Holy Moley!!

Where did the year go? I recall your eager little faces sitting in the space we learned to make our own in the first weeks of this shared adventure. The time was filled with learning, professional growth, possibilities, and- perhaps most precious of all- budding friendships. Like all things new, freshness wears off and is replaced with routine. The urgency and inspiration is often transitions to the reality of deadlines and struggles. Let's face it, we are attempting to move mountains!  In each of you I failed to see that occur; the petals remained fresh; there were no signs of wilting.

Like many, my days are filled with promise and disappointment. I have been stretched to learn more and do more. There remains one constant in my life; however,. I work with amazing people who push me to be the best me I can be. But it really isn't about us, is it? Maybe that reality is our fuel.

You remind me that our work matters. Thank you for an amazing and rewarding year.

Playbooks- I hope we have made progress on updating Playbooks. I will be sharing these with District Leadership, so I'd like them to accurately reflect the great work you are doing. I had promised to send an email but did not send it out yet. There were too many variables expressed at our meeting, and I wanted to check with you first.

Principals' Meeting- The Leadership team is pleased that we want to meet with administrators. We will chat a bit more about this at our meeting. Be thinking, "Equal is not equitable."

# data[].attributes.body
I hope we are all healthy by now. It has been a bit of a challenge, hasn't it?

Meeting- I must verify our meeting location, but I believe we will be meeting in the second floor "CLAS/TEC"  office.  :)

If that changes, I will send an update via Remind. Linda and Robin will present on ELD, module 4. Secondary folks will have time to work on Pioneer Project, continue with the plan, and/or work within their group. I had an awesome time with a small group last week. It is always special to "talk shop" with dedicated professionals like you guys!

Administrator Evaluation- I'd like your feedback about my practice. Some of you have taken the survey. If you have yet to do so, please access the survey via this link. (I will tap a few of you on the shoulder about this; I know surveys are not the best part of our day. However, the high school TEC don't need to worry about it.)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I sincerely hope you all had time to enjoy your time off. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Here are a few things to do before our meeting.

Meeting- We will be in Lab 105.

Administrator Evaluation- I'd like your feedback about my practice. Like you, I strive to do good work but also need to reflect on the way I do what I do. This survey will help. I also welcome the opportunity to have some individual conversations.

Weekly TEC Log- While there may be time to complete the weekly log on Friday, you may want to complete it prior to our meeting. It can be accessed via our  SAUSD Teacher 2 Teacher Website.

# data[].attributes.body
We will be meeting in room 106, possible 106 if the meeting ends at 3pm. See you there.

Meeting Details- Dawn Aguila, TIPS Program Specialist will lead a session related to learning-focused conversations. This will be followed by collaboration opportunties to: work on pioneer projects, create TEC Round 1 survey, and/or work on the Vision Board display.

Secret Pal- Alisa will lead us in an activity for our upcoming TEC holiday celebration. We will select our secret pal for a gift exchange.

TEC Holiday celebration- This will take place at Avila's El Ranchito on 12/23 at noon. Jennifer has made reservations for the group.

TEC Professional Learning Logs- You will recall that your work calendar was short due to the change in position and our August start date. As a result we agreed that self-directed learning would occur. The log for that will submitted to HR as evidence of those duty days. Here is a link to that log: Professional Learning Log

Thank you for creating a welcoming environment for our highschool TEC friends. I appreciate your willingness to review some of our practices. I also thought our discussion around some of the problems of practice was valuable.

Meeting 12/9- IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!
1:00- Our meeting begins at 1pm, Room 106.
1:30 - 3:00- ELD module training (elementary focus). Single subject folks can use the time to review Canvas module or stay for the training.  Another option for single subject TEC is time to collaborate as a TEC team in the CLAS office. Be sure to bring any ELD materials for the training.
3:00- We are pleased there will be an opportunity to collaborate with subject-specific Curriculum Specialists.

TEC Professional Learning Logs- You will recall that your work calendar was short due to the change in position and our August start date.

Evaluation Meetings- Here is the schedule with the evaluation meeting times. Please recall that I am only having meetings with people whom I have visited. Most of you have input your response. Please review to be sure. I will visit and meet with the remainder of you after our winer break. Thanks. Evaluation meetings

We will be meeting in room 106 at 3:00 PM.

Weekly TEC Log- While there may be time to complete the weekly log on Friday, you may want to complete it prior to our meeting. It can be accessed via our  SASUD Teacher 2 Teacher Website.

