Session+Four

= Practicing what we have learned  =

Use the house diagram reflective dialogue tool to have a conversation about a schoolwide development you are involved in.

Practice the process

Each take time to tell your story. = = =  = =  Reflection with a team  =

Same process of critical reflection one on one but with a lead team.

Assume a lead team have planned a schoolwide approach to professional development as we did in session one. [| pd Process HB.doc]

Now they are into iplementing the programme but monitoring of student achievement data shows that student progress is lower than expected.

** What have we done? **
(what programmes, meetings strategies etc and how much, ie how many classroom observations, how much data analysis)

** How good was it?   **
(what changes in practice, attitude have we identified ie 2 out of 10 teachers are using student achievement data to plan programmes that meet needs of students or 5 teachers have consistantly trialed ideas in their classroom indicating they are level 3 on Guskey's model of teacher learning)

** Is anyone better off as a result **
( is there any evidence that student outcomes have changed for the better) Can we show the data over time to identify if we are changing old trends [| Student data stanine 4 and above.doc]

** What theories for improvement have we got? **
What is the justification/evidence/research that tells us this theory is likely to work?

** What strategies will we use to go forward?   **
= Next year  =
