Sharing where we are up to with Lyn via Zoom

 

We were asked to present where we are up to at the moment - Updating the data wall.
We have moved to a larger room.
'Empowering' watermark added.
Sharratt quotes for inspiration and focus.
Summarising 2022 data on the data cards.
Placement of students based on present reality.
De-construction and colour coding of CrT progressions for deep understanding.
Adding student work samples to help teachers 'see' what the progressions look like.
Ensuring examples and elaborations align with the new version.
Drawing upon OECD and Education in 2030 disposition paper to explore the upper ends of the CrT progressions and what we want for our students.
Drawing upon Catholic World View to articulate our moral imperative as educators.

We shared with Lyn our experience with the Principals and Network leaders engaging in Learning Walks and Talks with our school. They affirmed in particular:
- How our K-2 teachers are finding ways to embed the work of the Learning Collaborative in the rollout of the new syllabus.
- The consistency of Learning Intentions and Success Criteria across the school.
- Evidence of BIU walls and goal setting in some classrooms.
- How the work has been extended into other KLA's such as Creative Arts.
We also explained our 2023 professional learning journey so far building upon 2022 and 2021.
Our road map before now looked like this:

Revising the Parameter 1 and 14

 Staff were asked to re-reflect on  Parameter 1 and the shared beliefs and understandings articulated by Lyn Sharrat. We had completed this same activity 12 months earlier and wanted to gain a sense of where we were placed collectively. Staff were asked to give a rating from 1 to 10 to indicate how much they believed in each of the statements and were encouraged to give a reason as to why they believed what they did. These ratings and reasons were collected anonymously. Then redistributed. Staff then stood behind the chairs, reading out the rating and reason they had been handed.  The photo below indicates where staff now sit with the statement: All leaders, teachers and students can articulate what they do and why they lead, teach and learn the way they do. The photos below are the staff's reaction to: High expectations and early and ongoing intervention are essential. The photos below are of staff's reaction to: All teachers can teach to high standards given time and the righ

Going deeper with Success Criteria

Image
  It took a whole staff meeting to go deeply with Learning Intentions. Our next meeting, some what two weeks later went into Success Criteria. The focus: How they need to be visible, understood, relevant and transparent. Lyn's video showed how we can demonstrate to students how to succeed - connecting it to prompts, resources, anchor charts and Bump It Up Walls. Staff sat in their PLTs (which included their TA) and divided their page into a Ta chart. Staff examined two work samples and analyzed what did the samples both have and what did the better sample have. Staff then shared this with another PLT and together they co-constructed what is the success criteria (standards - what students do to attain the Learning Intention). They were instructed to ensure their Success Criteria enabled all students to achieve at least one aspect of success. Success Criteria was then shared around the room through a gallery walk. Two PLTs at each Success Criteria T chart were asked to reflect on the