Vision Boards- Please bring a print out of the QR code for the Vision Board Video you created. Some time will be spent creating a bulletin board. If you have supplies for this, feel free to bring them.

Pioneer Project- Some time will be dedicated to form groups and brainstorm a collaborative educational project. Identify a need we have in the district and be prepared to address it with a small group of dedicated professionals. Be ready to share your ideas.

Schedule- I have been asked to share a calendar with the times of our Friday meetings. Just prior to our break, I updated my calendar to include the times because, like you, I found it challenging to keep up with the start times. Be looking for an Outlook calendar invitation. I hope that will be helpful. I have also put our meetings on the calendar found on our Teacher2Teacher webpage!

New TEC friends- Martin Perez, currently a teacher at Kennedy, will be joining us very soon. I believe he will be at this Friday's meeting. We all know it can be challenging to be new to a cohesive group, so make room at your tables. We may also have some of our high school, part-time TEC folks. These individuals have been offering up their prep time to support teachers at their sites. (I think our little room will be way too cozy!)

ELD trainings - Starting 12/9 Linda and Robyn will be presenting ELD-specific professional learning. They will present at 3 pm on those days we begin early.

Holiday Celebration- Be thinking about a way to share some friendship time before we go on winter break. Our calendars get pretty crazy, so it may be best to dedicate one of our Friday afternoons? Let's get it on our calendar.

Another Great Week of Learning!

We will be meeting at the district office, small room 105.

Personalized learnng through technology- Please find 3 resources (short video, brief article) related to this topic. Create a QR code and print it. Please include the title of the video or article.

Vision Boards- Please bring your vision boards and be prepared to film the presentation/explanation of the board. The goal is to create a QR code that will be displayed alongside the project so others can access it. A brief explanation of our project will be posted next to our Vision project.

Pioneer Project- Out of a conversation during a site visit, an idea is under development. The thought is that TEC groups can be formed to collaborate on an innovative project. We will discuss this at our meeting.

Mexican Consulate- Be prepared to take a short fieldtrip.

Log- Please complete the weekly log.

Monday, 10/31- The district has a tradition of a costume competition and candy buffet. It will be at 11 am, so let's talk about your desire to be part of that. I will make some changes to the plans I have started. No problem. The event is a bit fun.

# data[].attributes.body
Sorry for the cancellation of our meeting at the 4th Street market. I went home sick yesterday and am home today, hoping the rest curtails any really serious illness.

Scheduling problems- We are finalizing the plans for a potential 4th round. It has proved challenging, but it has also proven a true team effort. Thank you. Once finalized, we will share the results.

InfoGraphic- Jennifer has posted the final version below. Thanks, Jen!!

Site Visits- Please sign-up here. I will try to ensure those times stay protected, but my schedule is sometimes not within my control. I apologize in advance if something pops up; however, I am just visiting so there is no need to make special plans.

10/28- Jen Wood will present on academic conversations via the skills of deconstructing text, anchor standards, and questioning.

10/31- Conference week will mean a different schedule. It is going to be a busy week, and I'm excited about what is coming together. I have many details to work out, but here is a preview:
Helen Tross- Collaborative Conversations
Lisa Danielson- Cognitive Coaching
Jen Wood- Not sure, but it will be related to literacy
Marta- National History Day
TEC Sharing-  TEC friends will organically create a day of sharing our knowledge and skills- kind of EdCamp style PD

REMINDER-Report any absence to Maritza.Olivares@sausd.us. Copy me and your site office manager/admin.

Logs- You know what to do.  :)

The Final-

# data[].attributes.body
Hello there! Another Friday is upon us. I'd like to give you a preview of upcoming events:

10/14- ELD Module, part II with Linda & Robin. This will take place in the "CLAS" Office, upstairs. We met there before and that is where we had the Curriculum Specialist Meet & Greet. Secondary folks will meet here but go to another room for secondary-specific work related to the ELD framework.
10/21- Engage 360 has asked for our help, but I need to gain clarification. A small group has signed up on the Google form. I will seek more information and details to share on Friday.
10/28- In response to a worthy request, Curriculum Specialist Jen Wood will present on academic conversations via the skills of deconstructing text, anchor standards, and questioning.
10/31- Conference week will mean a different schedule. We will engage in a variety of professional learning, including a follow-up visit by our Cognitive Coaching consultant, Lisa Danielson. We hope to arrange some group observations that allow us to practice our skills with her support. Other events will be planned, and I hope to build this together. A great idea was shared by Jennifer, so I think it would be wonderful to have one or two days set aside for peer-driven learning stations. To be continued.
Other Important Items

Scheduling problems- Thanks for your great ideas and willingness to be part of the solution. We may need to meet again to strategize. I am so appreciative and want to acknowledge my appreciation for your dedication and professionalism.

