THEORY OF ACTION
Aligning resources to develop highly effective
teachers and leaders and support key
initiatives will advance the goal of developing “C2Ready” students.
Objective for Innovative Professional
Development
Lake County Schools will design a process for
extended, high-quality collaboration and
professional learning for teachers and leaders to
implement standards-based instruction and improve the
quality of teaching and learning.

innovative Professional Development
Ensure all teachers have ample time within the school day for collaboration (without sacrificing quality student learning) focused on core instructional work
Once teachers have ample time focused on core instructional work, what do they do during that time?
What qualifies as collaborative time?

How do we use collaborative time to ensure standards-based planning
and instruction?

iPD Lesson Study Cycle
Read P. 1: The Cycle in Action and discuss how this cycle compares to the traditional lesson study cycle.
iPD Lesson Study Cycle
After reading the four stages on p. 2, what stage do feel most prepared for and explain why you feel this way. Support your discussion with evidence from the text.

Let’s Move… Grade Level, Content Area Small Groups
Assignments:• Create context for teaching
new content and skills and practicing learned ones
• Targets whole standard, or cluster of…
Planning to Teach Standards
Stage 2: We teach through the assignment. It is not an assessment.
• Prompt- sets up a charge to do something • Product- tangible evidence that demonstrates
progress in learning• Rubric- describes how well students need to
demonstrate progress• Instructional Plan- spells out step by step how the
assignment is taught
Assignments Are Made Up Of…
Stage 2: We teach through the assignment. It is not an assessment.
Assignments: Prompt, Product, Rubric
Design a detailed annotated time line that shows events and circumstances during the battle at Gettysburg leading to the Union’s defeat of the Confederate army.
Your timeline should include at least 10 time points; annotations must be accurate and relate one decisive event for each point on your time line.
Assignments: Sample Prompt
What is the proper role of the individual in response to disaster? After reading passages from the Dalai Lama, John Donne, Marcus Aurelius, and William Stafford on individual responsibility, write a letter to a younger student that addresses the question and supports your position with evidence from the texts.
Sample 6th grade Assignment, Literacy Design Collaborative
But how do we build towards the assignment?
A mini-task is a small, scorable task that targets a discrete skill(s) identified by teachers as necessary for building towards the whole standard or assignment. Through teaching the mini-task, students will acquire the ability to…
Prompt: Instructions to students regarding the product they will develop in the mini-task.
Product: Evidence students will produce to demonstrate competency with the targeted skill.
Pacing: An estimate of how long the mini-task will take to complete.
Scoring Guide: Criteria for what teachers should expect in the product.
Instructional Strategies: A description of what happens in the classroom.

Do we just plan random mini-tasks?

Skill(s)
Step 1: Identify standard and drill down further into the standard to isolate a specific skill you will teach

Designing a Mini-Task: Identify Standard
LAFS.68.RH.1.2 Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of the source distinct from prior knowledge or opinions.
LAFS.68.RST.1.2 Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; provide an accurate summary of the text distinct from prior knowledge or opinions.
LAFS.7.RI.Determine two or more central ideas in a text and analyze their development over the course of the text; provide an objective summary of the text.
18
Drill Down Into the Discrete Skill(s)
LAFS.68.RH.1.2 Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of the source distinct from prior knowledge or opinions.
• Ability to recognize difference between primary and secondary source
• Ability to accurately summarize a source• Ability to recognize the difference between summaries that
include personal opinions or prior knowledge from summaries that remain objective.
A skill always begins with “The ability
to”
The ability to think...The
ability to do…
19
Drill down to specific skill(s)
Ability to recognize the difference between summaries that include personal opinions or judgements from summaries that remain objective (distinct from prior knowledge or opinions)
Prompt: Instructions to students regarding the product they will develop in the mini-task.
Product: Evidence students will produce to demonstrate competency with the targeted skill.
Unpacking the Mighty Mini-Task
22
The Task:
Read the four summaries and in each summary, highlight phrases and/or sentences where the writer includes their own personal opinions or prior knowledge. If the writer does not include their own opinion or prior knowledge, write the word objective in the margin next to the summary.
Ability to recognize the difference between summaries that include personal opinions or judgements from summaries that remain objective (distinct from prior knowledge or opinions)
23
Set Criteria For Success
Read the four summaries. Within each summary, highlight phrases and/or sentences where the writer includes their own personal opinions or prior knowledge. If the writer does not include their own opinion or prior knowledge, write the word objective in the margin next to the summary.

An Example From TMS:
Tom Valenta, P.E. Department, Team Sports
25
An Example From TMS:
What standard? And why?
PE.7.C.2.3 Explain basic offensive and defensive strategies in modified games or activities and team sports.
What skills? The ability to…
• Ability to identify a sport • Ability to recognize the
difference between offense and defense
• Ability to understand the concept of a “strategy”
• Ability to explain a particular offensive or defensive strategy
26
An Example From TMS:
The ability to identify a sport
PE.7.C.2.3 Explain basic offensive and defensive strategies in modified games or activities and team sports.
27
The Task: Prompt/Product
Read through the list and circle each item that is a sport. Next the items you circle, briefly explain why you consider that a sport.
Ability to identify a sport• What makes something a sport?• What makes not it not a sport?
28
The Rubric: What Would “Meets Expectations” Look Like?
Meets Expectations:• Circles sports with at least 80% accuracy• Does not circle the non-sports• Brief explanations are relevant and tie in elements of what
makes something a sport
29
My Instructional PlanOpen with short hook activity, “What’s your favorite sport?” Teacher led whole group
discussion.
Introduce the task prompt to the class.
Teach how to handle a prompt through think aloud as I read and make sense of the prompt.
Read short article in which sport is defined.
Teacher uses four or five of the items on the list and leads philosophical chairs debate.
Plan and Write Your Mini-Task
1. Using the Scope and Sequence and Blueprints, collaboratively identify your standard(s)
2. Write out the standard on the top quarter of the chart paper
3. Underneath the standard, list a few key skills needed to master the standard ◦ [Bracket the key skill you are going to write a mini-task for]
4. On a second piece of chart paper, write out your mini-task. Underneath the task, show your criteria for success
5. If time allows, write out your instructional sequence.

Gallery Walk
With your team, visit posters and look for whether or not you see a clear connection between the skill and the prompt?
32
What connections can we make between the
planning and teaching of the mini-task to learning
goals and scales?
What is LDC?
35
Next Steps
• Strengthen Lesson Study Cycle within collaborative time • LDC
Based on students needs and interests.
Adjust instruction based on students’ responses as we work.
Observe and record successes and challenges.
Report findings to colleagues.
• Analyze data based
on criteria.
• Disaggregate the data from an individual and collaborative perspective.
• Score and review all student work together.
• Consider the effectiveness of the lesson design based on student data.
• Adjust instruction and prescribe assistance based on evidence provided in student work.
