GINSBERG:TRANSFORMATIVE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

Planning Ahead... Culture and motivation are inseparable influences

on learning Motivated teachers tend to have motivated

students Transformative learning: learning experiences that

can change beliefs and perspectives of educators Language choice not only represents how we think,

it influences how we think and act.

“The best thing about being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder in your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then-to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you.”

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Page 12: Edad 516 wsup

REFLECTIVE PROMPT:

Glickman (p.13) states,” Educators are the primary stewards of the democratic spirit. The total of our efforts is far greater than the particulars of our job.”

Ginsberg reminds us that motivated teachers have motivated learners and that the whole activity of education is ethical and political in nature (p.5). What type of society do we desire? What type of educational environment should

supervision promote in order to move us toward the society we desire?

Why are traditional schools the way they are? How does this differ from dynamic schools?

Fullan: Choosing the Wrong Drivers for Whole System Reform “The key to system-wide success is to situate the energy

of educators and students as the central driving force.” What are the right drivers, and why are they effective?

GINSBERG: The Motivational Framework for Culturally Responsive Teaching

Silently, think about a time in which you were learning and felt capable, creative, and joyful at the same time:

When did this occur? With whom, where, when, and under what conditions?

Share your experience with a partner:Focus on those conditions that led you to feel creative, capable, and joyful.

Share out and chart as a large group: What does this mean with respect to creating classrooms

or environments in which ALL students feel motivated to learn?

GINSBERG: The Motivational Framework for Culturally Responsive Teaching

In small groups: (Chapter 2) Establishing Inclusion: How do we create or affirm a learning

environment in which we feel respected by and connected to one another?

Developing a Positive Attitude: How do we create or affirm a favorable disposition toward learning through personal relevance and student volition?

Enhancing Meaning: How do we create engaging and challenging learning experiences that include student perspectives and support civic participation?

Engendering Competence: How do we create or affirm an understanding that students have effectively learned something they value and perceive as authentic to the real world?

Routines and rituals are present.Respectful learning and interactions occur.Students are comfortable.The teacher treats all students respectfully and fairly.Students’ lives and cultures are represented.

Classes are taught with students’ experiences, concerns, or interests in mind.Students make choices related to learning that include experiences, needs, values, and strengths.Students are able to voice their opinions.

There are clear criteria for success.Grading policies are fair to all.Performances and demonstrations have real-world connections.Assessment takes into account students’ perspective; there are multiple ways to reach standards.

Student participation is active; they are challenged.Questions go beyond facts and encourage different points of view.The teacher builds on what students know.The teacher respectfully encourages high-quality responses.

SUMMARY:

Drivers: leading with accountability is not the best way to get accountability, let alone whole system reform.

Intrinsic motivation, instructional improvement teamwork, and “allness” are crucial elements of whole system reform.

Motivation is foundational to learning; students who feel unsafe, unconnected, and disrespected are often unmotivated to learn.

A strengths-focused orientation to teaching and learning is foundational to student success within and across demographically diverse student groups.

CLOSURE:“This is the value of the teacher, who looks at a face and says there’s something behind that

and I want to reach that person, I want to influence that person, I want to encourage

that person, I want to enrich, I want to call out that person who is behind that face, behind

that color, behind that language, behind that tradition, behind that culture. I believe you can do it. I know what was done for me.”

While shadowing will not dismantle the complicated infrastructure of educational systems, it CAN illuminate problems of everyday practice that re within the spheres of influence of many educators.

Discussion: Why is it important for a supervisor (principal or program

administrator) to know about adult learning and development?

What are the most important things for you as a supervisor (principal or program administrator) to know about adult learning and development?

Page 37: Edad 516 wsup

TEACHERS AS ADULT LEARNERS:

Fullan:“Many decisions about the kinds of educational innovations introduced in school districts are biased, poorly thought out, and unconnected to the stated purposes of education.”

Glickman:“Many supervisors treat teachers as if they were all the same, rather than as individuals in various stages of adult growth.”

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 38: Edad 516 wsup

Mezirow (2000) and Brookfield (2009)...In order to learn and grow, teachers need to participate in a continuous cycle of collaborative activity and reflection on that activity and the need to develop the powers of critical thinking.

FINAL THOUGHT:

Glickman:“Teacher or adult development is not monolithic, linear, or eternal. The research on developmental stages provides lenses for viewing teachers individually and collectively as to their current levels of thinking and commitment. Through such lenses we can explore possible interventions to assist teachers individually and collectively to move to higher stages of development.”

“Although theory enhances the durability of professional learning, imagination guides its

implementation to connect the dots between students, curriculum, instruction, the school

environment—and a continuous sense of opportunity”

(Fullan, 1993; Liu 2004, in Ginsberg 2011)

This approach to adult learning allows teachers to examine and construct new learning and teaching methods rather than to simply implement prescribed ideas about “good instruction.

WRAP UP:

“…Whatever other factors that also suppress achievement-poverty, social isolation, poor

preparation-can be substantially overcome in a schooling atmosphere that reduces racial

and other vulnerabilities, not through unrelenting niceness or ferocious

regimentation, but by WISENESS, by seeing value and acting on it.”

