It is directly tied to the outcome- student data/teacher data. It is for the purpose of supporting student learning!

# data[].attributes.body
Each step builds knowledge, confidence, and collaboration, directly enhancing collective teacher efficacy. When teachers see themselves and their colleagues successfully applying new practices, they are more likely to believe in their ability to improve student outcomes.

# data[].attributes.body
The video really stressed the importance of everything being centered around student work samples.

# data[].attributes.body
Am I modeling success criteria enough for students to be able to take ownership of their work?

# data[].attributes.body
When teachers analyze student work samples, collaborate, plan guided practice, and reflect on outcomes, they become more confident and intentional in how they teach the lesson content.

# data[].attributes.body
How can I measure whether students are using the success criteria to guide their learning rather than relying solely on my feedback?

# data[].attributes.headline
Each step is directly aligned with student data leading instruction. When teachers analyze student data, work together with colleagues to create a plan, implement this plan, and then reflect on the outcome, students have a better chance at succeeding.

The five steps to effective learning is cyclical not linear.

# data[].attributes.body
The Five Steps for Effective Learning really focuses in on "Grounded in student work/ artifacts". You would not get far into the process without first looking at student work to determine the need in order for the process to start! It begins with, hits on in the middle, and ends with student work. It is the guiding force!

I really enjoyed breaking apart a scenario into the 5 different stages. To see how it all can unfold.

# data[].attributes.body
The key takeaway for me from the video was the need for student data to guide how the PLC works. If the students are not at the center of planning, then it is a waste.

# data[].attributes.body
How do you account for the lack of student interest - students who do not try?

# data[].attributes.body
It was focused on assisting the teacher to allow them to better assist the students, take away data, reflect and improve.

# data[].attributes.body
I think students should be taught to feel accountable for school work and test scores and choose to improve them for themselves

# data[].attributes.body
Key take away- This structure can be applied to pretty much everything when it comes to teaching. It serves as a reminder for teachers to make sure we are reflecting and doing what is best for ALL students, not just our top performers.

# data[].attributes.body
Where is the line between, am I giving them enough information to do the assignment themselves vs. am I supporting their learned helplessness by doing too much for them?

# data[].attributes.body
Each step builds on the one before. It is student data driven by evaluating the need first. Growth for teachers means growth for students.

# data[].attributes.body
A key takeaway from the video for me was the importance of analyzing student work samples.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the idea of student ownership but uncertain how to make it work in a 2nd grade classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
This protocol can help reinforce learning for teachers and ensure understanding of expectations. Having a process with feedback and accountability helps teachers feel like what they are doing matters. Seeing the data back up student learning after a teachers has implemented a new strategy is empowering and shows the importance of continued learning.

# data[].attributes.body
It's a continuous cycle. Everything builds on the previous thing. It all leads up to student and teacher achievement.

# data[].attributes.body
Key take away from the video: I love how she said that she sees these five steps as a circle and not a line. It is continuous! It is all focusing on student data and how the teacher can monitor and adjust to directly impact students.

# data[].attributes.body
The Five Step model provides an I Do, We Do, You Do system of learning for teachers that gives them time to work collaboratively to plan, develop, implement, and evaluate the learning to impact student learning and success.

# data[].attributes.body
Key Takeaway-

Student work is the center of what we should be doing. Using this to guide us and show us how they are thinking and what they need. Also, reflection is important in both designs because if we try something new and never reflect we won't know if we changed or if we need to change again.

# data[].attributes.body
As a classroom teacher, where will I find the time to do all of these things as well as teach?

# data[].attributes.body
How do we modify this for students who are behind, have IEPs, no motivation, etc.?

# data[].attributes.body
A key takeaway is how using student work and data to drive lessons and instruction is key. And, like in the video, it is a circle. After every time, it can be evaluated and perfected and adjusted to increase student achievement and success.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved in the video how she said the five steps work in a circle, not a line. It is a continual process that centers around student data. Student data changes every time we assess! But when we actually sit down and look at student work, work with our PLC/teacher groups to improve the work, and we plan and implement proven practices we are able to improve not only our teaching efficiencies but also student achievement.

