Visible to public
Instead of random acts of improvement, this is
an aligned system – improvements efforts are integrated and results-oriented
Multi-year, whole-school transformation process
integrating and aligning systematic supports for teachers, students and leaders
Built on foundation of SIM/Campus Culture &
Climate, PLC Practices (smarter cycle), student voice, social/emotional
learning, behavior systems, feedback and accountability cycles, and data
analysis
What gets transformed? Structures for teacher collaboration, student
culture and systems for struggling reader support
Uses a campus instructional playbook (knight)
and a campus instructional model (SIM)
Communication is key – PLC goals related and
communicated to ALL stakeholders, including campus expectations
Walkthroughs that provide specific feedback to
ensure implementation and strengthening practice – dynamic PD/communication
Think/Pair/Share/respond to comments and question
time (hard to hear)
5 instructional strategies in a Frame format
listed
I really wish I could see the slide on
Randomization better at 49 minutes – it is too dark – this PD was provided by
instructional coaches during meetings and leadership committed to using randomization
at each subsequent PD/Faculty meeting
Overall – I think this had a lot
of potential but the video quality and sound were not good and it was hard to
watch. What I got out of this is that it
takes a directed/top down approach with all players involved being intentional
and motivated to make this process happen.
