AHAs:
The way we do our work, the way we are with each other, the way we are with teachers is a powerful model that impacts the culture of our system. Whether we like it or not, we are always modeling.  “We can NOT not model” (Sandra Herbst).

We must model that we believe in the capacity of our learners (teachers), and create spaces for them to develop relationships, inquire, collaborate, and innovate.

Relationships and human connection is key.  Our joint work and our learning together is how we model “turning to each other”.   Build relationships, trust, inquire, collaborate and innovate.  This is the JOY of learning.  We must prioritize space and time for this. We are lead learners.

Wondering:
Communication in our system is a “wicked problem” that deserves our full attention.  Learning new ways to connect - leveraging virtual communities, social media (ie. blogs), online chats, blended learning.

Aha:

Cross panel learning and exchange possibilities

Importance of collaboration between teams

Importance of transitions and helping students make them (K to 1, Primary to Junior, Intermediate to Secondary)

Differentiation is a need everywhere

Still wondering:

How to get past twinky DI

AHA -
Lots of evidence of the impact of educators knowing and understanding each learner.

Everyone is shifting to put learners at the centre as the driving force of our work.

Wondering:
How to encourage the broader system to be more intentional and explicit about EQUITY and representation for each learner.

AHA -
*Connecting theory to practice
*Capacity building for differentiated programming
*Know your learner - K-12 and beyond

NEXT STEPS -
*Share LSS Resources and CS Central Educators Resources with all members of both departments
*Schedule "protected time" to plan and collaborate with colleagues

How can collaboration between teams (e.g. ELL and LSS) be more intentional (how can the dots be connected)?

AHA...ELL work factors into every other portfolio!!

How can we capture, through monitoring, our collective impact on student, educator and system learning?

PD increasingly offering choices, catering to teachers' needs

Embedded lead learners, cross-curricular - more cross panel learning would help bridge gap from elementary to secondary and would make Exit Outcomes more of a shared theme/focus

Wondering
How can we as central departments "cross pollinate" more? How do we break down the barriers (real or imagined) between our departments when working on various initiatives and projects? We shouldn't have to wait for days like today to learn and work with each other!
AHA
The amount of work and genius in this room is staggering. The work we do in support of our learners and educators is phenomenal and so meaningful for a great deal of people. It's the connections we see in our work and between ourselves that makes what we do so special.
**OUR POSTER**

AHA- our need to be more intentional in uncovering  the  essential and specific needs of the system for the ARTS and Cross-Curricular and Cross-Departmental.

Wondering - how we can structure September centrally to support and grow and deepen our already existing and new collaborations.

AHA AHA...
Student well-being is a connecting thread through all the various types of work.

Celebrating different student pathways opens doors to all types of learners. Creates opportunities for students.

A new appreciation for the role of consultants in supporting the well-being of colleagues on the front line.

Various departments intersect at the point of differentiation.

We, as a system, are trying to address teacher well being by providing support, resource and opportunities for collaboration.

WONDER...
We wonder how strategies for developing co-constructed criteria can be distributed through our classroom work in the system.

33% of Kindergarten teachers are brand new teachers.

ITAT WONDERING
If there could be a central directory that is very precise on what services each department provides (without acronyms).

-follow through with providing time to build in connections that have been made between departments;

Remaining Questions
-
A-ha and Wondering
-for this particular section of my portfolio, I am not really connected to other departments; not sure where the connection can be made (if at all)
-solid argument for an
