  1. Quality Instructional Leadership Tool for Observing Quality in Classroom & Collecting Data

  2. Welcome! • Opening remarks • Objective: • As instructional leaders, to deeply explore observable evidence of cultures of caring, competence, and excellence in classrooms.

  3. Project Norms • Stay open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. • Disagree with the idea, not the person. • Everyone a participant; everyone a listener. • Honor time commitments. • Accept non-closure. • Honor confidentiality. • Stay engaged. FirstSchool2018

  4. Continuous Improvement Our work continues to be finetuned and improved!

  5. Working Teams • After counting off, reconfigure with your new team. • Your team will then be assigned either the Culture of Caring, Competence, or Excellence. • With your team members, brainstorm what you could observe in a classroom within 5 minutes that would provide evidence of that culture. Note: Although the Cultures do overlap, please be mindful of staying focused on the specifics of your assigned Culture.

  6. Refinement Using the list you generated, work to reduce it to 10-12 items that best capture the essence of your assigned Culture.

  7. Compare and Refine • Compare your list to the list we provide. Note similarities and differences. • Make recommendations for alterations you would make to the provided list. (What might you add? What might you take off?) • To keep the list tightly focused, work to keep your recommended list approximately the same size as the provided list. • Be prepared to share-out your recommendations to the group.

  8. Present Your Recommendations Each team will share out a synopsis of their discussions and recommended list.

  9. Application With your school group, discuss how this tool might be used to assist you in your journey to improve PreK-5 instruction. • Be sure to extend your thinking beyond its use as a 5- minute observation tool.

  10. Possibilities • Observation pre and post conversations • Improvement plans • Peer observations

  11. Thank you for your time & effort! The improvement of understanding is for two ends: first, our own increase of knowledge; secondly, to enable us to deliver that knowledge to others. John Locke
