Effective Professional Learning

Suggestions for How to Use this Package

The purpose of this Field Guide is to provide materials and activities which will encourage

dialogue and discussion about Supervision For Learning.

The activities and resources are intended to:

1. Prioritize the learning

2. Foster inquiry

3. Facilitate the dissemination and sharing of knowledge

4. Inspire engagement in Supervision For Learning

5. Encourage a partnership in learning

6. Improve learning, teaching and leading in school systems

In implementing professional improvement Ron Ferguson of Harvard University, shares several

strategic actions that will foster sustained success:

1. Select ideas that foster trust not mistrust

2. Ensure shared leadership

3. Plan, initiate and implement in ways that inspire

4. Support ongoing implementation

5. Recognize, celebrate and reward accomplishments

6. Sustain coherence

The following steps will support the implementation of this professional learning package:

1. The package is divided into 4 sections, each designed to be about 30 – 45 minutes long.

2. Appoint a member to become the Lead Facilitator and coordinate the session or

sessions.

3. You can work alone or with a committee to organize the delivery of the sessions.

4. The Lead Facilitator or committee should choose the dates, locations, times and send

out an invitation to your targeted audience.

Introduction of facilitator(s) and participants

This package is designed to build on and sustain conversations

and work related to the theme of Clarifying Purpose.

Key intention:

“An essential part of leadership is the creation of a performance-

oriented culture that has professional learning and collaboration

at its core (Sparks, 2005).” Clarifying purpose means ensuring

that professional relationships, staff collaboration, learner

focused dialogue, and systems and supports are focused on

improving learning for all with clear expectations, progress

monitoring, and mutual accountability.”

Overview of package

“The way you get meaning into your life is to devote

yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your

community around you, and devote yourself to creating

something that gives you purpose and meaning.”

Mitch Albom quotes

Presenters - Liz Bell, Read Jorgensen, Woody Bradford

Activity #1 - Mission Statements to Student Achievement

� How do mission statements and priorities become truly

learner centered?

Sharing of Examples:

� Consider ways that your mission statement comes to life

in your school.

� How is your mission statement learner centered?

� How are your priority values demonstrated within the

classroom, and within the culture of the school?

Activity #2 - Treasure Hunt

� Choose a few different sources of data (Formative vs.

Summative)

� Look at what the data is telling you

� Prioritize the most important trends you see from the

data

� Separate or identify groups of students who are ‘at risk’

student achievement

Page 13: Clarifying Purpose: Follow-up Field Guide · Clarifying Purpose: Follow-up Field Guide To support administrators in identifying the key elements involved in aligning values within

Copyright © 2011 by BCPVPA

� When creating the plan, embed values that connect with

commitments people will be making to see the plan

through

Activity #3 - Evaluation vs. Supervision

Set the Stage - Going through the Process

Setting - Choose the subject area (i.e. art, math, language arts)

and grade level

Character - Choose the teacher and experience level of the

teacher

Plot - It is the evaluation year for this teacher. You are trying to

ensure the process is worth while so that learning occurs. In

your initial evaluation process meeting with the teacher.

Describe how you would clarify the purpose for learning. Write

some things down that would help guide the conversation

between you and this teacher. Some things to think

about...What values are in place for your school? How is

Evaluation vs. Supervision defined in the school? What are the

structures in place to support the process? How are you going to

ensure there is a balance of professional and personal

conversations along the journey? What data will you use and

look at together to help guide the process?

Once you have completed writing the ‘mock’ script you would

use, take turns with a partner role playing the scenario. Make

sure your partner (the teacher) links their ‘role’ to the setting

and character that has been described.

Activity #3

At Lord Byng Secondary our goal is to provide a safe learning environment that enables students to challenge their intellectual and creative abilities and allows them to meet their full potential as citizens.

Our vision is to provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment where children will recognize and achieve their fullest potential, so that they can make their best contribution to society.

We will provide an environment in which every individual is cared for spiritually, morally, intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally

Our school believes that every child is entitled to enjoy his/her childhood. They should be valued for their individuality, culture and heritage. They should be encouraged to develop their full potential in a stimulating and caring environment.

At Windsor Secondary School we strive to treat each other with

respect and dignity, appreciate diversity, actively pursue lifelong

learning through different opportunities and value everyone’s right

to an education in a challenging, safe, supportive environment.

Set the Stage - Going through the Process

Setting - Choose the subject area (i.e. art, math, language arts) and grade level

Character - Choose the teacher and experience level of the teacher

Plot - It is the evaluation year for this teacher. You are trying to ensure the process is worth while so that learning occurs. In your initial evaluation process meeting with the teacher. Describe how you would clarify the purpose for learning. Write some things down that would help guide the conversation between you and this teacher. Some things to think about...What values are in place for your school? How is Evaluation vs. Supervision defined in the school? What are the structures in place to support the process? How are you going to ensure there is a balance of professional and personal conversations along the journey? What data will you use and look at together to help guide the process?

Once you have completed writing the ‘mock’ script you would use, take turns with a partner role playing the scenario. Make sure your partner (the teacher) links their ‘role’ to the setting and character that has been described.
