• Lesson Adjustment• Response to students• Persistence
Teaching Channel- 3 part series
TPGES Domains overview:• 1 e – Designing Coherent Instruction
• Learning activities• Instructional Materials and Resources• Instructional Groups• Lesson and Unit Structures
• Think about LDC, the instructional skills ladder, the mini tasks that connect directly to the standards.
• In your Strategic Plan today, think about what resources both time, materials and support you need to accomplish this work.
• During the last three years, you have been introduced to new and different ways of presenting instruction how can you bring that to your classroom and share it with colleagues?
3 d -Using Assessment in Instruction• Assessment Criteria• Monitoring of Student Learning• Feedback to Students• Student Self Assessment and Monitoring of Progress
• Think about how LDC helps to accomplish these indicators
• Remember your work around CASL
Vocabulary Jigsaw• This activity could be used as a unit opener, formative
assessment mid-point or as a review activity after reading.• Any text will work- at any grade level, any content area• For ELL or very young students struggling with
vocabulary, this activity reviews word structure (first and last letters), syllabication and word definition.
• Groups of 4– each person gets a different card (A,B,C,D) • Use copies of 3d on table- briefly review document• Each person make a clue sheet numbered 1-12• Follow directions for the activity #2-5• I will do the big reveal of the answers at 9:30am
Answer Key
• 1. elicits• 2. diagnose• 3. integral• 4. assessment• 5. ascertaining• 6. critical attributes• 7. sporadically• 8. engage• 9. monitoring• 10. feedback• 11. accurate• 12. substantive

Strategic Planning
"If you don't know where you are going, you are certain to end up somewhere else."
- Yogi Berra
I know you feel like this
Let LDC act as a GPS to get you to where you want to be
5 quick steps to a strategic plan…..
1. Vision2. Goals3.What are the obstacles/barriers?4. What are the resources you need? 5. How can we use existing resources/strategies to overcome any obstacles or barriers?
Big Picture – You and LDC• LDC is one way to meet:
• Your content standards (especially the new ones which focus on students reading deeply, writing to answer critical questions, speaking and listening and observing to create meaning)
• Your literacy standards in all content areas• Your writing pieces for your schools writing program of
review, your school’s writing plan and CSIP regarding writing to learn, writing to understand and writing to demonstrate in every classroom learning
• College and Career readiness (CCR) expectations for all students
• Engaging and collaborative learning, demonstrates accomplished and exemplary indicators of TPGES – how you are being held accountable as a teacher

LEADING & COACHING Presented by:Lisa King2:15-2:55
BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS AT YOUR SCHOOLCoaching Teachers to Improve InstructionLisa King
Session Objectives
•Understand how adults learn•Reflect on the nature of change•Define the Partnership Principles•Explore ideas for getting teachers on board
Discuss your challenges.
Six Stages of Change
•Pre-contemplation•Contemplation•Preparation•Activation•Maintenance•Termination
Pre-contemplation“What? I don’t see a problem”
•Ignores or is not aware there is a need to change
•Blames others
Contemplation“I should do something about this.”
•Begin to consider why they might need to change
•Weigh losses and gains•May decide they must change•We often get stuck here!
Preparation“In order to change I need to…”
•Make the plans for change
•Planning to take action
•Go to a workshop, bought a book
Action“Just do It!”
•Initiate the change in behavior for which they have been preparing
•Need a system of accountability
•Remove every barrier that the teacher might face
Maintenance
•Doing the change and it is becoming part of the routine, but you still have to think about it
•Don’t overlook this teacher
Termination
•Part of your routine
•Automaticity
What stage of change are your teachers in?
Schools engage in self-destructive behavior
Attempt
AttackAbandon
“As the number of changes multiplies, and as the time demands increase, people approach a dysfunction threshold, a point where they lose the capacity to implement changes.”
Darryl Conner, Managing at the Speed of Change
Getting Buy-In/ Enrollment
•Build a relationship with the teacher, listen to their goals and challenges they face
•Use active listening, share your stories
•Let them know how you can support them
Research to Practice• Clarify: read, reread, take notes, talk• Synthesize: be able to summarize what is most important about what you are teaching
• Break it down: Manageable Components• See it though the teachers’ eyes (students’ eyes)
• Simplify: make the complex clear through stories, anecdotes, analogies, etc.
Think about something you have learned during the ELA Network this year that you will share with teachers.
How can you break it down into manageable components?Simplify it for teachers?
Managing change
•Do I know what is expected of me?
•Do I have the materials and equipment I need?
•Is there someone at work who encourages my development?
Adult learners• Problem Centered• Results oriented• Self Directed• Often skeptical about new information• Seek education that directly relates to their needs, timely and appropriate for their situation
Strategies for Teaching Adults• Use them as resources, provide many opportunities for dialogue
• Clarify their expectations of the learning/session
• Give them some control over the pace• Show how new learning can be applied to current situations, direct application
• Variety of teaching materials
“Begin with the end in mind”
•What do I want teachers to know or be able to do as a result of the session?
•What will start to look different in classrooms tomorrow?
Planning PD
How will I follow up after the session?
•Materials
•Observations and feedback
•Planning with teachers
Thinking about the strategy you want to share with your teachers…
What are some ideas you just heard that would help you get buy-in?
MAKING CONNECTIONS2:55-3:15
Making Regional Connections
•Meet & Greet with regional groups•Make connections with regional & grade level partners
•Brainstorm possibilities to continue our work
•Discuss needs•How can CKEC continue to support you and your schools?
KDE UPDATES3:15-3:25
CIITS• A tool to help teachers match targets, standards and
assessments.• Meant to be a repository of nationally normed bank items
and teacher created items.• As with any tool, use your professional judgment when
applying items to your classroom.• More items being added this year, aligned to the new ELA
and Math standards.
Goal is to support teaching and learning by putting everything in one place -
Issues Report
When you have questions or concerns- use this form to report issues.The only way the bank will be better is if we work to make it work for us in the classroom.
Teacher Created Materials –19 page booklet
When you are ready to contribute to the resource for other teachers, in other words, lead by example.
Follow directions in the booklet to submit instructional materials.
