Instructional Learning Cycle (ILC)
What is an ILC?
The Instructional Learning Cycle process is a defined structure that promotes collaboration and collective responsibility within a teacher team by setting up structures for short term cycles of improvement.
*This will be a requirement for Focus and Priority schools during the implementation phase.
Instructional Learning Cycle (ILC)
• Collaborative short term process of instructional improvement
• Reflect on the quality of classroom instruction
• Focus teacher teams on implementation of instructional strategies from the School Improvement Plan and linked to a school-wide instructional priority
• Within an ILC, teacher teams focus on a single instructional strategy related to standards
• Continuous ILCs signals purposeful and focused instructional improvements
• Provides teachers teams a process to monitor student achievement
Instructional Learning Cycle (ILC)
• Short cycles of improvement are meant to last 2-4 weeks
• Includes 3 collaborative meetings held by content area or grade level
• Each meeting provides an opportunity to– Reflect on the quality of instruction– Analyze implementation and impact
data
Instructional Learning Cycle (ILC)
Instructional Learning Cycles are linkable to…
• A school improvement plan:• An instructional priority; and• Content expectations or Common
Core Standards
• Common pre and post assessments (along with data analysis)
• Purposeful identification and implementation of research-based instructional strategy
• Collaborative instructional dialogue and reflection
Key features of ILCs
Instructional Learning Cycle
Instructional Learning Cycle is guided by the following questions
• What do we want students to know and be able to do?
• How will students demonstrate that they have acquired the essential knowledge and skills?
• How will we agree on the criteria that we will use in judging the quality of student work, and can we apply the criteria consistently?
• How will we intervene for students who struggle and enrich the learning for students who are proficient?
• How will we use the evidence of student learning to improve our individual and collective professional practice?
Theory of Action
If teacher teams engage in regular instructional dialogues around a data-informed instructional strategy, then the quality of classroom instruction will improve, and student learning will increase.