InfoGraphic- Jennifer has provided an opportunity for us to collaborate on this important document. I am hoping to send it out next week.

Site Visits- I have visited a few of you, but I am hoping to move forward. Please sign-up here. I will try to ensure those times stay protected, but my schedule is sometimes not within my control. I apologize in advance if something pops up; however, I am just visiting so there is no need to make special plans.

Site visits- I look forward to visiting you all and hope to schedule some visits.

Survey-thanks for a quick turnaround. Jennifer has a first draft of the Info graphic. We will take a look at it during our meeting time.

Problem of practice- a major part of our time will be spent trying to problem solve. We must work together to develop a support plan. More details tomorrow.

Support log- please complete the weekly log as you did prior to the round 1 survey. The link can be found in a previous post below.

Attendance- any absences or attendance issues are sent to Maritza Olivares. She is the secretary who reports your time and attendance. Of course, please inform me and the site.

Directory- If you have not already done so, please add your website link to the directory slide. A Curriculum Specialist directory is currently under construction, and I will share it with you when it becomes more useful- too few on the directory at this point.

Survey Round #1 Feedback- Thanks for your feedback. This week we will finalize the survey during our time together. Afterwards, please take the survey so we can send the analysis out in a timely manner.

Illuminate Training, 9/30- Cesar Gonzalez will provide this training for all TEC next Friday. We may have a sliver of time to reveiw our data. I will work with Cesar.

Text Complexity- A need for text complexity has revealed itself. I spoke with Linda and Robin. They are more than happy to share their knowledge and would like to provide a professional learning opportunity. I will schedule it in October. In the meantime, we will share materials and knowledge.

Problems of Practice- I have the feedback from previouse logs. We will revisit those, as needed. So much happens in between our meeting! Sometimes our priorities shift, but I strive to address the needs we have.

Changes in schedule- Please share any changes in your schedule rotation with me.

Logo- I'd like to strengthen our Social Media presence. For this purpose, I think a logo will help with branding. Let's work on this to ensure we are recognized as a group of dedicated educators who are motivated by learning with our peers. I will work with SAUSD district leadership to ensure we align with any set protocols. I saw some at this website. We would need to purchase the logo.  http://www.gograph.com/clipart/teamwork-helping-logo-gg62973488.html

These items were taken from the weekly TEC log and discussed at our Friday meeting. Thanks for the good problem solving, team!

Hi everyone! I hope you have had a great week. I look forward to seeing you Friday. In the meantime, here are some things to review:

Friday, 9/2-  We will be meeting with Research & Evaluation in their training room (I'm serious.)  It is located across from the cafeteria. Please arrive at 1 pm.

Weekly TEC Log- While there may be time to complete the weekly log on Friday, you may want to complete it prior to our meeting. It can be accessed via our  SAUSD Teacher 2 Teacher Website.

Next Friday, 9/9- I am working with Linda & Robyn to include you in the Trainer of Trainers session for the first ELD module. More details will follow about location, but please plan to arrive at 1 pm. Future ELD module training will take place, and I hope to have you included. This is a great entry point for all of you because you will all be a step ahead with this information.

10/14- Module #2
12/9-   Module #3
2/3-   Module #4

Badges- We have placed an order for your silver magnetized badges. Thank you for providing the information on our document.

Websites- I have reviewed all the links provided on the master list and will soon be working to update our Teacher2Teacher site so that we can each access the websites in that way. If you have not finalized your site, please make that a priority and send me an email with the final link to your site. If you need support, you know where to find me, and you also can email Bryan and/or Wes. (Of course, we have also identified some of our own TEC wizards who love to help!) Also, I ask that everyone update the master list of website links to leave only your final website link. I hope to share these sites with Ed. Services Leadership (Yes! I am bragging about all of you!) in the next couple of weeks, so feel free to make any final jazzy touches.

Work Calendars- Work calendars have been submitted to Human Resources. We have identified 1/12 an 1/13 as the two days representing your online or real-time learning activities. Please keep a log of this time and submit it by May 31, 2017. Access the log here:  TEC Professional Learning Log

Evaluation Plan- Just a reminder, they are due 9/9.

