Agree: I agree with the questions that need to be asked on pg 39.
Argue I paused and thought about the "Divided learning intentions.  Not an argument, just a pause that it is much more than a posted objective on the board. How to help teachers understand is my task.

Agree- There is more to a PLC than discussing students in a random way on a certain day of the week.
Argue- It takes a lot of training and building of capacity to get all members comfortable with leading a PLC
Aspire to: Promote the use of "teacher clarity" in articulating why a particular lesson is chosen. It can't be because this is what "we have always done."]]> 2020-05-22 13:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588933417 https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588933452 Assumptions: PLTs will need support in unpacking standards

Agree: On page 41...Learning is a civil right
Argue: Do we have more than one activator role in a PLT?
Aspire to: I aspire to use the information from the chapter, especially the information around learning intentions.

Idea of trust
Agree-four crosscutting values ( equity, high expectations, individual/collective efficacy & activism.
Argue-not opposed, but wondered about the idea of when do learning walks- do not need to see the same learning/task happening across the grade team.
Aspire-support teaches to make connections to "design thinking"-Begin with the End in Mind- and to EL curriculum of backwards planning ]]> 2020-05-22 13:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588934680 khurelbrink https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588934725 Assumptions: PLT has already established trust among the group.
Agree: The idea that the pacing guide is merely a guide. Not a "all on the same page" each day.
Argue/Question: Really thought about how they broke down the learning intentions. Seems like this could be easily implemented with PLTs.
Aspire To: Analyzing and developing a clear learning progression. ]]> 2020-05-22 13:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588934725 https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588934879 Assumptions: Pow and understand be able to do.

Agree- "In order to have equity, teachers have to have high expectations for all students."
Argue for the expectations are the same for all students however the way that each student gets there might be different.
Aspire to be able to build the value of language intentions within teaching and learning.]]> 2020-05-22 13:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588934978 https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588935045 Assumptions: Perhaps that unpacking standards is an easy task for all teachers. Don't really see many assumptions.
Agree: I agreed with pretty much the entire chapter. It really validated our work and provided validation of my personal pedagogical practices making it easy to agree with. :)
Argue: No arguments here!
Aspire: Continue to message/communicate the information found within the text and model PLT+ Analyzing Standards Practices.

There are activators at each PLC+ to get the work done
Admin supports and values PLCs


Agree: on page 51 regarding 1 mistake PLCs make is the lack of attention to evidenced based instruction

Argue: If the effect size of programmed instruction is only .23 why are we emphasizing this in our district?  This book argues against it. (page 51)

Aspire: The idea of adding social learning intentions will support our SEL initiative]]> 2020-05-22 13:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588935302 https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588935315 Assumptions: That all PLTs' dynamics are positive.
Agree:  Developing a clear understanding of what students are expected to articulate about their learning.

-All school leaders value and understanding the purpose of PLCs.  
-Teachers have flexibility and input at the school level to decision making around PLC structures
-Teachers want to work collaboratively

Agree
The need to revisit standards regularly to "recalibrate" expectations 
Idea that we need to consider demands for students in content, language and social interactions
The learning progression needs to be outlined and can be different for different students
There is a need for teachers to have a level of consistency but also be provided the autonomy to support individual student needs
Argue (Makes me wonder)
If we provide autonomy for teachers in individual PLCs to have these discussions, how to we ensure equitable opportunties or develop consistencies across our large district

Aspire to
Encouraging teachers to not just look at the standards, but to have conversations around what skills are demanded by those standards and how that learning progression should be developed. Also, being clear about expectations across content, language and social interactions.]]> 2020-05-22 13:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588935652 https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588935723 Assumptions-PL needs to address beyond content
Agree; need to address culturally responsive teaching
Argue-not all teachers no what/how to teach
Aspire to have rigorous learning for all students]]> 2020-05-22 13:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588935723 https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588938464 Assumptions - that all schools have adequate time built into the week for PLTs to complete these types of standards dives
Agree - Always start with the end in mind!
Argue - Some PLTs are fractured which can make this process difficult
Aspire - To encourage PLTs to consistently "recalibrate" by revisiting the standards to be clear about the rigor around the standard]]> 2020-05-22 13:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588938464 https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588939326 Assumptions- That all staff has a good understanding of the purpose of PLTS, that the procedures are in place and the team know s how to engage in productive dialogue.  That everyone understands how equity and high expectations are embedded in their work.  That everyone take responsibility and believes they can make a difference.
I agree with enough training and coaching this can happen.
I am concerned that teachers will not see the benefits of using time to use the tools provided.
I aspire to introducing one tool at a time so teachers can learn from the experience that the tools are helpful.

Author uses a lot of examples in this chapter of a highly functioning PLT/PLC as well as having the gift of time to complete
Agree: SBTP on page 36 discusses steps and great practices such as selecting the specific standard for the specific content aligned with the pacing guide. As we all discuss the content of the standard and identify concepts as well as the skills in the standards/expectations.
Argue: Pacing guides are not always accurate or current/up to date. The chapter focuses a lot of using the pacing guide. There is some PLTs/ disciplines that do not have as solid of a pacing guide. Or that person may only be one person, and they rely on others similar in the district.
Aspire to: Always ensure that the learning extends beyond content knowledge really focusing on other lens such as equity. ]]> 2020-05-22 13:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588939954 https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588940602 Assumptions- that teachers only teach one subject area and have adequate time to plan for that one subject area. 
Agree-  that "where are we going" is a great launching point for PLC's
Argue- The authors make this process look pretty and it's not. Aspire- I aspire to try and extend my regional ECS PLT groups to be with my middle school teacher and high school teachers.  ]]> 2020-05-22 13:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588940602 https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588942958 Assumptions - teachers value collaboration and collective
Agree - Analyzing the standards/curriculum are an essential part of teaching
Argue - the teacher doesn't matter...they are all good if the PLC+ is strong (I know it is a goal.. I hope it can be!)
Aspire - to assist teams in considering language learning intentions & social learning intentions AND that it doesn't matter who teacher is on a team. :)

Agree: That there should be a common agreed upon learning target(s) for students, but that teachers can make the instructional decisions best needed for their students.
Argue: Some PLTs now have an admin or IF facilitating their PLTs, which could be difficult for activators.
Aspire:To have PLTs using these questions when planning their units/quarters]]> 2020-05-22 13:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588951339 https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588956107 Assumptions - That function is based on credibility. That everyone is at the same level...
Agree - start with a purpose. Use your resources (standards). Be deliberate.
Argue- It isn't really as easy as it looks when written out in a couple of chapters.
Aspire - to start where they are, and continue with using the intentions in a deliberate way. ]]> 2020-05-22 13:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sbrown220/bayfya2w7tlz2we7/wish/588956107
