  3. And Our Converging Goal • TO INCREASE OUR STUDENT’S ACHIEVMENT!

  4. Observations and Course Work • Participates will observe their colleagues in 3 (½) PD days in accordance with the VTEA Contract • Participates will collaborate with 3 partners • One between Dec. 4th and Feb. 4th • Two between Feb. 5th and June 3rd • After each observation participants will write a one page reflection • A final “Capstone Project” will be turned in or presented at our last meeting in June

  5. The Capstone Project • Can be a written reflection, of a video recording of your lesson. • Can be a presentation of a grade or school wide program for next year • Can be a proposal for a grant for next year • Can be a presentation on new initiative of your choosing • Or something we haven’t even thought of yet!! • We just ask your capstone is aimed at helping your practice and/or our community

  7. Seminars • Our seminars are focused on: • Facilitating group discussion • Fostering collaboration • Engaging in self-reflection • Progressing new strategies and methods within our pedagogy

  8. Observations • The goal of these observations is to give honest and factually feedback for our peers • These observations should be as objective as possible and seldom make judgments • (Avoid: That was good… That was bad… I think…) • When offering suggestions offer more than one option • WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY????
