Action Planning
Why: Professional Learning becomes most meaningful in the way we put it into practice. No theory, strategy, or program--no matter how great--will lead to student or teacher success if it sits on a shelf. Implementing meaningful professional learning includes identifying deliberate action steps; as well as anticipating and addressing obstacles along the way. We increase our likelihood for success when we engage in thorough planning and practice. We turn great ideas into durable change when we also measure our progress along the way.
Outcome: Teams will create a comprehensive plan to implement an instructional strategy in their classroom and explore how to share their practice with their colleagues, measure their implementation, and create an accountability plan.

Step 4: Preparation Identify discrete actions to take based on what you identified as your Objectives and Key Results for Questioning and Micro-Teaching.