Like all teachers, I must assess my practice. For this reason, I ask for your feedback about our time together during the kick-off. It is a 10-question survey.  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TECSummerKickOff

Hello team,

I am trying to provide communication on one document in lieu of sending bits and pieces.  So this is a list of things still pending. I also have this on our Padlet, which will be how I communicate future “bits and pieces.” I am trying to avoid cluttering your email inbox. Because we will be meeting weekly, I think a weekly Padlet update will be the best way to go.

For this week, here you go:

Please go to this link to provide the information to be on your magnetized employee badge  TEC Badges

Complete the TEC Communication Log & Coach Self-Assessment survey on or before Friday. They are both on the TEC Resource Website: SAUSD Teacher 2 Teacher Website

Provide the link to your website via the form on our Padlet or by clicking on this link TEC websites - Simply paste the URL to your site into the form and hit submit or send.

Workday calendars- Please submit at this Friday’s meeting. (Make a copy for your own records.) I spoke with HR, so this is what we will do:

a.     To add 2 more days- Mark an X on 2 green squares.

b.     As a group, we agreed to select 1/12 and 1/13 to represent the 15 hours of work.*

c.      Please provide me with evidence of online PD completion by May 31. Here are some options:

Google Online Professional Learning                           NGSS Professional Learning Opportunities

IRIS PD learning modules

Employee evaluation plan- Please submit by 9/9

Notes about our Friday meeting:

Please be prepared to present the Adult Learning Theory slides you created. We will dedicate time to reviewing those ideas and consider how adult learning theory will be important to our work. I will provide some time to polish your websites, so bring your devices. Our goal will be to finalize the sites, so I ask that we support one another to accomplish that. These are the two major items on our agenda. Come with an open mind and heart, and we will accomplish a lot! (I believe we will be meeting in the Training Room, but I must verify. Look for signs or stop by my office/the TIPS Dept.

*Some of you spoke to me about work you did in early August. Please touch base with me about this. �QQ;!��

Strategy List

1.  Stem Completion- The presenter introduces ideas and creates a sentence stem that is to be completed by participants.
Example: I am most curious about...

2.  Visual Synectics: This is a way to get the group to stretch their thinking in a unique manner by relating their thinking to a symbol or object.
Example: A teacher is like a salad because.... A coach is like a city with a bridge because...

3. Learning Partners:
Symbols are depicted on paper, each with one line under the image. Participants mingle with others to identify and record the name of one person under each image. These "learning partners" will share ideas at different points of the training session. (h/o p.25)

4. Think, Write/ Pair Share
Participants think and write about a topic. This allows for individual and personal idea formation. (Introverts especially need this.)  After thinking and writing, they then share with ONE partner. (Using the Learning Partners strategy is an option.)  NOTE: Language is important- A focus on "the data,  the lesson," etc. makes it neutral. This is less threatening, learning-focused, and safe.

5. Read and Example
All participants read assigned passage (We used Book, p. 2-4). Assign "A" and "B" partners and tasks:
Example:

Everyone reads p. 2.

"A" partners summarizes, both partners craft examples.

Everyone reads p.3

"B" partners summarize, both partners craft examples.

Everyone reads p. 4

"A" partners summarize, both partners craft examples.

6. Say Something- Reading focus strategy. Read a short chunk and "say something" about.  Read another chunk, and then say something, etc.  This is done with partners.

7. One Word Summary
Synthesis strategy- Choose one word that represents the day. Explain why? Choose a speaker to share out. Generally done with table groups at the end of a shared learning session.

DAY 2

8. 3-2-1  +1
This is used to recapture ideas from previous learning/activities. (Handout, p. 19)
First step: Individuals record:
3- key ideas from Day 1
2- strength/stretch (regarding previous learning/activity)
1- point to ponder
Step 2:
Partners discuss these ideas. As the do, they will record new ideas in a +1 column.
Step 3:
After discussion, generate questions and discuss.

Day 3

Paraphrase Workout
The group was asked, "Given what you know about, what can you tell me about... " After this initial conversation, the group engaged in an activity that allowed individuals to practice the skill of paraphrasing.

Line-up Beverage
This is used to organize the group into a line that will later be reorganized into pairs or small groups. Participants line up in alphabetical order according to their favorite beverage. Lisa later had group create A and B partners to engage in a Paired conversation.

Paired- (Verbal fluency was topic.)
Give content with which participants are familiar. Partner A shares, Partner B shares. This continues with each partner being sure not to repeat an idea shared by the other. NOTE: Lisa made clear that it should be a large concept that lends itself to a wide opportunity for dialogue.