GUIDELINES FOR OBSERVATIONS: Engage teachers in reflective thinking and discussion.

Discuss the protocol. Observation instruments should provide teachers

with information about their instruction and student learning. Collaborate with the teacher on tool or technique to be used.

Describe what occurred, interpret what it means. Separate the interpretation from the description

Describe behavior, be specific in description d Don’t interpret behavior

AND…avoid drawing conclusions based on one observation

A COMPLEX AND SOPHISTICATED ACT:

Leading for Instructional Improvement What is quality learning? What is meant by all students?

Quality learning for all is THE equity and social justice issue of our time

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 86: Edad 516 wsup

FOUNDATIONAL IDEAS:

If students are not learning, they are not being afforded powerful learning opportunities:

Teaching matters above all else Teaching practice varies greatly from classroom to

classroom Consistent, high-quality teaching practice is in short

supply

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 87: Edad 516 wsup

FOUNDATIONAL IDEAS:

Teaching is a highly complex and sophisticated endeavor:

From an array of content standards to implementation of CCSS

Tremendous diversity and variability in student learning need

Preparation and professional growth-At any given point in time, teachers are working to the limits of their subject matter knowledge and pedagogical skill.

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 88: Edad 516 wsup

FOUNDATIONAL IDEAS:

Practice only improves when it is open for public scrutiny:

Historic and inherently private endeavor Move to public practice Just-in-time feedback and coaching

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 89: Edad 516 wsup

FOUNDATIONAL IDEAS:

Improving practice requires reciprocal accountability:

Ultimately, it’s about leadership…Leadership matters! If we are going to hold teachers accountable, we have an

equal and commensurate responsibility to verify they know how to do what we are expecting them to do!

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 90: Edad 516 wsup

FOUNDATIONAL IDEAS:

Reciprocal accountability implies a particular kind of leadership:

If teachers are not providing powerful learning opportunities for all students, it IS a leadership issue

Guiding, supporting, and nurturing teachers… Remaining open to learning

The essence of “Coming Alongside” in Puyallup

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 91: Edad 516 wsup

FOUNDATIONAL IDEAS:

Leaders cannot lead what they don’t know: Leaders MUST know what good teaching looks like Common language/shared understanding

“The better we see, the better we are able to lead”

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

Page 94: Edad 516 wsup

EXPERTISE: MAKING THE CASE

Novice v. ExpertLeader with expertise can identify and discuss key elements with specificity and evidence; express wonder or questions; and offer alternatives to teaching decisions.

Novice leaders do not notice or think about key elements of the instruction; convey obvious misconceptions about or misuses of those key elements.

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 95: Edad 516 wsup

EXPERTISE: MAKING THE CASE

Novice v. ExpertNovices tend to make evaluative judgments more quickly based on superficial understanding.

Experts tend to withhold judgment until they can describe in evidentiary terms what they are noticing along with important questions that will guide further leadership actions.

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 96: Edad 516 wsup

FRAMEWORKS

Experience shows us there is wide variation of what constitutes quality instruction.

Without a shared understanding of what we mean by quality instruction, we have no basis form which to mount an improvement effort.

(Think TPEP)

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 97: Edad 516 wsup

The primary role of school and district leaders must be the cultivation of

EXPERTISE to improve practice, including both teaching and leadership

practice.

TYPES OF EXPERTISE

It takes expertise to make expertise…Learning expertise - continuing to refine skills and attitudes toward learningTeaching expertise – Complex and sophisticated leadership work…

Creating the conditions Nurturing the learner’s role Actually being good at teaching

Ailene M. Baxter, Ed. D. Director of Human Resources, Puyallup School District

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Page 99: Edad 516 wsup

TYPES OF EXPERTISE

In terms of leadership,Content expertise is the deep understanding of quality instruction, andPedagogical expertise is in knowing how to guide, support, nourish and nurture teachers in their own improvement effort.

BUILDING EXPERTISE:

In teams of 3: Presentation of “your classroom” Sharing of clinical observation Remember the phrase, ”As evidenced by…” Your reflections: What are you wondering about-

key questions, next steps, etc.?

What insight will you take into your next observation? How are you thinking of ways to support and propel teacher growth?

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

WHAT ABOUT WALKTHROUGHS?

Making teaching a public practice Develop a deepened and shared

understanding of that practice Use this emerging knowledge to implement

specific improvement efforts

RECIPROCAL ACCOUNTABILITY:

If we are going to hold teachers accountable for something, we have an equal and commensurate responsibility to ensure they know how to do what we expect them to do (Elmore; Resnick & Glennon).

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

Reflecting in action as well as reflecting on action, helping teachers engage in creative and well-informed ways to: Learn about students’ lives and interests Apply insights about students’ lives to instructional

practice Collaborate with peers in designing and critiquing

common lessons Continuously apply student learning data to the

improvement of instructional practice Involve students, families, and community in the process

EDAD 516 WSU-PuyallupFall, 2014

“This is the value of the teacher, who looks at a face and says there’s something behind that and I want to reach that person, I want to influence that person, I want to encourage that person, I want to enrich, I want to call out that person who is behind that face, behind that color, behind that language, behind that tradition, behind that culture. I believe you can do it. I know what was done for me.”
