We did not record the breakout groups
Summary of themes from our discussions focused on resources.
Optimistic Closure responses:
Share in the chat a focus or intention that you have around the instructional framework for December:
Gather artifacts at my school
I need to start gathering artifacts
Continue to develop GLSA curriculum for DLI
Searching for scaffolds that support all students in accessing grade-level content in our building
Continue to collaborate with our administrators and TOSAs to deepen our understanding around GLSA so we can effectively support teachers.
Continue talking with other educators about what helps them feel successful.
Sharing with my colleagues that the IFW is the Tier I Instructional we can ACHIEVE at the high school level across all subjects and grade levels.
Support my team with gathering artifacts - videos and appreciate the dialogue around the key elements to include in videos.
Keep an eye out for artifacts and talking to teachers
Peer observations provide a low risk means of teachers see examples of excellent instruction linked to the IF.
Support my department to feel good about what they are doing and increase their expectations for their students
Cast a wider net with colleagues both in and outside of my building to collect artifacts
Reflect on what I’m doing that I might capture to share.
Watching for and trying to find ways to share the bright spots emerging in our classrooms and schools.
Keep an eye out for artifacts and teachers willing to share and talk about the work.
Keep students engage in grade level and standard aligned tasks to maintain structures and routines despite the different anxieties December may bring.
At my school we have been focused on 1.3 and are going to work on going deep into instructional routines for constructive student conversations as a scaffold for reading and writing about grade level texts
For me it's around access and scaffolding and helping shift teachers' mindsets that students are capable with appropriate scaffolding.
