Mean-What did Calkins' mean when she said (the say)

Matter-What does this mean for our work as an admin team at NPE

Determine Next Steps (where do our "so's" fit? ]]> 2019-01-28 13:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lemonsa1/o5v6jo8losyi/wish/324902875 lemonsa1 https://padlet.com/lemonsa1/o5v6jo8losyi/wish/324978024 Say- (pg. 62)-"In brief, it (lesson planning) involves getting to know the unit and the lesson so deeply that you are at home with it, thinking about small adaptions that allow you to teach it with voice and traction, planning ways to keep lesson brief and lively, studying student work, and preparing for small-group work and conferences. That's a lot!"

Mean-
at home with it-need to make it personal-yours-can't be done by someone else
small adaptions-changes year to year
3 focus-lesson brief, student work & small group/indiv. 

Matter-
How can we audit what is being done now surrounding lesson planning with UOS, and take teachers to the next level?

Matter - could we partner with Junior Beta?  Could we make a plan for evaluating libraries?

Mean: Developing a love of reading is one of the primary goals of RUOS.  It is important that this is modeled from the top down.
So: We should find ways to do this.  Book shares on morning announcements, what I'm reading outside our doors...

Say: P. 57 shares ways to systematically check in on the volume of writing that is occuring in our classrooms.
Mean: This is that trust, but verify element of leadership.  By asking teachers to bring samples of all of a student's writing over the course of a week, we can get a sense of how much writing, and the quality of the writing is taking place in our classrooms.  It could also be eye-opening for PLCs
So: I don't know if this is something we want/need to do this year, but it's an idea to consider.

P. 63 Ideas for bringing new teachers on board for UOS and for PLCs (Jigsaw)
P. 65 1st paragraph -Haga is a sucker for this!  Be careful!
P. 70 Powerpoints during mini-lessons (oh boy!)
P. 71 PD for New teachers and those who need help with mini-lessons.

RUOS requires a lot of prep on the part of the teachers. This prep looks different than "finding activities", but is still labor intensive.

"Folders don't contain prefabricated, teacher made graphic organizers of any kind."

Mean- Students should be mapping of jotting ideas instead

Matter--kids with executive functioning and some disabilities need some structure to help with the writing process. ]]> 2019-01-28 15:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lemonsa1/o5v6jo8losyi/wish/324978967 https://padlet.com/lemonsa1/o5v6jo8losyi/wish/324981186 Say- when you create a culture of of trust and support, you remind teachers that that it's not just the students who are constantly learning and striving toward improvement, but that you are all part of a community of learners. 
Mean- teachers are more receptive to coaching with classroom management when we say we are all learning (and mean it)
Matter- PAWS PD on behavior mgmt. having our TOTY show learning in these areas might increase buy in on changing management- how can we use Amie Dean to help us with this?]]> 2019-01-28 15:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lemonsa1/o5v6jo8losyi/wish/324981186 levinem1 https://padlet.com/lemonsa1/o5v6jo8losyi/wish/324981419 Say p. 62 "There is almost nothing that can make a minilesson worse than teaching it via powerpoint."

Mean--The lesson should be more like the read aloud--personal with the teacher talking to the kids.

Matter-- A lot of the teachers are using powerpoints. I think we need to rehearse or practice the mini lesson more so they are more comfortable with it.]]> 2019-01-28 15:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lemonsa1/o5v6jo8losyi/wish/324981419 levinem1 https://padlet.com/lemonsa1/o5v6jo8losyi/wish/324986021 Say ?
Mean--teachers concentrate on the mini lesson so much, but don't realize how important the rest of the workshop time is.

Matter--emphasize this to teachers so they practice and get more comfortable with the mini lesson, and share how important the other aspects of the workshop time are. ]]> 2019-01-28 15:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lemonsa1/o5v6jo8losyi/wish/324986021
