My Collaboration Padlet by Melissa Williams https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm en-us 2017-04-24 17:01:00 UTC 2026-01-04 23:01:30 UTC hello@padlet.com Q1 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168110523 While we only see each other once each marking period, we are great at developing new ideas and sharing the practices and strategies we are using in our classrooms. The time we spend together is definitely beneficially, and impacts how we move forward.]]> 2017-04-25 14:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168110523 Question 1My instructional practices change as a result of the time spent together at our PLC. Many good teaching strategies and instructional tools and projects are shared, which in turn, makes me look at our TEKS curriculum with a new perspective. More PLC time would be very helpful in the future! https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168110587 2017-04-25 14:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168110587 Q2 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168110639 The answer is yes and no. We have team members who do not engage in discussions. Answer: more inclusive discussions and methods of sharing the conversations]]> 2017-04-25 14:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168110639 Question 3 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168110762 No, the performance of the team does not improve when we meet together. We are off-topic and usually talk about the things the district should be doing differently, instead of comparing data and results.

It allows us to see what and how other teachers are teaching certain chapters as well as the projects that are being used to informally assess the students work. We share lessons and give feedback to each other ]]> 2017-04-25 14:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168110861 Q3 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168110942 At present, our team is working towards better horizontal alignment across our campuses. Currently, there is no unified scope & sequence for many of our courses. Once this is accomplished, we should see greater improvement form the time spent, as we will have a common pathway for our classes.]]> 2017-04-25 14:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168110942 Q3 lpippin1 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111034 I believe the performance of the team does improve as a result of the time we spend together. We share ideas and help each other improve lessons and projects for our students.]]> 2017-04-25 14:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111034 Question 3 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111130 I think our performance as a team improves from the extra time spent together collaborating and sharing ideas to strengthen the learning process.]]> 2017-04-25 14:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111130 Question 3 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111286 The performance of the team improves as a result of the time spent together because we are accountable to each other. We communicate regularly and draw ideas from each other.]]> 2017-04-25 14:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111286 Q1 -My instructional practices change as a result of spending time together not only in the pull out days but also with the online collaboration that we do. I am teaching very differently than I was 10 years ago and continually learn after collaborating with my colleagues. https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111314 2017-04-25 14:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111314 Q1 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111349 It truly depends with the group and the required materials to be covered. If the group can accomplish more work together once a month rather than once every grading period, I'll be down with that. In my opinion: The more face-to-face collaboration opportunities, the better.

Each instructor has their own interpretation of things, and it is good to see all the different outcomes.]]> 2017-04-25 14:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111461 I feel the instructional practices change as a result because the team members share ideas and what works and does work. The good ideas are taken back to the campus to be implemented or revised for that person classroom and students. https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111610 2017-04-25 14:08:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111610 Q1 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111652 Yes they tend to change since we share many strategies and ideas that work for each of us. It allows us to see what other teaching styles can achieve. ]]> 2017-04-25 14:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111652 Ques. 1 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111679 Potentially. At the very least it may lead educators to try strategies they may have never seen or thought about before and in turn lead them to rethink and reformulate their individual best practices while giving constructive feedback to the PLC on implementation/success in their particular classroom makeup.

We are meeting frequently enough, but are producing too little during that time. Bite off more than we can chew each time?

]]> 2017-04-25 14:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168111741 Q2. https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168112021 Yes. All members of out team work together and share ideas and materials for our classes

If you have a bad seed, the program (as a whole) would be tainted.]]> 2017-04-25 14:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168112373 Q3 yes performance improves because we learn each others strengths and weaknesses and it helps to determine where we each need to grow https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168112549 2017-04-25 14:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168112549 Q3 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168112637 Absolutely. The team is the heart and soul of a program. ]]> 2017-04-25 14:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168112637 q3 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168112697 Meeting is a good chance to align our curriculum... exchange methods for accomplishing goals.]]> 2017-04-25 14:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168112697 Q https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168112952 We meet to discuss our materials and processes to instruct the students and discuss student performance. ]]> 2017-04-25 14:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168112952 Ques. 2 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168113014 Mutual accountability requires some level of oversight and enforcement, both by the individuals in the group and whomever has authority over it. Such a concept is easy to talk about, but significantly more difficult to put into practice.]]> 2017-04-25 14:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168113014 Q1 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168113065 Given we are 3 teachers teaching 12 courses, there is very little overlap in teaching assignments, so our time together is spent more exchanging best practice ideas and information and less about collaborating on common course issues.]]> 2017-04-25 14:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/168113065 https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/185969530 MEMES]]> 2017-09-08 17:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilliams212/oj97mp8nfokm/wish/185969530