# data[].attributes.body
Do I let student achievement drive lessons?

# data[].attributes.body
As we analyze student data, what do we do with the the students who did not do well because they did not try or care to try vs the students who didn't do well because of instruction or gaps?

# data[].attributes.body
You must analyze student work and use the data to drive the learning. Using the data also allows reflection as a teacher to see where you may need to improve.

# data[].attributes.body
The video stressed the circular nature of the five steps and how it is all dependant on student work, achievement, and needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Key takeaway:

Effective professional learning must be driven by real student data and supported through a continuous cycle of learning, collaboration, implementation, and reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
The focus of effective PD is moving from teacher focused to student need focused...which is exactly where it should be.

# data[].attributes.body
Can success look different for each kid?

# data[].attributes.body
How do you handle apathy from students?

# data[].attributes.body
It gives a team a shared, reliable way to improve instruction together. The protocol provides structure and routine for adult learning, keeps the work focused on real student and teacher needs, and requires evidence that the learning actually impacts student achievement. When teachers work through the steps as a team, practice with support and coaching, and then see measurable growth in student results, they build confidence that they can move learning in their building. That repeated cycle of working together, using evidence, and getting results is exactly how professional development grows collective efficacy over time.

# data[].attributes.body
Takeaway- using student work for more than just a "grade". It needs to be used to guide us and show us what the students need. I think it's easy at times to just do the work, check the work, grade the work, but not really evaluate the work for reflection of next steps.

# data[].attributes.body
PLC learning is aligned directly will school goals. It is data-driven and student focused.

# data[].attributes.body
Success is measured differently for every student. I'm curious how everyone else deals with this (and that includes apathy).

# data[].attributes.body
How do I adjust lessons to provide my 2nd graders time to reflect on their understanding and set goals that they want to work toward?

# data[].attributes.body
Key takeaway - It's cyclical just like learning! You are constantly reading, analyzing, applying, and improving.

# data[].attributes.body
A key takeaway: Learning should be student data driven for student growth.

# data[].attributes.body
It is directly linked to the student work. We can't make a plan without student data. Anything else is a what if or maybe. We need to model those things to better our instruction to improve said data in our classroom and this leads to a shared goal and steps to reach said goal in our schools together. See the need, develop a plan, work the plan, and circle back to see if you need to revise the plan. We need to look at this the same way we have looked at what we need from PD's. Learning is the same regardless of age. Experience, trust, and relevance......same for the kids...

# data[].attributes.body
How do I help students know they are learning instead of just being done with their work?

# data[].attributes.body
Q2--In a small district, with seasoned staff, how do I get them to put out the effort to make changes like this so late in their educational careers? So many nearing retirement....

# data[].attributes.body
It is imperative that we display an interest and passion for our content (and learning in general). It is the only way to get the students to buy into what we're "selling". I'm trying to teach Macbeth to a group of apathetic seniors, and it is DRAINING! How can we fix it?!?

# data[].attributes.body
Key Takeaway- Student work is important to keep accurate data and pinpoint areas of need.

# data[].attributes.body
The video discusses the importance of continuous learning how to address student needs based on student work.

# data[].attributes.body
How do I get my students to check back over their work before turning it in/having me check over it?

# data[].attributes.body
How do we get students to see the importance of being an active learner?

# data[].attributes.body
What is revealed by students work that the data alone does not show, and how could I use that to guide my instruction?

# data[].attributes.body
Key takeaway from the video- the five steps to effective learning is a circle

# data[].attributes.body
Key Take Away:

The way the principal described the role of the Five Step protocol in her school was encouraging. It shows that principal buy-in is just as important as the teacher leaders and other teachers. I feel that in order to have true buy-in, teachers would have to truly feel like they had the support during the development and apply stages in order for it to be successful.

# data[].attributes.body
How to you account for gaps in instructional level? Meeting the needs of all students??

# data[].attributes.body
Lingering Questions:

Success criteria for every standard (even just essential standards) takes a lot of time and work. How would you suggest a teacher start so they do not get overwhelmed?

# data[].attributes.body
I think my biggest takeaway from the video is the idea that these processes aren't necessarily linear, they're cyclical. The go in a circle and we need to consistently revisit, revise, and review our needs/goals if we are to continue to promote student growth and mastery.

