I really love the emails Penzu sends me about my past journal entries. It's so good to see where I was then and where I am now.

Journaling is life-saving.

The Galileo Educational Network has had the privilege of serving the educational community since 1999. Over the past 21 years, we have provided professional learning to over 40,000 dedicated leaders and teachers supporting and encouraging them to improve, strengthen, and change their professional practices to become more effective and innovative. We have contributed to the research literature in areas such as design-based professional learning, school and district leadership, design orientations to leading and teaching, responsive teaching, student intellectual engagement, and effective mathematics teaching. Unfortunately, like many good ideas, our time has come to an end as a formal organization. We know that many educators use our website for resources.
As a courtesy to those individuals we will maintain our website until June 30, 2021.

Impacts of Design-based Professional Learning for New Teachers

Teachers new to the profession require additional supports to strengthen teaching practices and launch them on a trajectory of success and career long learning. Working in collaboration with a large urban school jurisdiction, Galileo designed and engaged cohorts of probationary teachers in a year long professional learning series. The focus of this series was to support new teachers in building competency to better meet the expectations of the Teaching Quality Standard (Alberta Education, 2018). Throughout the series new teachers engaged in cycles of learning where they were invited to design authentic discipline-based tasks and assessment practices to improve the learning of their students. These learning cycles also required teachers to gather evidence of the impact of their teaching on student outcomes and review this evidence with colleagues at each subsequent session.

Over the course of the 2018-19 school year, researchers from Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary, studied this professional learning intervention and found statistically significant growth of these new teachers in four competencies of the Alberta Teaching Quality Standard: (1) demonstrating professional body of knowledge (through planning and designing learning activities, using instructional strategies to engage students in meaningful learning activities, applying assessment and evaluation practices); (2) engaging in career-long learning, (3) establishing inclusive learning environments when designing learning, and (4) applying foundational knowledge about First Nations, Métis and Inuit to Learning Designs.

The video reflects the learning experiences of teachers who participated in this professional learning series.
