THE PRACTITIONER’S BEST FRIEND

Strategies for educators to facilitate the sharing of new learning

  • Teach the new learning to staff
  • Model the new learning in the classroom or at a staff meeting
  • Observe the new learning being implemented in the classroom
  • Collect evidence of either teacher learning and/or student learning
  • Complete a professional Learning plan prior to attendance so that time is focused, e.g. What GLE are you focusing on?
  • Focus on one new idea or learning at a time.
  • If attending with a team, coordinate attendance at breakout
    sessions.
  • Explicitly show the connection of the PD event to the school or district improvement plan.
  • Ask teachers (administrators, etc) to articulate how the new
    learning makes them better at their craft and/or how it will effect student learning.
  • Make use of Tony Wagner’s Four Steps:
    • Identify target
    • Identify how to infuse into system
    • Assess – Does it work?
    • Assess – What has to change? Needs to be tweaked?
