We were never told. It, "felt like a dog-and-pony show." Why do I need to present it? If there's a problem/issue/inquiry, why can't I be approached? Grade-level collaborations would be more beneficial. ]]> 2017-10-30 15:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/201789601 https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/201789944 Needs to be short answer questions. What do the administrators want on there and let's get to the point. Quit the "big show" and weed out the unimportant stuff.]]> 2017-10-30 15:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/201789944 https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/201790135 Unfortunately, in the current format, technology is too much of a distraction. Sadly, it feels like we spend hours preparing material that is not really paid any attention when we present it live. 

Possibilities:
1-Admin comes to Collaboration meeting Wednesdays.
2-No Admin can be on technology during the discussions.
3-We can show you our process instead of putting answers into a presentation.
4-Send us questions ahead of time and we'll talk to you about them. (And specific data points you want to see)

Just ask us..."Whatcha ya doing in class?"]]> 2017-10-30 19:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/201909403 https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/201911381 I feel we spent a lot of time creating the information into a specific format.  This took time away from preparing for our classroom instruction and opportunities to teach to the best of our abilities.

Possibilities:
1-I can create a graph with a "power standard" showcasing the growth of my students, but I would rather show the one student in my classroom who has made the largest strides and explain the strategies I used to get them there.
2-Tell me what you want to know beforehand.]]> 2017-10-30 19:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/201911381 lstienkemeyer https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/201911392 We feel that having conversations with admin would be more  beneficial. If they would give us a few questions to focus that they would like answers to, we could absolutely have honest conversations about those. 

As for data in SS, how beneficial is it to show the growth from a pre and a post test when most of the content is brand new and not actually 
applying a skill?]]> 2017-10-30 19:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/201911392 spulliam https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/201911615

DO NOT DO IT IN DECEMBER!  Too much already going on!  

What's the point for us to tell you the data that you already know?  If we are being effective, then we already know the data and we make adjustments based upon the needs of our students.  If we are not effective then admin needs to talk to the teachers that are not effective and deal with them rather than including the entire population of teachers.

We need to adjust our thinking in terms of how we do things. We need to think about the kids and how to help them as opposed to how to please the Administration. What we are doing is NOT working and we are wasting a lot of time not to mention causing a lot of stress among teachers.

But the other stuff from the last presentation should be done with each individual collaboration team. 
Some buildings would require past or previous data or info to be able to accurately track their current data.

putting on the dog and pony show takes away from our motto every student every day
tell us expectation up front
why are we doing 
one of the most stressful things teachers have to do.
making competition between the schools]]> 2017-11-07 16:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/204449224 https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/204453039 **Admin directive must be clear and concise.  It must also be specific data that can be analyzed vertically to get a clear snapshot as to the direction of our kids and our curriculum.
**Try to find a way to focus less on competition..

Address us on a human level. We are here for the right reasons. We try to do our best. 
Data presentations were unwarranted stress and a waste of time. 
I appreciate that we are to the point, I hope, as a district where we are fixing the things that are wrong and not just saying, "Do this because I told you so and it's always been done that way." This was a real shock. ]]> 2017-11-07 20:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/204584941 abono2 https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/204585013 While it started at as a way to look at data it has changed over the years and made buildings competitive in not a good way]]> 2017-11-07 20:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/204585013 https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/204585522 The concept is great, however, things have gone a little crazy and everyone trying to compete with one another. 

Having a common expectation and requiring teachers to talk about data allows for new teachers to learn and veteran teachers to be marigolds. ]]> 2017-11-07 20:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/6rvxcpociz1b/wish/204585522
