GWG Team Supports by Madeline Black https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u Made in service of our future en-us 2021-12-15 19:10:57 UTC 2026-02-25 10:57:12 UTC hello@padlet.com PLCs leadingbyinfluence https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1950281685 I would like to explore structuring the PLC's based on team experience. Teams could benefit from more targeted supports. However, I do think new teams benefit from interaction with more experienced clubs. I imaging a few times year when new and experienced teams meet together in a larger PLC.  Thoughts?]]> 2021-12-15 19:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1950281685 leadingbyinfluence https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1950284192 Please share your voice on other topics for the greater good. ]]> 2021-12-15 19:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1950284192 leadingbyinfluence https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952400781 2021-12-16 18:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952400781 Exchange of Ideas beutlerkaren https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952454339 For those attending the exchanging of ideas is fantastic.]]> 2021-12-16 18:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952454339 Addressing Specific Needs beutlerkaren https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952456944 Coaches have reached for specific needs and this makes sense. When they feel they need support, then they have asked. Areas where I have assisted:
Level 2 - getting jr mentors started
Level 3 - explaining the esports playbook]]> 2021-12-16 18:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952456944 Time Zone Differences beutlerkaren https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952458818 Even though we are only one hour difference between Manitoba and Ontario, this has proven to be a challenge. Manitoba can't start until 4pm which is 5pm in Ontario when coaches are on their way home.]]> 2021-12-16 18:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952458818 @madeline, Kendall, Anne and I met with a focus group of GWG champs today to gain feedback on a variety of topics. Anne has the doc if you want to gain some additional perspective. https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952459269 2021-12-16 18:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952459269 Attendance - Add On beutlerkaren https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952460673 The idea of PLCs is fantastic, but this is "Add on" time that the coaches need to put into GWG. If they are new to it, then they might not mind. However, if they have been involved for a few cohorts it is "add on".  
Potential Solution: Just have office hours for drop in with experienced coaches.. ]]> 2021-12-16 18:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952460673 Teacher champs really appreciate the ALP coaches; they express the levels of support when we pull focus groups to get feedback. https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952460975 2021-12-16 18:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952460975 They want to know about level 2 and 3. Let's work together to get them interested! https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952461593 2021-12-16 18:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952461593 Finding Common Time beutlerkaren https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952464511 These coaches are busy people running the club, teaching, etc. So to find a common time for all to meet was impossible. Even with a Doodle we couldn't find a common time. 
Potential Solution: Maybe offer a few PLC times in one week and hope that they can attend one if timing is the issue.]]> 2021-12-16 19:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952464511 Support beutlerkaren https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952473667 All coaches/teacher champions new to a level received 1:1 support (8 hours for their coach and/or club).

Those coaches with experience can join a PLC.

All teams are assigned a PL Facilitator who will address their questions.]]> 2021-12-16 19:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1952473667 Knowledge sharing bsherry1 https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961189595 Coaches attending PLCs had questions answered, examples shared and most importantly had time to get advice and tips from experienced coaches about the different ways they organized their teams. Most questions from my PLC were about how to integrate L2 into the club as most were new to it, including me. We arrived at 5-6 pm EST which worked best for the Ontario teams.]]> 2021-12-22 22:39:55 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961189595 New Learning about L2 bsherry1 https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961191005 Supporting the virtual team club with new L2 girls and getting that going was helpful to the coaches. The L2 girls have been able to support with the MEE learning for new girls, as needed. Coaches appreciated help with surfacing ideas about SDGs through facilitating brainstorming sessions. ]]> 2021-12-22 22:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961191005 Agreed that time to meet was the biggest factor. I would agree with the idea shared here of multiple sessions over a week at different times would be best. Drop in times might also work although the figuring the POE and PL time for that could be a challenge? bsherry1 https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961192225 2021-12-22 22:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961192225 Asynchronous PL Options bsherry1 https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961200590 Fully virtual PL options for coaches might help with their scheduling challenges. Could they explore modules and then be assigned a coach to have asynchronous conversations in Flipgrid or Teams?]]> 2021-12-22 22:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961200590 Scaffolding/Personalized Options bsherry1 https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961204122 Full Support with PL for teacher coaches in Cohort 1

Second cohort and beyond get PLC options 

Making more explicit as an option to have a MEE GWG Club without the build competition, especially in Cohort 1. ]]> 2021-12-22 23:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961204122 Coach mentoring bsherry1 https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961205132 How are we celebrating our coaches who are stepping up to build capacity in the school or district as they mentor other educators? ]]> 2021-12-22 23:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/leadingbyinfluence/2a2jlmplq9f3ie4u/wish/1961205132
