I am confused as to why this framework was abandoned. We desperately need coherent, high-quality PD that is guided by a clear, overarching framework for effective teaching. The best framework I have found is Culturally Responsive Teaching. Can we please return to this overarching framework? The one-day CRT PD that was delivered by ToSAs three years ago was excellent, but just scratched the surface. Why did we not follow up on this? Why was there no CRT part 2 or 3 or 4? Why does the district change tack on PD every year? We have done Deeper Learning practices (but never went into all four practices besides a surface-level intro), then we focused on inquiry and building effective teams (but schools got to choose which one). Then AB/AR but with very little application (almost all theory). CRT is a powerful practice-based umbrella framework for all of these. Without an overarching framework for effective teaching and learning, teachers and admin are learning lists of strategies or just theory with very little practice and neither is actually going to transform schools or practice. The skills associated with CRT are sophisticated and take time and sustained support to develop. If this district really wants to improve teaching and learning, PD MUST be coherent and sustained. That still hasn't happened despite years of feedback and tons of research that says without a coherent, sustained approach to professional development, instruction will not change. Please continue with CRT. Make sure the folks designing and delivering the PD have the skills to do so, work collaboratively (rather than in silos working on just parts of the PD), and include formative assessment in their PD, so that the final product is high quality, coherent, responsive, and builds participants' capacity over time.]]> 2022-02-23 00:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mcanada8/5zqtth90669gfjzo/wish/2061602202 https://padlet.com/mcanada8/5zqtth90669gfjzo/wish/2061609026 Grading for equity cohort and year long cycle of inquiry with PD support ]]> 2022-02-23 00:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mcanada8/5zqtth90669gfjzo/wish/2061609026 mdenton9 https://padlet.com/mcanada8/5zqtth90669gfjzo/wish/2061612362 Though it's vital we keep ourselves trained and effective on evolving pedagogy, there is a greater sense of social and emotional strain among the entire profession, and perhaps particularly in HUSD.

This was not even an agenda on this month´s LCC meeting. As a result, I would like an extension so that I can contact my department at MEHS and get their input. 
Nevertheless, I believe SM needs time to collaborate as a district WL department and we need PD, if any, in the following:
1. Heritage Student Curriculum.
2. How to maintain and or reengineer articulation with remediation, leveraging in-house resources (NOT outsourcing)  for post-pandemic learning loss.

These experiences positively affect our work. The Art is Ed workshops are one case in point in HUSD; all participating elementary teachers repeatedly shared the value of this type of professional development. What we need is PD for secondary level VAPA teachers. I don't have a brilliant idea YET but my dream workshop would be something that helps us to collaborate across VAPA sub-departments/subject areas for a culminating performance piece, combining all the arts. ( It has been done here, it has also been done elsewhere- the idea isn't new. But would like to see it cross over to all parts of VAPA...)

Teachers following SDAIE practices help ELL students by:

1. Analyzing material from point of view of students with limited English proficiency.
2. Activating students background knowledge.
3. Presenting material and lessons orally as well as increasing the use of visuals, graphic organizers, manipulative and hands-on-learning experiences.
4. Using simple language for communicating as well as limiting the use of idioms, jargon and complex sentence structures.
5. Reinforcing learning of language along with content and curriculum.
6. Regularly assessing and monitoring student program

Notes of what is needed by "Prep" teachers in multiple subjects

AB 493 (2019) encourages that we  train teachers in 7-12 every 2 years. AB 1266 explains how we are empowered to support transgender and non-binary youth. Staff needs to develop shared understanding about gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation and HOW to help students and families. SB 48 Fair, Accurate Inclusive and Respectful (FAIR Act) specifies that LGBTQ+ people's contributions are included in history and other curriculum. There are many other laws that guide what is needed. More on Bullying Prevention support for staffs beyond the electronic module. While it might seems like PD for this is about a specific groups of people only, most people have a gender and sexual orientation. When we are making our schools safer for lgbtq+ youth, we make schools safer for everyone, because some people might perceive another person to be lgbtq and be treated in a certain way, or some people might have various gender expression that is outside of what is thought of as a traditional man or woman, so when we create affirming environments for lgbtq+ youth, staff and families, we are creating affirming environments for everyone.]]> 2022-03-18 16:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mcanada8/5zqtth90669gfjzo/wish/2102249501 https://padlet.com/mcanada8/5zqtth90669gfjzo/wish/2102266043 It would be great to have sessions on healthy interpersonal communication. Listening, understanding and expressing needs and boundaries, recognizing body sensations and understanding feelings, listening for needs underneath, how we frame requests and make agreements, what it feels like to hear "no". How to repair in 1-1 relationships. Practicing mindful awareness as a foundation for these healthy communication practices. These are some of the practices within Non-Violent Communication. These practices can be foundational for our professional relationships as well as our ability to facilitate restorative practices.
