Professional Learning 2011-2012
Mission StatementWe engage, challenge, and inspire
children to reach their potential and develop their own voices within an inclusive, diverse, and collaborative community that values distinct contributions and abilities. We prepare teachers to implement our vision, mission, and values, and we share our educational approach with the larger community.
Our Guiding Questions
How are we meeting each child’s needs?
How do we measure what children already know as well as what they can do within a lesson, unit, school year?
Goals for TodayBegin to answer our guiding questions by getting
smarter about assessment and “data”
Name what we already do and how it supports student learning
Expand our collective knowledge about assessment and the use of data to “inform” instruction
Clarify the 2011-2012 School Wide Professional Learning Objectives
Review the “new” lesson plan format and Observation Cycle
Writer’s Notebooks We write to understand
ourselves. Writing is thinking.
We discover how much we know rather than how little we know by writing.
Our voice on the page reveals what we think and how we feel.
In your writer’s notebook
Think about a time when you learned something new…
What kind of support helped you understand?
How did you know you “got it”?
How are we meeting each child’s needs?
When you learn something new…
Support that helped you get there…
Getting to “got it”…
