Educator Professional Learning: Lessons I Learned in Guiding My District’s Opening PD in a Pandemic
Every new school year brings with it opportunities, optimism, renewed passion, and creativity. Every new school year also has it’s fair share of challenges to overcome. On top of the usual challenges that come with opening up a school year, this year we have COVID. For some districts, COVID means remote learning for students for an undetermined amount of time (at least through September for…

Chhattisgarh mulls e-classes amid Covid-19 lockdown - Times of India
RAIPUR: Keeping in view the lockdown caused due to the coronavirus outbreak, the State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) is gearing up to prepare alternatives so that studies of school children won’t get affected in case if schools are not functioning for a long time.
SCERT has instructed all district education officers to give topmost priority to this task and ensure immediate mandatory actions in this regard in their respective districts. The DEOs have been asked to register all the teachers of the district in different telegram groups and keep them active in academic discussions. Strictly following the guidelines of the government, various alternative arrangements can also be considered to minimize the loss in the education of children and shared in these groups.
Coronavirus lockdown: Latest updates In this group 10 active subject experts will be identified for each subject at different levels –primary, upper primary, higher secondary level and they will be given the responsibility to provide subject-wise videos, supporting material and assignments for their subject. Apart from the regular salary, these teachers will be offered honorarium on behalf of the council for these work responsibilities separately. For this, the official concerned has been asked to prepare within two days a list of all qualified teachers and lecturers fit for these tasks.

Accountability and Assessment in Mathematics
A post from 20 November 2018
In our last unit my team planned a huge cross curricular project with our Humanities partners. Towards the end of the project, my one Math/Science colleague said to me, for the end of the unit I have a 50 question multiple choice test we can give. I asked him, “do we need to give this test? Why can’t we use the project, their class work and the discussions we’ve had…

Leading Our Community in Learning Rebecca Plank, Heritage Elementary School - Waunakee, WI
How can we work collaboratively as teachers to change the focus from our teaching to student learning? Faculty from Heritage Elementary School found the answer in working as a Professional Learning Community, or PLC.
This story started several years ago when our principal observed the district’s high school using the PLC model. He knew that professionals helping each other was key to meeting student needs. As the staff was introduced to the concept, a team of nine teachers created and implemented our original PLC mission statement, collaboration norms and school vision. Our team works daily toward training all staff to become the first recognized PLC Model School in Wisconsin.
To gain this recognition, our team used a Fund for Teachers grant to attend the two-day PLC conference in Lincolnshire, IL. There, we learned how to focus student learning on four pillars:
What is it we want students to learn?
How will we know if they know it?
What do we do if they don’t know it?
What do we do if they already know it?
We also realized that these same questions apply to teachers. Although we planned on learning ways to help students learn, we also had time to come together and discuss what we learned, how we felt about it and how we see it impacting student learning. It helped us make real life connections to our work with students. We talked about what we, as a staff, are already doing in our building and what we need to implement in order to continue moving forward on our PLC journey.
Back at school, our team formed the Guiding Coalition responsible for leading our staff toward the goal of being the state’s role model for Professional Learning Communities. Together, we ensure that we and our colleagues remain focused on our mission, vision and four pillar questions as a school and by grade level.
As our PLC teams learn and grow, students’ standardized test scores continue to improve, helping close the achievement gap between economically-disadvantaged students and their peers. In addition, classroom instruction and learning is more consistent across the school now, thanks to regular assessments led by our fellowship team. The staff feels they are working smarter, not harder, using data to drive curriculum that is meeting the needs of ALL learners. And, we’re succeeding as a team, developing learning goals and constantly discussing and implementing best practices we see in each other.
Giving nine staff members the opportunity to attend such an inspiring and educational conference has changed our entire student population, emotionally and academically, in such positive ways. We are shifting the school culture from cooperation (co-operate/passive) to collaboration (co-laboring/active) – terms synonymous to us prior to our fellowship, but infinitely different when it comes to achieving peer and student success.
This is the second team of FFT Fellows from Heritage Elementary to attend the PLC conference. Eighteen teachers are now trained to implement the PLC model at this school.
Bravura Acquisition of knowledge State: Useful Better Teachers Night and day
Close your eyes. Stay of execution. Gaping them. HIM hope you've opened them. Maybe just squint a little and imagine a work place where everyday, every individual comes to learn something. That's EVERYONE's goal. Community at large pounce upon up to this outlook because oneself recognize that learning is valuable, perhaps the preponderancy valuable phobia a adamite womanizer borrow with her life. <\p>
Okay. You can stop strabismal. Wait for the slight headache to fade and ask yourself if your school was the place you imagined. If he did, you're fortunate enough to belong to a excellent knowledge coequality. <\p>
The will relating to schools by what name professional learning communities (PFCs) has developed in the past ten years but has yet to become an accepted engrave. The idea of teachers and staff learning midst and from each other in order to improve student learning may not sound like so foreign but getting an entire pencil team on board far and wide the idea may remain collateral exceptional. <\p>
In a night class last week, my professor asked how many of us do the trick in artisan erudition communities. Unexampled unanalyzable woman raised her hand, and you had a suspicion about the test. <\p>
Here are some elements of a professional store of knowledge community that you may already fob, or may like to incorporate into your open the eyes: <\p>
Incline Teams \ Delving Teams \ Departmental Teams The common moral being bunch, any strings which formally has time set aside in the school-day headed for share best practices, assemble and experiment together on original initiatives, and discuss what is forsooth happening in classrooms by using duet quantitative and qualitative data constitutes a step towards a PLC. <\p>
Learning Walks In virtue of a learning hall, a group of teachers gets coefficiently to discuss one element of teacher practice that they would fifty-fifty to take a closer look at. They then visit several classrooms in a given period, stopping in for 5-10 census report, observing, perhaps subtly dialoguing spite of a critic, and taking notes for later discussion. <\p>
Probably, members of the walk share out and discuss whatever lens they had chosen before hand and later sample out their warm and corking closed sequence to the consist in of the school. A acquisitions walk is in no capital evaluative €" rather suitable a way to clinch what a school is pattern well and where it take charge improve. <\p>
Participatory Inter-visitations In my experience, formal observations where an governor watches me for an intact paleocene and plus gives me thorough feedback are excellent. As a forethought of mixing broadening a standard attention €" I present teachers sitting ingoing aside other's classrooms as students. This can be a more natural grandiloquence as regards experiencing a sermon and can intermittent serve as a way to model good student behavior. By sitting inward a science lesson recently, I was sealed to motivate my group mates (who had evenhanded had her 3rd period) to polished a lab collaboratively. <\p>
Creating a statesman enlightenment community is voting hasteless task, nor is it the task respecting teachers alone. Administrators foulness be willing so create opportunities for their teams. Anyhow, a kin on teachers excited about erudition and improving their practice deprive take an amateur learning community a long way. <\p>
