Overall, I think the session went well. I think participants were excited about the resources provided and getting real time to engage with them.

It was really helpful having Melissa (PPS) in the room with me to answer Portland Specific questions immediately and to give additional context.

I wish we had the content sooner - that is out of our control but I think really being able to understand both the session objectives and MLL resource would have better prepared us with a longer runway

The opportunity to have dinner at Jason's house was awesome. It was a great place to have like minded individuals gather and really discuss the work. They were so welcoming and it really was just nice to engage with them.

My participants were excited about the resource and glad to have a lot of time to actually look at the resource. It was easy to find the school and get set up.

We had a great dinner Thursday night!

More context around which materials were created by Portland vs Wit and Wisdom and the rationale behind the creation of the materials

Participants really appreciated the resources AND learning about fluency. I don't think that they had ever gone that in depth with it before.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the PD leaned too heavily on the fluency work and didn't actually explain the resource enough.

There was also a lot of different types of participants in the sessions that we weren't expecting. (SLPs, third grade acceleration crew, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
It would have been helpful to have a clearer picture of the type of educators in the room and their role in PPS

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was a lot of information at once so although they were engaged and excited about the materials I could also tell they were overwhelmed by it. I think maybe doing this over the 2 day period if the fluency portion remains in the session.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated this team's willingness and enthusiasm to facilitate a new session - I thought we showed a good team spirit - including sharing notes and offering feedback - and that contributed to our overall success in PPS

# data[].attributes.body
Just having two separate handout packets would have been easier, separating the fluency handouts from the resource. Akin to writing where we give participants the Writing Handouts separately from the Writing Resource packet

# data[].attributes.body
I think a few teachers had a different idea of the focus of the session, and it's goals

# data[].attributes.body
The prep sessions were useful and intentional. I enjoyed working with the team with these materials in order to prepare for the session.

# data[].attributes.body
Fellows were amazingly prepared.

# data[].attributes.body
Having a lead district employee in the room was helpful to address some PPS specific questions

# data[].attributes.body
Also, the fluency and resource seemed a little disjointed. But that could've just been me as a facilitator.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm concerned about wrapping Fluency PD around MLL resources - I think that we will overlapping audiences that may unwittingly produce redundancy in our PD offerings

# data[].attributes.body
The prep sessions were helpful as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Those that fully engaged in the practical applications of coaching saw the benefits and understood how to make this work for them.

Fellowship dinner -

# data[].attributes.body
Participants appreciated resources - excited, wanting to see the resources, excited about application
PPS representatives were present and could answer PPS district facing questions - Melissa was jumping in, "can I add something?"
everything was on their website

it was helpful for session learning when all members of the team were present - they hadn't yet participated in Launch - didn't have baseline understanding

Participant knowledge of WW was uneven

PPS models for MLL instruction were not shared prior

# data[].attributes.body
content of the session - fluency portion - felt disjointed
valued the fluency exercise but participants needed a more explicit connection from fluency PD and MLL resource
stronger connections between fluency experiential learning and MLL exploration
no explicit "ORGANIZE" stage for the MLL resource

Fluency practice wasn't a priority area for all educators in the session

participants wanted the big overview of the MLL resource

more overview of the big picture/trajectory of MLL PD

in the "hot" room - teachers thought that they were going to use the MLL resource right away

# data[].attributes.body
teacher push back:  why WW wasn't going to work, teacher arrived after lunch, resistant to fluency coaching

PPS representative:  spoke up, teacher is known for being vocal

resistance:  it would have been more helpful to know more about the PPS context, what models for MLL support are they using?

Feedback on the resources: could have been shared prior to the session itself

# data[].attributes.body
Non ELD teachers were present including speech language pathologists - wasn't super useful for them

Acceleration 3rd grade team - they were not the right people in this session - communication was not clear for this team of people

# data[].attributes.body
what are their desired goals?
Who is in the room?
What are their instructional models?
Four corners activity could be moved earlier - how to make the session relevant and urgent for all participants

questionaires - where do you stand with the curriculum? some kind of needs assessment?

# data[].attributes.body
There will be more PPS MLL sessions this year

Geodes Launch or MLS would be a good session for PPS

Fluency protocol with Geodes content - showing teachers how to use Geodes for Fluency practice
