Let's shift the focus of all upcoming meetings next year to exactly what we are doing this morning.  Get all the tech administrivia and move it to email and provide valuable time to collaborate on the meaningful topics. Let's focus on what matters most and what is going to directly impact the kids in our district.  Our teachers and students deserve more. We have made some great strides this year.  Let's keep it going!

I wonder if UbD framework could improve our planning of professional development.

# data[].attributes.body
The district needs to stay with a program longer than 18 months before promoting another program. Teachers who have been teaching for a while have a sense that they don't need to invest in something new because the next great idea will soon be pushed out.

was not that different, just more  detailed. It will probably be condensed by admin to be similar to PDAS with their time constraints.

Not as useful for those out of the classroom. TEACHERS need to go to this training.

# data[].attributes.body
Way too subjective.  There will be a ton of growing pains.  It would be smart to not dump any new initiatives on teacher's plates this coming year and focus on how we can support the standards.  We can take the year ahead to grow with UBD so we can be prepared to have the important discussions on the campuses in the following year(s).

I disagree with above... I think for once we are easing into something rather than jumping headlong over the precipice without considering implications. And then 3 years later no one uses it. And we're actually being asked for our voice

Enjoyed the Lead4ward materials, especially instructional strategies

What Jensen discussed/covered has more practical application for the real work than any of these other trainings. UBD framework is understood so get too it, but the trainings are poorly done and allowing folks time in small groups to develop plans etc. to incorporate it would go a lot longer to being productive.

Too much time spent on all day "trainings" that are essentially sit and get. Give us the handouts, let us work in small groups like today and discuss in smaller chunks of time.

The logistics of it all makes me twitch. Can't envision implementation yet.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the alternative?  We need ongoing discussions and a slow start so we can take the time to digest the information and find ways to best support the framework for teachers.  Powerful stuff!

We have seen this before but haven't done much with it.
Poverty session with Jensen was good.

No one is addressing the elephant in the room, that our true curricular framework is the STAAR test and until the entire system is imploded as far as lock step scope and sequence, planning, etc., which may or may not be a bad thing, there can be no systemic change. You can't put a top down ideology on top of a bottom up skill structure.

I wonder if all  we learn is really put into practice. Its all wonderful and gets me excited about education but  how can we make it happen? Let's make it happen!!  Let's think inside the box and work with what we have..stop complaining and just do it.

Is going to be a big change and challenge for campuses. I think it can be an opportunity for us to get in to plan with teachers and have conversations with admin

# data[].attributes.body
This was enlightening.  It's not perfect, some important things are being realized (more student-focused, etc.).  Learned more from this session than others recently.

# data[].attributes.body
Great session, but it needs to be more readily available to teachers. Have campuses send a few teachers on a work day versus having them sign up on a Saturday.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the EQs could make a great bridge between us and SI. It could be a good talking point during planning, and one that could bring us into the conversation more often.

# data[].attributes.body
Enjoyed this session.  It was student-focused, and that's what we need more of: practical, student-focused instructional practices.

# data[].attributes.body
Was a great session for us. I wish classroom teachers would get to attend his trainings.

I feel like UbD has been floating around our district for years now, but very little action.  Either adopt the model or move on...

# data[].attributes.body
I don't understand the hold up. Move forward and plug in the holes.

Create integration rich lessons (INTEGRATED PROCESS....NOT A PRODUCT)  that match T-TESS dimensions. Yesterday, our table group talked about making a T-TESS hyperdoc with lessons that match the dimensions. PS: this is not Laura Moore BUT I bet she does this first ;-)

# data[].attributes.body
I think that to have these practices develop on campuses we need to be involved with leadership meetings and/or planning at the campus level more than we already are, so that central ideas and campus ideas aren't so separated.

Make it match T-TESS
