PLC+ Chapter 5 (Sum. 21 Cohort) by hostetter.edu https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/b8ex030424ua9rwp What did we learn today? en-us 2021-07-12 11:49:34 UTC 2025-11-29 17:37:43 UTC hello@padlet.com When I share information with folks, I will likely share that the question “What did we learn today” is as much about adults as it is about students. Folded into that big idea is expert noticing and intentional reflection. ~Lynn Flood, AMS https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/b8ex030424ua9rwp/wish/1647748626 2021-07-13 14:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/b8ex030424ua9rwp/wish/1647748626 Reflection! eeverett4 https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/b8ex030424ua9rwp/wish/1647748855 I will share that reflection is key to the PLC+ process.

It's important that we look at students' achievement levels to determine how we need to adjust our instruction; however, we also need to meet students where they are and develop a plan to move them forward.

So often our highly intelligent student do well on their assessments and we don't think about their growth. many years ago I had a student that made an A in my class but he put no effort into it and my comment was that he wasn't living up to his potential. Reflecting on that I now know I should have been putting more effort into pushing him not only to get an A but to make progress. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/b8ex030424ua9rwp/wish/1647749469 2021-07-13 14:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/b8ex030424ua9rwp/wish/1647749469 Reflection should result in action that moves learning forward. scochran26 https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/b8ex030424ua9rwp/wish/1647749495 2021-07-13 14:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/b8ex030424ua9rwp/wish/1647749495 Expert noticing https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/b8ex030424ua9rwp/wish/1647749505 The scenarios in the chapter about expert noticing reminded me about how important it is.
