Spark Con"ersations

&eachers and administrators find the &0CHformational matrices useful for

spar!ing collaborative conversations focused on student1centeredlearning. 2 curriculum director or professional1development facilitator might

choose to use the matrices while posing thought1provo!ing %uestions such

as:

If I find that most of my instructional time in the conformsection of the matrix, does that indicate I am not a quality

teacher? Whats my next transformational step?

What does it mean to be transformational about our

instruction and assessment?What current curriculum-map units

encourage students to reform, outform,

or transform? What evidence supports

your reasoning?
