Collaboration between stakeholders...Studies have shown that the more input stakeholders have during the creation of reforms then the more likely they will have positive attitudes toward them afterwards (Ubel, 1998).

2. Data collection...In order for us to know what has already been tried and what has worked in the past, we should collect and utilize all data available.

3. Leadership and communication...All stakeholders should know what their responsibilities are and what the responsibilities of other stakeholders are. Communication should be open and frequent and leaders should be decisive and collaborative.]]> 2016-07-04 04:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/115881266 medeiroscomic https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/115881466 Ubel, Renita Kathleen Pohl.

They may learn better ways to manage time or control behavior in the classroom for example. They may also learn instructional strategies to use in the classroom that directly affect student learning. In this sense the professional development is the parent and instructional strategies just one of its children. ]]> 2016-07-19 02:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/116597064 medeiroscomic https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/116969461 I think the most important data for improving the school is the range and rate of student progress. We need to know where our students are academically when they arrive at our school and what the rate of progress is. We should use this data to improve the progress rate for subsequent years. Obviously, we want the rate to be 1 year per year or higher, but we need this data to get started.]]> 2016-07-26 02:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/116969461 https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/117320501 While I like data dashboards because of all the information they provide, I would prefer to use a carousel because it allows for teacher input and gives us a better buy-in than if we were just presented with data someone else complied for us.]]> 2016-08-01 21:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/117320501 medeiroscomic https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/117587044 I believe reducing anxiety and increasing confidence in math classes is the most fundamental approach to improving math performance.]]> 2016-08-05 03:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/117587044 https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/118155906  I learned that we must compromise when creating a SIP. I will not get everything I want so we must prioritize what we feel is most important so we win the fights we feel most strongly about.]]> 2016-08-12 19:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/118155906 https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/118859443 I believe the most important thing about creating an efficient well functioning SIP is to ensure that the goals are realistic and attainable. It can be easy to shoot for the moon, but we know we're not going to get there in one year. By making our goals attainable, we also have not put all our efforts into a plan that may fail so a course correction for the following year is not going to be a huge undertaking.]]> 2016-08-19 02:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/medeiroscomic/jbt2n0u5isti/wish/118859443
