March APF Meeting CLN 5 by CLN5 https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx 1. What impact did these learning walks have on your role as an APF? Share an example. 2. What would you like to see more of next year with learning walks and APFs? en-us 2018-11-19 20:41:11 UTC 2020-03-10 13:49:56 UTC hello@padlet.com It was very useful to practice centering feedback around the SMPs and MTPs. That gives me a framework...a launch...into any discussions that I have with teachers. It's also objective, measurable and it points to areas of growth. https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457581636 2020-03-10 13:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457581636 It was great to bring back to my teachers different strategies, routines etc, that were working during our walks. It was also nice to see other schools maybe struggling with similar things and having the ability to brainstorm solutions for that school specifically and bring those ideas back to us. https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457582793 2020-03-10 13:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457582793 https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457583264 Increased my understanding of eureka math content. Increased my ability to evaluate math instruction . I can at least now go into a classroom and have a better understanding of what is being taught and how it should be taught according to the math curriculum.]]> 2020-03-10 13:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457583264 https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457583792 It was nice to be able to go to another school to see what instruction looks like and to collaborate to give feedback. Oftentimes, I seen some similarities in challenges. Also, I was able to use what I learned to give feedback to the teachers that I coach at my school. ]]> 2020-03-10 13:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457583792 https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457583855 Learning about that MTPs were helpful and increased my understanding. ]]> 2020-03-10 13:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457583855 https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457584054 I am able to see what other teachers are doing in their classrooms. A great take away for my school.]]> 2020-03-10 13:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457584054 https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457584231 I gained insight on how other Math teachers were implementing curriculum in their classrooms. Typically, I am not able to watch other teachers teach and this was an opportunity where I could. I would like to be in smaller groups  as we did, in order to give more appropriate feedback. ]]> 2020-03-10 13:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457584231 Perhaps we could select a teacher from our first feedback session and re-visit him/her to see opportunities for growth or continued improvement. That way someone benefits from intensive coaching. https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457584327 2020-03-10 13:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457584327 Liked that there was a specific focus for each of the learning walks. Hoping the walks coincide more with the heart of the math lesson- at times we entered rooms during transition, etc https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457584958 Also I enjoyed seeing different grade levels- especially middle school (since we are an elementary) it was nice to see in action where our students will be going ]]> 2020-03-10 13:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457584958 https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457585667 Perhaps seeing the same grade levels in each of the schools to be able to compare the lesson structure of the classes.]]> 2020-03-10 13:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457585667 I would like to see more learning walks among network schools. https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457585883 2020-03-10 13:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457585883 https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457586420 Next year, I would like to see more smaller groups and each group observing either the beginning, middle, or end of a lesson. Then, coming together and providing the teacher with feedback. ]]> 2020-03-10 13:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457586420 https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457587084 The learning walks gave me opportunities to see mathematical instruction beyond my school's walls.
I was able to pick up best practices and innovative ideas to bring back to the teachers at my school.]]> 2020-03-10 13:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457587084 https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457589428 I would like to see the same grades during each walk to compare instruction at one grade band across the district.]]> 2020-03-10 13:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/BaltimoreCLN5/hkkb3aheacfx/wish/457589428
