PLC+ Chapter 5 (Fall 21 Cohort) by hostetter.edu https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y What did we learn today? en-us 2021-11-02 02:11:35 UTC 2026-01-28 20:51:36 UTC hello@padlet.com The ultimate goal is student growth and student progress. Student achievement is just a measure of student learning. - Barbara https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864607104 2021-11-03 13:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864607104 https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864607247 The Team Discussion on pg. 119 provides an excellent guide to planning common assessments and determining common challenge]]> 2021-11-03 13:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864607247 We use notice and wonder protocols a lot in EL lessons in ELA. I love the idea that teachers can notice and wonder as well. It's a really non-threatening way to open conversation https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864607393 2021-11-03 13:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864607393 connecting new learning - David N https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864608211 I am meeting with 2nd grade plt today to support them with developing CFAs. I plan to discuss the need for pre/post as well to determine the impact of their instruction. ]]> 2021-11-03 13:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864608211 analyzing multiple choice test results is more than right or wrong responses, it is why is the student thinking the way they are that they selected the incorrect response and how do we make a shift for this student https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864608975 2021-11-03 13:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864608975 Progress vs. Achievement labraham4 https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864610076 I learned about expanding my traditional way of thinking about data (got it/didn't get it) to focusing on those who are progressing or not progressing within those categories. This pushes teachers towards very specific instructional "next steps," which is the work of our PLCs! ]]> 2021-11-03 13:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864610076 I will utilize of the protocols with the PLC+ Playbook to intentionally grow teacher reflection and reflective practices in PLT's. - Barbara https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864610438 2021-11-03 13:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864610438 I think that student progress is more important than achievement. We have to celebrate and note progress to encourage learners toward achievement. When we only focus on achievement, a significant chunk of kids can't experience success. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864611014 2021-11-03 13:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864611014 The fishbowl to have teachers observe an effective teacher doing "expert noticing" https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864611269 2021-11-03 13:26:12 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864611269 Student growth is more reflective of the teaching and learning. Students may meet benchmarks but are they continuing to grow. How are ALL students growing? kwilson333 https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864611525 2021-11-03 13:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864611525 https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864611876 We cannot JUST look at achievement and not achievement, we must consider growth as well, whether they are proficient or not.]]> 2021-11-03 13:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864611876 https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864612107 Effect SIZE! I cannot wait to plug in the data. I feel like the effect size will truly show if our students are growing. It's another data point which can further drive the discussion...If what we are doing truly working? ]]> 2021-11-03 13:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864612107 Has your PLT identified a common challenge with learning and if so what is next? https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864612170 2021-11-03 13:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864612170 Students Achievement David N https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864612575 Students can achieve without progressing and they can progress without achieving. The true impact of student learning is to measure progress. ]]> 2021-11-03 13:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864612575 Student achievement is important, but we must ensure all students are making progress, as well. Often times, AIG students can show achievement, but no progress. We need to be mindful of ALL students. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864615392 2021-11-03 13:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864615392 Reflecting labraham4 https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864615403 I appreciate that this chapter and guiding Q invite PLCs into looking at evidence of learning and action steps based on what they see - we have to identify action steps for EACH learner, not just those who are struggling with content. I can imagine sharing that this work holds power and requires thoughtful time and preparation ahead of time.]]> 2021-11-03 13:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864615403 They are both very important pieces of data that can show us different aspects into our students. Achievement can give us a glimpse of how a student performs compared to others. And progress shows us how students perform over a period of time. Both different, but very important. The progress can lead to greater acheievement. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864615413 2021-11-03 13:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864615413 https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864615971 Some of my PLC's have begun looking at former pre and post assessments to see if they measure the needed outcomes. I want to continue this work and allow teachers space to reflect and adapt.]]> 2021-11-03 13:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864615971 I will work with PLCs at my school to implement some of these deeper protocols for analysis of assessment data. I will definitely use the playbook resources. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864616866 2021-11-03 13:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864616866 To make sure when we think about "what did we learn today", to not just focus on student learning. Think about what we learned as educators about our instructional practice. REFLECT. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864618310 2021-11-03 13:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864618310 supporting learning of every student is strongly connected to how we respond to data collected.

It would be a better representation about the progress that is being made. Grades don't always accurately show the progress.]]> 2021-11-03 13:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864623013 Give one, Get One would be a great way to reflect on practice and gain ideas from colleagues https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864624192 2021-11-03 13:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864624192 Jill https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864625713 There are so many great guiding questions in the workbook for "activators" to utilize when preparing for specific PLT discussions.  Knowing the right questions to ask is powerful.

I think if a student is progressing we are moving in the right direction. However, we have to insure that the progress is adequate and we are doing all we can to move them toward achievement. In most cases they will have to show more than a year of progress, if we want to close the gaps we so commonly see. With the right amount of progress achievement will come. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864633431 2021-11-03 13:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864633431 I think that my new knowledge will aim in working with PLTs and classroom walkthrough observations. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864635692 2021-11-03 13:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864635692 Noticing Note-Taking guide is a clear process to orient everyone in PLT to collect information which can be further discussed and used to guide actions. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864637183 2021-11-03 13:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864637183 That they is a term for what effective teachers do as they observe students and push their thinking, "expert noticing". https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864638841 2021-11-03 13:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864638841 I like Notice/Wonder, as well, as long as it is then tied to actionable outcomes. I also like the Team Discussion protocol on page 119. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864644290 2021-11-03 13:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864644290 I would like to bring the module 17 back from the playbook to my department. Their professional learning goal is centered around common assessments, so this would be a very useful module. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864653889 2021-11-03 13:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864653889 I think they are both important. However, I often dwell more on student progress than achievement because at the end of the day for me it is about students growing. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864658136 2021-11-03 13:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864658136 I am thinking of evaluating and selecting the most important modules in terms of being related to their professional learning goal from the Playbook to take back to my department and then monitoring this progress during PLT meetings. https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864694624 2021-11-03 13:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864694624 When looking at data, teams should be focused on learning about themselves and their students as a result of analyzing the work. The key is to ask yourselves, "what are we learning that we can use to make a difference?" https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864705349 2021-11-03 13:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hostetteredu/jp0nz9bi8ek9hg1y/wish/1864705349
