5 quick steps to a strategic plan.. 1. Vision 2. Goals 3.What are the obstacles/barriers? 4. What are the resources you need? 5. How can we use existing resources/strategies to overcome any obstacles or barriers?

Big Picture You and LDC LDC is one way to meet: Your content standards (especially the new ones which focus on students reading deeply, writing to answer critical questions, speaking and listening and observing to create meaning) Your literacy standards in all content areas Your writing pieces for your schools writing program of review, your schools writing plan and CSIP regarding writing to learn, writing to understand and writing to demonstrate in every classroom learning College and Career readiness (CCR) expectations for all students Engaging and collaborative learning, demonstrates accomplished and exemplary indicators of TPGES how you are being held accountable as a teacher

LEADING & COACHING Presented by: Lisa King 2:15-2:55

BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS AT YOUR SCHOOL Coaching Teachers to Improve Instruction Lisa King

Session Objectives Understand how adults learn Reflect on the nature of change Define the Partnership Principles Explore ideas for getting teachers on board

Discuss your challenges.

Six Stages of Change Pre-contemplation Contemplation Preparation Activation Maintenance Termination

Pre-contemplation What? I dont see a problem Ignores or is not aware there is a need to change Blames others

Contemplation I should do something about this. Begin to consider why they might need to change Weigh losses and gains May decide they must change We often get stuck here!

Preparation In order to change I need to Make the plans for change Planning to take action Go to a workshop, bought a book

Action Just do It! Initiate the change in behavior for which they have been preparing Need a system of accountability Remove every barrier that the teacher might face

Maintenance Doing the change and it is becoming part of the routine, but you still have to think about it Dont overlook this teacher

Termination Part of your routine Automaticity

What stage of change are your teachers in?

Schools engage in self-destructive behavior AttemptAttackAbandon

As the number of changes multiplies, and as the time demands increase, people approach a dysfunction threshold, a point where they lose the capacity to implement changes. Darryl Conner, Managing at the Speed of Change

Getting Buy-In/ Enrollment Build a relationship with the teacher, listen to their goals and challenges they face Use active listening, share your stories Let them know how you can support them

Research to Practice Clarify: read, reread, take notes, talk Synthesize: be able to summarize what is most important about what you are teaching Break it down: Manageable Components See it though the teachers eyes (students eyes) Simplify: make the complex clear through stories, anecdotes, analogies, etc.

Think about something you have learned during the ELA Network this year that you will share with teachers. How can you break it down into manageable components? Simplify it for teachers?

Managing change Do I know what is expected of me? Do I have the materials and equipment I need? Is there someone at work who encourages my development?

Adult learners Problem Centered Results oriented Self Directed Often skeptical about new information Seek education that directly relates to their needs, timely and appropriate for their situation

Strategies for Teaching Adults Use them as resources, provide many opportunities for dialogue Clarify their expectations of the learning/session Give them some control over the pace Show how new learning can be applied to current situations, direct application Variety of teaching materials

Begin with the end in mind What do I want teachers to know or be able to do as a result of the session? What will start to look different in classrooms tomorrow?

Planning PD

How will I follow up after the session? Materials Observations and feedback Planning with teachers

Thinking about the strategy you want to share with your teachers What are some ideas you just heard that would help you get buy-in?

MAKING CONNECTIONS 2:55-3:15

Making Regional Connections Meet & Greet with regional groups Make connections with regional & grade level partners Brainstorm possibilities to continue our work Discuss needs How can CKEC continue to support you and your schools?

KDE UPDATES 3:15-3:25

CIITS A tool to help teachers match targets, standards and assessments. Meant to be a repository of nationally normed bank items and teacher created items. As with any tool, use your professional judgment when applying items to your classroom. More items being added this year, aligned to the new ELA and Math standards. Goal is to support teaching and learning by putting everything in one place -

Issues Report When you have questions or concerns- use this form to report issues. The only way the bank will be better is if we work to make it work for us in the classroom.

Teacher Created Materials 19 page booklet When you are ready to contribute to the resource for other teachers, in other words, lead by example. Follow directions in the booklet to submit instructional materials.

Resources for Teachers Instructional Materials Learn Zillion Thinkfinity Center on Instruction Ell. Stanford. Edu PARRC

Resources for leadership R-Group Space videos and step by step guide for module creation PD 360 in CIITS Student Achievement Partners - modules for CC implementation CCSSO- Placemats for text complexity, reading closely KDE COOPS- University Partners Look inside your building and seek out and use the knowledge you have in house and in district, in your community.
