Book Synopsis Protocols for Professional Learning Conversations by : Catherine Glaude

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By offering guidelines for safely challenging assumptions, building common language, and giving and receiving feedback on educational practices, protocols play a vital role in helping educators have professional learning conversations that lead to improved student learning. In Protocols for Professional Learning Conversations, author Catherine Glaude provides a variety of protocols designed to create a culture that encourages productive conversations between and among teachers and administrators. Twenty-eight sample protocols guide educators through a variety of situations. These protocols navigate conversations in a way that ensures all parties play an active part in improving student achievement, teacher effectiveness, and assessment methods. The protocols are designed to: Provide ample time for reflection Promote deep listening Allow participants to learn from others' challenges and successes Help participants to gather feedback to improve teacher practices and student learning Improve and focus action research Help participants analyze the effectiveness of assessments Glaude acknowledges the sensitive nature of these conversations and outlines sample ground rules for conducting learning conversations, providing feedback, and receiving feedback. She also provides guidelines that enable participants to customize ground rules to address the organization's individual challenges. The protocols presented in this book progressively build comfort and a climate that welcomes constructive, collaborative conversations among participants by first looking at a common reading assignment and gradually building to more advanced conversations that focus on improving individual practice as participants become more comfortable with this collaborative process. Guidelines for creating and adapting your own advanced protocols are also provided.

Download or read book PLC+ written by Douglas Fisher and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a powerful and results-driven Professional Learning Community (PLC)? The answer is collaborative work that expands the emphasis on student learning and leverages individual teacher efficacy into collective teacher efficacy. PLC+: Better Decisions and Greater Impact by Design calls for strong and effective PLCs plus—and that plus is YOU. Until now, the PLC movement has been focused almost exclusively on students and what they were or were not learning. But keeping student learning at the forefront requires that we also recognize the vital role that you play in the equation of teaching and learning. This means that PLCs must take on two additional challenges: maximizing your individual expertise, while harnessing the power of the collaborative expertise you can develop with your peers. PLC+ is grounded in four cross-cutting themes—a focus on equity of access and opportunity, high expectations for all students, a commitment to building individual self-efficacy and the collective efficacy of the professional learning community and effective team activation and facilitation to move from discussion to action. The PLC+ framework supports educators in considering five essential questions as they work together to improve student learning: Where are we going? Where are we now? How do we move learning forward? What did we learn today? Who benefited and who did not benefit? The PLC+ framework leads educators to question practices as well as outcomes. It broadens the focus on student learning to encompass educational equity and teaching efficacy, and, in doing so, it leads educators to plan and implement learning communities that maximize individual expertise while harnessing the power of collaborative efficacy.
Book Synopsis Protocols in the Classroom by : David Allen
Download or read book Protocols in the Classroom written by David Allen and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Spinning off from The Power of Protocols, David Allen, Alan Dichter, Tina Blythe, and Terra Lynch seek to bring discussion protocols to the classroom for teachers to use with their high school students. Protocols in the Classroom will use the same dependable ideas that the authors developed during more than two decades of work for multiple editions of The Power of Protocols, which has provided an invaluable resource to teachers, administrators, and teacher educators to support their professional learning and development. The authors' proposed book extends beyond professional development for educators by bringing discussion protocols into the classroom while using vignettes and facilitation tips to further explain how educators can use protocols with students effectively. Protocols in the Classroom will feature descriptions of protocols that are familiar from the earlier books (e.g., the Last Word, the Tuning Protocols, the Consultancy) and new ones. Like the earlier books, it also includes guidelines for teachers in using the protocols effectively, as well as discussion of important considerations in using protocols with students, including the role of the teacher and students' preparation for participating in discussion protocols" --

Book Synopsis The Knowledge Gap by : Natalie Wexler
Download or read book The Knowledge Gap written by Natalie Wexler and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.

Book Synopsis The Practice of Authentic PLCs by : Daniel R. Venables
Download or read book The Practice of Authentic PLCs written by Daniel R. Venables and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book for school leaders details how to implement authentic PLCs in schools and districts. Its aim is not to sell the work of PLCs, but rather to assist school leaders and teachers in developing the knowledge and tools necessary to do the work of building and sustaining real PLCs. Grounded in Venables' foundational training and work with the Coalition for Essential Schools, this book unites collaboration, facilitation, data inquiry, using protocols for student and teacher work, designing comprehensive formative assessments (CFAs) and planning data-based instructional intervention into one cohesive handbook. In a step-by-step manner, this book lays out how to establish and do the work of PLCs right the first time. And for schools already dabbling with teacher collaboration and who have instituted a version of PLCs-lite, this work can help existing groups go deeper in the doing the work of authentic, effective PLCs.
