Instructional Leadership by Richard Metropolis https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz What is it? What does it look like? en-us 2016-06-07 16:20:08 UTC 2016-06-08 13:23:27 UTC hello@padlet.com paul_bavuso https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989399 ILT should be a place to discuss what teaching and learning looks like in the building. There should also be built-in time to discuss timely issues and solutions.]]> 2016-06-07 19:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989399 ILT is an opportunity for leaders of each department to share best teaching practices and make building-based decisions regarding instruction that we will report back to the teachers in our respective departments.  ILT meetings will help ensure consistency regarding teaching and learning throughout each department. https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989651 2016-06-07 19:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989651 ILT is a place for us to share what teaching and learning looks like in our departments with building initiatives and to share successes and failures. https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989735 2016-06-07 19:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989735 https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989738 Instructional Leadership should revolve as much as possible around discussing ideas and practices that will help teachers develop and improve in as many areas as possible.  At times that means focusing on best practices for teaching and learning and at other times it means being on top of the day-to-day operations of the building as much as possible.]]> 2016-06-07 19:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989738 https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989747 An ILT should be a place where we collaborate as leaders of the school.  This collaboration should have a product or result to be communicated to the rest of the school community.]]> 2016-06-07 19:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989747 Instructional Leadership includes research based practices and requires preparation for meaningful discussions. https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989767 2016-06-07 19:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989767 https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989821 ILT should allow open discussions about best practices.  We can only talk in generalities and not subject specific, which would be more beneficial for our teachers.]]> 2016-06-07 19:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989821 Action plans should be a product of meetings. https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989938 2016-06-07 19:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113989938 ILT needs to deal with the management of this building because we don't talk about it anywhere else. https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113990008 2016-06-07 19:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113990008 ILT should provide an opportunity to learn what is going on schoolwide in PLCs and district wide in curriculum initiatives. https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113990308 2016-06-07 19:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/113990308 Professional Development diana_kelly https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/114078680 ILT seems to be a good place to discuss professional development needs and feedback. We often talk about the need for content specific PD, what better place to see if there are cross-sections of faculty with the same needs?  ]]> 2016-06-08 13:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/114078680 Extensions of Learning diana_kelly https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/114079387 Many of the departments in our school do an excellent job to showcase curriculum and student work (e.g. Art - Fright Night, Curriculum Showcase), however it may be beneficial for all departments to celebrate student work in a similar manner. ]]> 2016-06-08 13:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/114079387 School Culture / Standards diana_kelly https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/114080313 There isn't a space for interdisciplinary discussion currently in the school (i.e. a Faculty lounge). While the Culinary room has offered space, it doesn't seem to be utilized. ILT is one of the few times where representatives from all departments are available to discuss issues of culture or standards in schools. Yesterday we talked about Turnitin, and really we need to start having more conversations regarding software and expectations that need to be met across the board. If we want students to be digital citizens and to display academic integrity, students should be held to the same standards and procedures regardless of which class they are in. The ILT could potentially develop PD around this so that there is some standardization. ]]> 2016-06-08 13:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_metropolis/rydoxbyb16kz/wish/114080313
