  4. Our Mental Model for Today: • You are here as a member of your leadership team. You may take a vacation from your daily identity. • This isn’t about “knowing” something at a deep level or a complete level. • This is time to explore ideas and possibilities with colleagues around the common theme of T/LC and standards. • This is step one of a longer process of systemic implementation.

  5. At Your Table: • Find the sign-in sheet and make sure everyone initials it so we can pay for the substitutes. • Secondary schools will take one table and elementary schools can share a table.

  6. Enduring Understanding • “Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.” Pat Riley

  7. Essential Questions • What does this mean to you individually, and as a member of the organization? • What gets in the way of achieving excellence?

  8. Objectives for the Summit • Teachers leaders and administrators will develop an understanding of how to use the Teaching/Learning Cycle to plan using the new units of study. • Teacher leaders and administrators will create a plan for supporting teachers and using the Teaching/Learning Cycle to implement units of study.

  9. “The point of any learning is to make it our own, to have it culminate in some new power and perspective.” Grant Wiggins

  10. The Teaching/Learning Cycle • As we’ve worked with the T/LC for the past few years, how would teachers in your building describe the T/LC?

  11. Here is the Guide for column 4 extracted from the ICM, what do you notice? • How does this promote us striving for excellence?

  12. Let’s go to systems... • T/LC is a structure that promotes thinking for teachers and administrators regardless of content, program, or level.

  13. You might have heard... • “Study is a great conversation but I need to get my day to day plan.”

  14. Another way to think about it • Students won’t own this if we don’t have this conversation.

  24. “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” Antione De St. Exupery
