CCL Lead Team Professional Growth Plan focused on priority area that defines objectives and measures of success (this can be used for individual PGDP if you wish) • Provide learning opportunities to staff in priority area (email, optional after-school PD sessions, other, etc.)
CCL Teams Responsibilities Each CCL Team will be responsible for the following: • Identify resources in the priority area for the staff (conferences, media materials, etc.) • Document and share work on Muir Lake School Teaching Resources Website • Encouraged to build/expand learning networks by sharing resources, ideas, and work on social media (#psd70 is PSD hashtag for sharing)
CCL Teams Responsibilities Each CCL Leadership Team will be responsible for the following: • Team teach at least once with another staff member this year • Provide at least 2 Learning Round opportunities for other staff members to attend (see Learning Round Leader’s Guide) • Summarize the project in point form at end of each session in order to give an “at-a-glance” view for staff
CCL Teams Responsibilities Each CCL Leadership Team will be responsible for the following: • Personal reflection and sharing work being done on the school blog, individual professional portfolio’s and/or classroom blogs is encouraged (this models what we are asking students to do and fosters transparent learning and sharing with the local and global community)
Conclusion Factors important for success: • Full participation • Time will be given on PD days and flexible PD days for CCL Lead Team work • 2-3 year focus on priority areas • Reflection at the end of year 1 • Moving forward, interconnect the different priority areas
Discussion • Flexible PD – what works for the team? (see MLS CCL Flexible PD Options) • CCL Team Professional Growth Plan – Due by the end of September
