  4. GOALS for the day: • Refocus our Academy work for the second year • Refresh the leadership needed for the implementation of the Academy work in the second year • Continue to examine the implementation of our Theory of Action • Deepen our understanding of the Problem of Practice, Theory of Action, Evidence of Progress and Cycle of Inquiry and their relationship to our work • Determine our team’s growth in the first year of WSLA

  5. NORMS We Will: • Always treat each other with respect • Actively listen to each other • Encourage everyone to fully participate • Be respectful of each other’s time and perspectives • Stay focused, involved and productive • Be committed to be here ready to work – on time and with little distraction • Find ways to celebrate successes • Have fun and enjoy the time with our peers

  6. WSLA Problem of Practice How can we create and lead a system that ensures effective instruction for all students, integrates multiple initiatives—i.e., Common Core, TPEP, Smarter Balanced—and results in sustained high levels of learning?

  7. WS Leadership Academy: Reflect • Answer the following questions: • What do you hope to accomplish this year? • How does the work you hope to accomplish align with the data you and your colleagues have reviewed in developing your Theory of Action? • Why is the work you will be doing this year the right focus for your district?

  8. What growth have you made? In your district teams: • Review where you placed yourself on the WSLA Rubrics • Determine if you are still in that same place • List the steps you will need to take this year to move forward on the rubrics

  9. What growth have you made? • Be prepared by 10:45 to share your growth with others • Take a break when needed

  10. Sharing with Colleagues

  11. Instructional Core

  12. Instructional Core • Principle 1: The first principle of instructional improvement is that increases in student learning occur only as a consequence of improvements in the level of the content, teachers’ knowledge and skill and student engagement

  13. Instructional Core • Principle 2: The second principle of instructional improvement follows from the first: If you change any single element of the instructional core, you have to change the other two to affect student learning.

  14. Instructional Core • Principle 3: The third principle of instructional improvement: If you can’t see it in the core, it is not there

  15. Instructional Core • Principle 4: The fourth principle of instructional improvement is that: The Task Predicts Performance

  16. Instructional Core • Principle 5: The connection between doing the right thing and knowing the right thing to do leads to the fifth principle: the real accountability system is in the tasks that students are asked to do

  17. Instructional Core • Principle 6: We learn to do the work bydoing the work, not by telling other people to do the work, notby having done the work at some time in the past, and not by hiring experts who can act as proxies for our knowledge about how to do the work

  18. Instructional Core • Principle 7: This leads to the seventh principle: Description before analysis Analysis before prediction Prediction before evaluation

  19. Team Time • How does the Instructional Core (IC) affect our work and how does the IC directly apply to the Regional POPand our District’s TOA? • What evidence do we have that we are focusing on the Instructional Core? • Do we have the right steps in our TOA to make a significant difference in the learning for all of our students? • What else do our staff members need to learn?

  20. BREAK

  21. The Cycle of Inquiry (Copland, 2009)

  22. Evidence • What evidence are we looking for? • Who will be looking for the data? When? • Whowill be analyzing/interpreting the information? When? • How will we share the results of what is found with others: the board, community and staff?

  23. Reflection In Your WSLA Journal: • What did I learn today? • What did my team learn today?

  24. Closure “Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.” Benjamin Franklin

  25. Before You Leave • Please complete evaluation form and give the form to the instructors • Schedule time with your team to complete your Homework
