CCL Board Meeting: June & October 2022 by Linda Laughlin https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd Reflecting on the 2021-2022 School Year en-us 2022-06-02 15:22:10 UTC 2025-12-28 07:50:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Learning Hub sstjames https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210239916 We launched a more inclusive, responsive district leadership group including a wide variety of staff and some excellent students. We took a while to "warm up," but we found our groove and were able to do some great stuff. I'm excited to carry momentum into next year!]]> 2022-06-03 14:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210239916 Data, data, data sstjames https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210242193 We need to get caught up on data. Our assessments are all over the place, we don't use data effectively, efficiently, or consistently. Learning Hub is setting up an offshoot group to manage data and assessments for the district, and I'm hopeful that this team can both learn and teach about assessment & data literacy and establish norms and procedures for gathering, analyzing, and using all kinds of student data.]]> 2022-06-03 14:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210242193 We had 12 multiage classes this year in elementary and will have 12 again next year. We have had successful implementation of using learning progressions and self-paced math in over half of our elementary classrooms and in the area of math and science at the middle school and high school. The Learning Walks at the Elementary were a huge success and we are looking to continue next year at elementary and move also to middle school in 2022-2023. fasickt1 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210245309 2022-06-03 14:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210245309 We are looking to move to a standards based report card in grades 3 and 4. We need to continue to look at assessments and also use data to make sure we are meeting kids where they are and helping them to grow forward. fasickt1 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210248083 2022-06-03 14:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210248083 Early Literacy Instruction sstjames https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210248565 I'll sneak in another accomplishment from 21-22 as an intro to our need for 22-23 and beyond. We adopted a new math program K-5 and really inundated elementary teachers with PD and support in teaching math with a conceptual, mindset-oriented approach. It has helped! Meanwhile, reading instruction is in disarray, and writing instruction has been nearly nonexistent for a couple years. So I want to learn how we can shape an effective, science-based literacy instructional approach without imposing a program or "canned" curriculum on teachers. Balance structure/consistency with flexibility; balance Science of Reading with balanced literacy; balance MCL concepts and structures with a coherent progression and consistent approach.]]> 2022-06-03 14:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210248565 Customized PD (Deb) https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210248898 We used Zoom to make our early release PD time more efficient. In addition, we designed a system that included a feedback loop and enabled voice and choice about topics and groupings. This allowed staff to suggest needed PD topics, to choose the topics they wished to pursue, and to group themselves flexibly across grade levels and content areas if they wished. They feedback about this design was overwhelmingly positive.]]> 2022-06-03 14:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210248898 Continue to learn about effective assessment and how to use learning progressions in ELA to create learning paths. fasickt1 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210249449 2022-06-03 14:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210249449 Quality Instruction, particular in Math (Deb) https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210251367 We are looking to increase our depth of knowledge about ow learners development mathematical understanding and to embed in this learning what we know about designing ideal learning experiences. In other words, we will continue to reinforce what we know about complex reasoning and habits of mind.]]> 2022-06-03 14:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210251367 Forward Thinking WPS_Padlet https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210252514 Our teachers in several forums expressed and communicated what customized practices they are eager to resurrect.

I believe this is the best way to start returning some of our practices and structures that were lost due to the pandemic and district initiatives.]]> 2022-06-03 14:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210254538 Learning Progressions kara_martin1 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210254547 Continued work on our learning progressions and the impacts to grading/report cards]]> 2022-06-03 14:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210254547 Including more learner voice and choice WPS_Padlet https://padlet.com/llaughlin/41bvbz9zey1fmckd/wish/2210256294 We have curricular programs that aren't going away and the response from the district is "integrate." Our staff seems interested in how to do this integration and include more opportunity for voice and choice.  Kyle
