Student Centered Coaching with Chloe

Student-Centered Coaching introduces a new way of looking at and delivering school-based coaching that puts the needs of students’ front-and-center. By focusing coaching on specific goals for student learning, rather than on changing or fixing teachers , a coach can navigate directly towards a measurable impact and increased student achievement.

Seven Core Practices for Student-Centered Coaching

1. Setting student learning goals for coaching cycles
2. Creating learning targets for coaching cycles
3. Using student evidence to co-plan instruction
4. Organizing coaching through coaching cycles
5. Co-teaching with a focus on effective teaching practice
6. Measuring the impact of coaching on student and teacher learning
7. Partnering with the school leader

PLC- Making a Shift from teaching to Learning

Professional Learning Community

Making a shift from Teaching to Learning

Reflect on the shifts to where we are as a PLC!

Here is an excellent short read on making the shift.  
Making the shift from teaching to learning

Remember Dufour's 4 questions:

1. What is it we expect our students to learn?
2. How will we know when they have learned it?
3. How will we respond when some students do not learn?
4. How will we respond when some students already know it?

Our SMART/ Leadership Team wants you to reflect on Tuesday about assessments.

1. How will we know when they have learned it? (Assessment)
2. How will we respond when some students do not learn? (Corrective Teaching)
3. How will we respond when some students already know it? (Extension)

They want you to spend time to...

1. Gather baseline data to personalize instruction and show growth for ALL students. Form Guided Reading groups to meet their needs.

2. Reflect on these 2 questions:

What assessments would you like to dive deeper into this year?  

What does your teaching need to personalize instruction?

They will plan experiences to support you on using data to personalize instruction for students.

  

 

Reflect on the contributions you bring to our team!

"We may not have it all together, but together we have it all!"    

 

  

Here is the presentation for our district PD this week.

Professional Learning Communities

Professional Learning Communities

What?

A Professional Learning Community (PLC) is educators committed to working collaboratively in ongoing processes of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve. PLCs operate under the assumption that the key to improved learning for students is continuous, job-embedded learning for educators.

                         —adapted from Learning by Doing

PLC Overview

DuFour Article

Why?

“When a school is organized into a professional community:

1.   Teachers set higher expectations for student achievement,

2.   Students can count on the help of their teachers and peers in achieving ambitious learning goals,

3.   The quality of classroom pedagogy is considerably higher, and

4.   Achievement levels are significantly higher” (Louis & Marks, 1998).

How?

We meet to discuss 4 questions which are listed on the protocol.

1. What is it we expect our students to learn?
2. How will we know when they have learned it?
3. How will we respond when some students do not learn?
4. How will we respond when some students already know it?
