What is an ILC? The Instructional Learning Cycle process is a defined structure that promotes collaboration and collective responsibility within a teacher team by setting up structures for short term cycles of improvement. *This will be a requirement for Focus and Priority schools during the implementation phase.
Instructional Learning Cycle (ILC) Collaborative short term process of instructional improvement Reflect on the quality of classroom instruction Focus teacher teams on implementation of instructional strategies from the School Improvement Plan and linked to a school-wide instructional priority
Instructional Learning Cycle (ILC) Within an ILC, teacher teams focus on a single instructional strategy related to standards Continuous ILCs signals purposeful and focused instructional improvements Provides teachers teams a process to monitor student achievement
Instructional Learning Cycle (ILC) • Short cycles of improvement are meant to last 2-4 weeks • Includes 3 collaborative meetings held by content area or grade level • Each meeting provides an opportunity to • Reflect on the quality of instruction • Analyze implementation and impact data
Instructional Learning Cycles are linkable to… A school improvement plan: An instructional priority; and Content expectations or Common Core Standards
Key features of ILCs Common pre and post assessments (along with data analysis) Purposeful identification and implementation of research-based instructional strategy Collaborative instructional dialogue and reflection
Instructional Learning Cycle is guided by the following questions What do we want students to know and be able to do? How will students demonstrate that they have acquired the essential knowledge and skills? How will we agree on the criteria that we will use in judging the quality of student work, and can we apply the criteria consistently? How will we intervene for students who struggle and enrich the learning for students who are proficient? How will we use the evidence of student learning to improve our individual and collective professional practice?
Theory of Action If teacher teams engage in regular instructional dialogues around a data-informed instructional strategy, then the quality of classroom instruction will improve, and student learning will increase.