# data[].attributes.body
How can I make sure that the data I'm getting is accurate and reflects the true ability of my students? Do I stop to analyze data enough?

# data[].attributes.body
Key takeaway: Ongoing support. Too often we are given the new learning and it is left at that. These steps help to support teachers, which helps us to achieve those common goals.

# data[].attributes.body
A key takeaway from the video was how learning is like a circle vs a straight line and is continuous. We are constantly building on it by identifying the needs of our students, focusing on how we are going to address those needs and how we are going to obtain new knowledge, etc ….It reminds me of the Circle of Life.

# data[].attributes.body
In an earlier breakout room, we discussed that student success is linked to successful instruction. However, we are all seeing an increase in apathy in our classrooms- from K2 to high school. How can we analyze student data in a way that truly determines whether our instruction is effective?

# data[].attributes.body
Lingering Questions: How do we keep teachers from getting burned out? Teachers become overwhelmed, and there is so much pushback it’s hard to keep everyone on a positive note, which in turn, directly affects student progress.

# data[].attributes.body
In the video, she discusses that it is a circle of a continuous process. Identify the need, process the information, analyze the data, application of interventions planned from analyzing the data, evaluate if the interventions are working, reflection of data, and repeat. Continuous circle of data.

# data[].attributes.body
The importance of modeling and being consistent: I do, we do!

# data[].attributes.body
The Five Steps for Effective Learning Protocol is the process that is built from student needs, by professionals wanting to make an impact in student achievement together. This leads to the conditions that build collective efficacy.

# data[].attributes.body
Key Takeaway: Student Data is where it's at. It makes it personal for me and my students.

# data[].attributes.body
How can we get students to be successful! For me the students must understand and take ownership of their own learning and see value in it. We can only do so much, but what we do is important. So building that relationship and an environment where they feel safe and heard promotes an environment where they can be successful

# data[].attributes.body
Q2- I need to figure out how to make more time for students to reflect and also for me to reflect on our work.

# data[].attributes.body
Each step in the Five Steps for Effective Learning Protocol were intentionally designed to improve instruction and foster collaboration. When a problem is identified for the group, that focuses the scope of the tools/materials being created; relevant research makes for a more usable end product in various settings; practicing within a classroom will improve the outcomes. All of this works together so that students are met with the most effective instruction possible.

# data[].attributes.body
How valuable is showing student work before/after instructional changes are made? Should we only focus on what works, or identify what we THOUGHT would work and didn't?

# data[].attributes.body
When we focus on the student work, we move to more of a student centered approach of learning. We then challenge ourselves to learn with the student and meet those needs.

# data[].attributes.body
The 5 Steps Protocol is a tool that ultimately leads teachers toward Collective Efficacy. It is designed to help teachers analyze and understand data that impacts their students and to choose the next best steps for improving student learning. They are both all about helping teachers to move students toward improvement and ultimately mastery.

# data[].attributes.body
I have to remember that for me and the teachers at my school is that we are just the beginning. By working together to meet the needs of the students, we are giving them a foundations of success that will may not fully see in our time with them.

# data[].attributes.body
Ongoing feedback helps learners refine practice. Teachers are more willing to take instructional risks when they know feedback is part of a supportive system.

# data[].attributes.body
Explicit modeling shows learners exactly what to do and how to do it. Seeing effective practice demonstrated reduces uncertainty and increases confidence that the team can replicate the strategy successfully.

# data[].attributes.body
"Go first"...teachers must struggle first before they can step out. Everything is aligned to student learning outcomes.

# data[].attributes.body
My question is how do I effectively provide time for student reflection on my feedback in order to set their individual goals?

# data[].attributes.body
By examining student performance and collaborating with colleagues to design a targeted instructional plan, teachers can make data-driven decisions. Implementing the plan and reflecting on the outcomes ensures that instruction is purposeful, ultimately increasing the likelihood of meaningful student growth.

# data[].attributes.body
The five steps promote effective collective efficacy by ensuring that plc's are using need and data driven practices and training to drive professional growth.
