The focus can easily get sidetracked and as a leader it is important to know how to steer the direction of the meeting back on task. The ultimate focus needs to be on student achievement and what we can do to help students. The best way to do that is with data. Let the data do the talking.

PLCs can swing very quickly from fun yet unfocused to pessimist and hyper-
focused on the negative, and this slide deck helped me brainstorm several ways to help encourage teams to move more towards a middle ground.]]> 2021-05-02 21:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rnhanson2_1/x22vycmwz8p3hica/wish/1483169211 https://padlet.com/rnhanson2_1/x22vycmwz8p3hica/wish/1483778627 This would be beneficial to my team because it allows us to analyze all our learners and provide for rigorous learning for everyone.  We can easily identify as a grade level, who is struggling, who is understanding the material, and who needs enrichment. It then takes it one step further in providing a common lesson to support each groups needs.

While each group of students is different, keeping longitudinal data about each unit could help us see trends or patterns that are otherwise unapparent. It's a place to record all the great work we do during a data dialogue so that each time we teach the unit we can push farther rather than repeating the basic steps each time.]]> 2021-05-04 00:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rnhanson2_1/x22vycmwz8p3hica/wish/1487687011 jlrussellzia https://padlet.com/rnhanson2_1/x22vycmwz8p3hica/wish/1487692091 I'd really like to make time to go through a lot of these.

They really are COMMON when discussing data, especially when it comes to "they should have learned this last year." If this year is any indication, we cannot rely on what "should have been." It is just not a valid reason to explain a undesired performance. Rather we should think deeper, using those meditative questions to collaborate and vulnerably consider where our own instruction is faulting, how we could support these students as individuals (not just collectives) and how we can help each other remain focused on our goals rather than, what is essentially, complaining. ]]> 2021-05-04 12:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rnhanson2_1/x22vycmwz8p3hica/wish/1489384850 https://padlet.com/rnhanson2_1/x22vycmwz8p3hica/wish/1491379160 I love that there are so many different options.

This protocol relies on data from previous years to help plan a unit and where the emphasis of certain standards might need to be. This protocol touches on the importance of reflecting on teaching practices based on data. Ultimately, this protocol might help teams work smarter, not harder.

Definitely bookmark worthy. 

Jot Thoughts is perfect for my team-guides thinking about how we are teaching and where gaps in both teaching and learning might be. At the same time, it isn't too wordy. A visually overwhelming page tends to cause some of my teammates to become resistant as it looks like something for which they won't have time.

Specifically addressing the pessimism issue, I think focusing on internal best practice (so those that had higher achievement as supported by the data) would be a great start.

I think the latter concern about "feeling defeated no matter what" is possibly outside the scope of this and more an issue of applying a growth mindset. Instead of focusing on an ideal, improvement from baseline needs to be highlighted.]]> 2021-05-05 14:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rnhanson2_1/x22vycmwz8p3hica/wish/1494117760 https://padlet.com/rnhanson2_1/x22vycmwz8p3hica/wish/1494118948 Team created interventions and remediation only benefit all parties when done with data.

The two that stood out the most to me were the pessimism and prematurely suggesting solutions. Especially after this year and the way our profession has been attacked, it is so easy to feel helpless and pessimistic. We are working harder than ever for less while getting called lazy and told we don't care about kids. As for prematurely suggesting solutions, our time is so limited it is hard not to.

However, we have not created any common exit tickets for particular units/chapters/topics, etc. At our next meeting I would like to propose that we create a simple exit ticket where we can all see the results (maybe a Google form) then use the FCPS Google Doc called "Exit Ticket Data Dialogue Protocol" to see if our students are at Emerging, Developing, or Proficient levels of knowledge.
