PD Notes 20-21 by barb https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR Use this space to record ideas for creating more efficient processes and improvement schoolwide. en-us 2017-06-08 14:49:05 UTC 2026-01-31 19:26:54 UTC hello@padlet.com Rotations for logistics presentations worked except the presenters did not get others' information. For example- Rowdy did not know about the OBB form procedures because he was presenting AP information. We should set up a time for the presenters to present to each other. https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/398935802 2019-10-17 10:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/398935802 Early Summer or even Spring. We should set up a calendar meeting with all admin involved an set straight the number and types of duties for teachers. Some think they have special arrangements and it gets sticky throughout the year. If we do it in the Spring, it gives those teachers an opportunity to bow out of their EDA before the end of the year if they don't agree with our decision. For example, Maffei and dance duties, and Place and graduation duties. https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/398942701 2019-10-17 11:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/398942701 Observations - schedule all first observations prior to 10/25 or whatever deadline is given by HR- reference WW bplunkert https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/402016624 2019-10-24 13:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/402016624 Only invite targeted students to transition program like it was in the inaugural year (Watkins, Book, Middleton) https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/405158242 2019-10-31 18:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/405158242 What is our focus with moving the school forward?

Too much too quick - disjointed! ]]> 2019-11-12 16:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/410086861 Faculty Handbook? bplunkert https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/410087368 When was this last updated? What procedures can we clean up and finalize prior to the school year that can be presented in a handbook style for teachers.
Did we ever do this in year's past? Purpose? Goals? Outcomes?
Can duty schedules and various adjusted schedules be made available ahead of time?
early dismissal plans - ironed out instead of game day decisions.
Will we try to see all classes missed? Or just finish up the classes as scheduled and leave when dismissed. ]]> 2019-11-12 16:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/410087368 Speaker for Climate bplunkert https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/410117957 Set this up over the summer - secure funds as well ]]> 2019-11-12 17:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/410117957 Nov 11 - FM bplunkert https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/410207751 In between sports!

Is that fair to other departments?]]> 2019-11-18 15:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/412771818 Vertical articulation bplunkert https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/417190427 Worked out well...suggestion
an earlier date - Late October or early November.
After MAP and PARCC scores are available and before course recommendations are handed out

Unfortunately, PARCC scores aren't coming back until at least December.

Follow up learning walk could be coordinated by chairs to set up personalized LW on various days in January. Not necessary to do it all in one day or have it be uniform. ]]> 2019-11-27 16:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/417190427 Math School Wide? bplunkert https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/420205066 We are focusing on literacy and making strides...what about math?

Math Literacy school wide?!

This could translate to each SE group for each grade level - everyone can support in their content areas and we can pepper in strategies each month for improving reading levels across the board. Is grade 6 reading level really "within normal range" for a 9th grader? What can we do to move all kids forward? ]]> 2020-01-07 14:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/428401651 Can our key actions be PLCs? Especially for the teachers who work to close the gap? bplunkert https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/429524425 As we saw during the FM on Jan 6, only a small group of teachers work with these kids...how can we maximize their time and efforts to impact growth in various areas?]]> 2020-01-09 15:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/429524425 Probably should have Peggy Kopp at the initial meeting for vertical teaming- the information that she shared at the meeting in January was very meaningful. https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/430124189 2020-01-10 17:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/430124189 PD Plan for Next Year bplunkert https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/430847873 Could all FM time be devoted to Climate and SEL

Give lollipops thorughout the year???]]> 2020-01-22 18:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/434713095 What about a special wed schedule every week. bplunkert https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/436660166 Like extended HR every Wednesday. This could be used for study hall, small group climate conversations - time used for any and all supplemental activities that take place.
- Fire Drills
- Grade level meetings
- Assemblies
- Could this time be used for guidance lessons
- Registration

Maybe once a month - we could use a class meeting to offer PLC time for content area teachers?

Would love to run teacher PLC on this topic especially in the beginning few weeks of school. Joe said he is all in for this..but how would this look logistically?
- really like to have 30 people participate
- study will be about 3 months (meet more frequently, then after 3 months meet periodically to support teachers)

Make it Stick - book possibly
providing students who didn't previously have advanced academic; these strategies deferentially influence students wtih lower cogntive capabilities - strong evidence for closing the gap!

AP teachers are finding students do not have the background skills and teachers dont have the efficacy or skills to help students study better. These would be the measurable things. How well they implement learning strategies + how well they can implement them. +++ Connection to AP goals set by Super ]]> 2020-02-11 18:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/443873611 ILT data driven convos bplunkert https://padlet.com/bplunkert/4stagesFR/wish/445025914 Agenda templates for ILT meeting and department meetings to support
