The document provides information about an upcoming professional development meeting, including signals to transition discussions, how meeting documents will be distributed, and how to sign in to earn continuing education credits. Teachers are asked to collaboratively discuss and record their analysis of essential learning outcomes from a previous meeting using the provided template.
2. High Five Look for the “high five” as a signal to come back together—a signal to wrap up your final point during a discussion as a sign of transition. Meeting Documents The documents from the district PD meetings will be sent via a distribution list for your collaborative team. Once the documents are sent, you will have access to your collaborative team’s email distribution list. In Case of Emergencies Please silence cell phones during our work with one another. You are welcome to check messages during our breaks. Keep Certified Registration Be certain to sign-in so that you will earn CEUs. CEUs will be awarded after the February 20 session. Participants will be registered automatically on Keep Certified.

22. Created as an example from an Essential Learning Outcome developed on October 17. Essential Outcome Assessment Option 1 Assessment Option 2 Assessment Option 3 Assessment Option 4 Understand the principles related to weight lifting Have students start class by matching the muscle group handed to them to the corresponding definition found throughout the room. Create an exit slip that identifies a weight lifting machine and the student will have to provide the muscle group it focuses on. Students write a brief “safety” tutorial on how to use a weight-lifting machine properly, without being injured. Students identify what areas they would like to become “stronger” at and then identify the weight-lifting machines that correspond.
Notes de l'éditeur
5 minutes: After you greet your participants, share the routines and procedures that will be part of our district PD days. One routine involves bringing our group back together when we are engaged in collaborative learning. When we need to come back together, look for the “high five.” When you see it, know we will be coming back together—raise your hand. Another procedure is related to information that we share at our meetings. Participants will be sent to an email so that they can access all of the materials/documents from the district PD sessions. A third procedure deals with cell phones. Teaching and Learning will be registering participants on Keep Certified once all staff member assignments have been updated. Hours will be assigned after the February 20 session.
5-7 minutes After sharing the key objectives for the morning, have elbow partners talk about the prompts for a couple of minutes. Invite 3-4 people who didn’t share during the quote to share which of the objectives are going to be critical for their professional learning and which will impact their students’ learning. REINFORCE THE CONCEPT THAT OUR FOCUS ON QUESTIONS 1 AND 2 WILL BE SUSTAINED—BOTH IN OUR WORK DURING DISTRICT PD AND AT SITES WITH COLLABORATIVE TEAMS—IT’S A PROCESS…A COLLABORATIVE JOURNEY.
