Sept 10 Humanities by Robin Durrante https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela What’s exciting about learning about teaching in this way? What makes you apprehensive about this PLC structure? en-us 2016-08-28 14:30:00 UTC 2016-09-10 15:15:51 UTC hello@padlet.com 2015 https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920914 I'm excited that we are going to be learning in a way that is structured, includes practice, and follows up with analysis.  I think that helps with accountability.
I am apprehensive about public practice since as a 2015 corps member, we didn't get a lot of chances to work in this way. My kids know how weird and goofy I can be in the classroom, but it's scarier to be authentic in front of other adults.]]> 2016-09-10 15:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920914 2015 https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920916 I'm excited about the PLC structure in that it offers promise of producing real results and that we can improve our teaching practices in this way.

I'm apprehensive because I'm afraid this PLC will go like many others in that real results won't happen]]> 2016-09-10 15:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920916 2016 https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920925 Collaborating and practicing with other teachers is exciting, but I worry about equalizing everyone's expectations for academic and honors students.]]> 2016-09-10 15:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920925 2016 lclark30 https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920927 I am super excited to be a member of a PLC at all because I don't currently have one at my school. I guess I am apprehensive about whether this will be a net time gain for me or loss.]]> 2016-09-10 15:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920927 2016 https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920931 It is great to practice and get feedback. There can be some social anxiety associated with it.

I am apprehensive about investing time in a system that doesn't stick. I'm concerned that we will start the PLCs, but not use the tool fully. ]]> 2016-09-10 15:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920936 2016 sayreolson https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920941 I'm excited to learn about teaching in this PLC setting because I am the only person teaching my content and grade level at my school. It will be so helpful for me to have a group to reflect and collaborate with!]]> 2016-09-10 15:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920941 201 https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920942 I'm excited to see if this model can produce real results. I am also apprehensive that we will be spending a lot of time on a model that doesn't work for all teaching styles.

I am apprehensive about what this will actually look and feel like. I want this to be authentic. ]]> 2016-09-10 15:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920966 2016 https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920967 I'm excited about having input from others that are in the same position as me. I'm apprehensive about the differences in our schools and districts that might make some strategies unavailable.]]> 2016-09-10 15:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920967 2015: Exciting - I have the opportunity to practice before I actually teach my lesson.        Apprehension - this practice does not allow for possible hiccups that may happen in the classroom.  https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920968 2016-09-10 15:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920968 2016 https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920969 I am excited to have input from my peers from other counties in order to share and work out new strategies for learning. I am apprehensive about implementing new methods in the classroom on my own.

I am apprehensive about how this will relate to my content area and if I will still meet with my content person. I am also apprehensive about public practice especially given the different perspective of the first year CMs. ]]> 2016-09-10 15:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920990 I'm excited about this PLC structure because I think that it will be more productive than what I experienced last year in both my school and TFA sessions. I firmly believe that collaborating with other teachers is the only way to improve instruction. https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122920991 I am apprehensive about the public practice aspect and having to do demonstrations in front of other teachers.

However, I think it is unrealistic to expect us to act as if we are in the classroom when we could get better feedback after an observation. I also think y'all should ask an instructional coach to come and do some observations as well so its not just 1st years, 2nd years, and staff..]]> 2016-09-10 15:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921010 2015turnup https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921011 I like the idea of primarily focusing on core skills that all teachers can use in the classroom while supplementing those skills with content-specific sharing of best practices ]]> 2016-09-10 15:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921011 I am excited to be able to be action oriented.

It ensures that you will not be alone in your educational journey.]]> 2016-09-10 15:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921033 2015 https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921042 I'm excited to meet new people and absorb new ideas. I'm excited to apply new instructional strategies to enhance learning experiences for our students.

I am fearful that we will stray from our norms (which I believe we need to better articulate and commit to), and allow PLC time to devolve into a group-therapy session. I am also fearful that we may enable each other's failure states, rather than talk through productive solutions. ]]> 2016-09-10 15:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921042 2015 I appreciate the recognition of the need for follow up with new material. However, I'm apprehensive about being forced to try new techniques with my students, as routine is key for their success in the classroom and I do not  want them to feel as though they are an experiment or Guinea pigs. Also, I do not like video in my classroom, as I feel that it rarely reflects reality. https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921047 2016-09-10 15:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921047 2015 CM https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921056 Because 2015 and 2016 CMs experienced PLCs during institute and residency so differently, I’m excited to learn about the public practice. I rarely have the opportunity to practice any strategies with other teachers in my school. I am apprehensive though because we learned so differently. ]]> 2016-09-10 15:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921056 https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921069 I'm excited about getting to shares ideas with other teachers in my content area ]]> 2016-09-10 15:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rdurrante/sept10ssela/wish/122921069
