Goal and Scale

3 I understand the new DP and can work with my PLC to answer any questions.
2 I understand the new DP, and I have a few questions.
1 I know theres a new DP, but I have a lot of questions still.
0 Theres a new DP?

Info

• Video
• 30 minute video going over teacher eval
  modifications and new-new DP.
• Must be shown, by contract.
• 45 minutes.
• Any questions you cant answer send them to ME!
  ? I will compile an FAQ.
• Brand new teacher training
• Year 1 and/or new to BDS (NOT category 1 and 2
  teachers)
• Within first 10 days of schools, you must go over
  the evaluation more in depth with them. I will
  provide a PPT for you to use with them I do not
  have this PPT at this time. ?

Deliberate Practice and PLCs

Primary PLC

• Step One
• ALL (Teacher, school based admins, district based
  admins)
• Identify a Primary PLC

9
Primary PLC

• Because 33 of all evaluations continue to be
  student growth/achievement of students at the
  assigned school, then everyone has a vested
  interest in the students at his/her assigned
  school.

Ideas

• Common standards/common assessments
• Content area, K-8
• Alg I (multi-prep consideration)
• Common problem/solution
• PLUS2 data ideas
• Higher Order Thinking Tasks and Questions
• Content Area Framework
• Common Problem
• Socialization/communication
• Lowest 25 (mentors)
• Graduation concerns (mentors)
• PBS Implementation (attendance/behavior)

12
Key Words

• Meaningful
• Collaborative
• Impact student growth/achievement

13
Primary PLC

• Also to consider, common problem teams must still
  engage in a recursive cycle. If they solve the
  problem by November, then they re-engage in
  either an extension of the problem or a new
  problem perhaps considering a problem of a
  different nature.

16
Primary PLC

• Common problem teams still answer the 4 main
  questions
• How will we know if our students are being
  successful?
• How will we know they have learned it (whatever
  it is)? What will mastery of it look like?
• What strategies will we use to ensure the success
  of all students?
• What will we do for those who DO NOT achieve
  mastery? What will we do for those that DO?

17
Goals, Gains and Barriers

• Step Two
• Establish Anticipated Goals, Gains and Barriers

18
Goals, Gains and Barriers

• Teams will have already begun PLC work.
• But..why wait until September 23rd?
• If a team starts before then, they should start
  this decision making too!
• Note There is no set number for how many goals,
  gains or barriers. The identification of the
  goals, gains and barriers are to help teams
  establish the work that must be done next in the
  Action Steps.

19
Goals

• Must be numeric
• NO MAP
• May or may not be assessment data
• May vary based on teams PLC journey.
• Have a 10 total class average increase of the
  combined three rubric components (purpose, focus,
  organization, elaboration and conventions) as
  measured by Bay Writes.
• Complete no less than 6 common assessments (with
  the corresponding recursive PLC process to
  include data analysis review and adjustment to
  instruction). (This goal most appropriate for
  beginning PLC teams).
• Rate ourselves at a 3 on the Learning Goal and
  Scale for PLC Implementation current rating is
  at a 1.

20
Gains

• What do we want to learn?
• Gains may vary based on WHERE the team is on
  their continuum of PLC implementation.
• Gains help understand professional development
  needed.
• (We may want to learn about inclusion for ESE
  students, but may need PD in how to make this
  happen.)

21
Gains

• We hope to gain improved understanding of the
  gradual release model in order to arrive at a
  student centered classroom.
• We hope to gain a fully implemented inclusion
  model in order to differentiate appropriately for
  all our students.
• We hope to gain more engaged students so that our
  student discipline issues decrease as student
  engagement increases.
• We hope to collaboratively problem solve and find
  strategies for differentiating our instruction.
• We hope that by working together as a team we
  will lessen our stress levels! No more IPDP
  individuality! YAY! ?

22
Barriers

• Acknowledgement of barriers helps us to move
  forward.
• Administrator uses to determine resources.
• Team uses to determine professional development
  needed.
• Remember from our improv, think yesand and not
  No.because.

23
Barriers

• Time will be a barrier. In order to overcome
  this barrier, we have established and pledge to
  follow our norms which will encourage us to stay
  on topic, allow all to have a voice- but not
  allow one voice to dominate. We will have roles
  and responsibilities that will help ensure we
  stay on track (norm person, timekeeper, etc.)
  We also agree to abide by due dates and areas of
  responsibility in order to ensure we come to
  meetings prepared and ready to work.
• We arent really sure how to differentiate
  instruction for our students. We plan on
  engaging in job embedded professional development
  with our schools coach in order to increase our
  knowledge of how to do differentiate instruction.
  We need to get with our coach as soon as possible
  to have her help us with our plan to increase our
  knowledge in this area through job embedded PD.

24
Action Steps

• Step Three
• Create Action Steps

25
Action Steps

• Please consider that when you have dissimilar
  teams of singletons, they all need to be sure to
  meet at a time conducive to all members.
• For example, teams need to be mindful of the SLP
  at the school. They do not have planning periods
  during the school day, so teams need to be sure
  that they consider this.

26
Action Steps

• Not carved in stone!
• Monitored and adjusted as necessary.
• Mindful of due dates
• Processes and procedures may not have due dates

27
Engage!

• Step Four Engage in the PLC work

28
Reflect

• Step Five Complete Reflections

U NI E HE
Demonstrates no significant effort to work on the goals/gains/barriers/ action steps. Demonstrates an indifference/ resistance to data, PLC/DP process. No verifiable change in practice compared to previous year. Inconsistencies exist in fulfilling Action Steps. Limited evidence of an effort to work on the goals/gains/barriers/ action steps. Participation in PLC/DP process may be limited or inappropriate- resistant to step forward as leader or back as team member as appropriate. Made a limited change to practice. Individual fulfills personal responsibility in Action Steps due dates. Individual contributes to discussions, led if facilitator role was assigned. Met outside the PLC presented information to PLC. Made a change to personal practice, but may or may not be sustained. Individual fulfills personal responsibility in Action Steps by due dates. Individual participates in discussions, problem solving with team members, contributing ideas, stepping in as a facilitator/leader or back as a team member regularly and as appropriate. Individual regularly collaborates outside the PLC and brings back suggestions/ideas which also serve to strengthen the PLCs work. Has made a relevant change to personal practice with verifiable impact and/or has sustained implementation of the change.
31
YOUR DP

• Admin teams should work together as a PLC.
• The admin team may choose to bring in other
  personnel like guidance counselors, coaches,
  resource teachers, etc. Just remember you want
  this to be their primary PLC. Dont just make
  the leadership team your primary PLC those
  people already have another primary PLC. ?

32
YOUR DP

• An admin team may choose as their common
  problem PLC Implementation.
• Have teacher PLCs use the Learning Goal and Scale
  to determine where they feel they are, then the
  admin team do the same thing. Take that data to
  establish a goal for the admin PLC team.
• How will we know if our teachers are being
  successful?
• How will we know they have learned it? What will
  mastery look like?
• What strategies will we use to ensure the success
  of all teachers?
• What will we do for those who DO NOT achieve
  mastery? What will we do for those that DO?

33
Along those lines

• Action Step Ideas
• Admin PLC reviews teacher PLC goals, gains,
  barriers and action steps.
• As a team, decides about feedback and if the DP
  is ready for implementation.
• Admin in charge relays information.
• During PLC meetings, share progress of PLC teams
  towards meeting the goal, action step
  outcomes/adjustments needed, concerns, questions,
  etc.
