Essential Questions for Today: • What have we done since we last met? • What have learned? • What are the essential skillsneeded forLST members? • What will we do to continue to progress in our work?
Individual School Reflection (10 min.) • What has your staff been learning? • How is what you are learning being implemented? (e.g. through plcs, classroom observation, modeling…) • As an LST member, how have you supported your staff learning and implementation? • How is Instructional leadership supporting your staff learning and implementation? • What are you and your LST members committing to in the next 30 days?
Table Group Discussion (30-40 min) • Quietest person at your table begins with first question… • Go around the table • Repeat with second question
Before we head for break… Most outgoing (non-quiet) person at your table begins … • What for you was the most important point about our work this morning?
Instructional Collaboration Continuum • HEADER- “are we building a continuum of trust OR is this about the principles of how we learn and grow as adults”? • LINEAR VS CYCLICAL - Research – Joyce and Showers – each set of activities listed in the continuum builds on the one before. Not an endpoint as all activities continue to support learning. • ULTIMATE GOAL - in an ideal world we want peers feeling comfortable learning from their colleagues (reciprocal – you watch me and I watch you – new skill/ new concept/ new process) • KEY MESSAGE- We have trouble with the term - COACH
FINDING YOUR PARTNER • Make eye-contact someone in the room (not at your table) who is within 3 inches of your height • Find a spot to sit
Continuum of Collaboration Part 1 of 3 • With your new partner • When you consider this continuum, select one of the processes you have tried and describe in detail how your process worked.
Analyzing the Process • Does the description for the process make sense? • Within this process, have we missed anything within the LST role? • Within this process, are there any skills that have been missed? • Are there any exemplars that you think we should add? 5. Is there anything that is unclear? 6. Overall/general comments about the continuum.
Continuum of Collaboration Please Post your notes on the section of the continuum you discussed. Please return to your table group.
Continuum of Collaboration Part 2 of 3 WHOSE ROLE IS IT ANYWAYS? Considering your school’s goal: Who is the most responsible person(s) How are these processes divided or shared? How might you have this discussion with the rest of your team?
