A Path to Ensure PLCs Best Impact Student Learning

Dave Nagel

Page 2: Dave Nagel --PLC impact through mind frame -VL slides

Understand connection between Visible Learning mind frames and success in professional learning communities Recognize five core factors influencing PLC impact on student learning Understand teacher development of mind frames in PLCs occurs over time Recognize importance of developing instructional routines for dialogue around student learning Understand creating common challenges leads PLCs to better view assessment as feedback; fostering a shared understanding of student progress

Learning  Inten+ons  

#vlconf2014

Page 3: Dave Nagel --PLC impact through mind frame -VL slides

Articulate reasons that limit PLC impact on student learning and how to address these in their school setting Determine actions to empower learning teams with appropriate structured freedom leading to increased efficacy Develop PLC instructional protocols for dialogue related to student learning Create common challenges for your PLCs that will unite adult actions and efforts

Success  Criteria  

#vlconf2014

Page 4: Dave Nagel --PLC impact through mind frame -VL slides

Are your PLCs having their

greatest possible impact?

#vlconf2014

These  PLC  traits  contribute  as  much  as  36%  of  variance  in  quality  classroom  pedagogy  and  85%  variance  in  achievement.                              

         (Vescio,  2008).

Why  aren’t  all  PLCs  having  this  impact?

Possible Reasons for Lack of PLC Impact

Validating Ineffective Practices

PLC change focuses on teaching not learning !

Place to Avoid Change

False Assumptions

Common term for any conversation

How  do  the  reasons  for      PLC  impact  being  diminished  

resonate  with  you?

 PercepAons  and  beliefs  of  teachers  were        the  most  significant  predictors  of  change    

               (Smylie  1988  p.  23)    

Why  Mind  Frames  MaQer  

#vlconf2014

Page 11: Dave Nagel --PLC impact through mind frame -VL slides

Excitement & interest

“This will be

great!”

Retreat “What I was doing was

good enough!”

Awareness

“I can do better—I want to be

better!”

Developing Mind Frames “My outlook professionally had permanently changed!”

Drop  out  Indifference  /  

Passive  aggressive    

Stay Put

Efforts towards status quo

Paralysis

Inability to develop Mind

Frames

What  is  the  current  reality  of  the  mind  frames  of  the  PLCs  in  your  school?

Measurable  improvement  in  student  learning  only  occurred  in  PLCs  that  focused  on  changing  the  instrucAonal  pracAces  of  their  teachers.  

                     Supovitz,  2002;  Supovitz  &  Christman  2003  #vlconf2014

PLCs  that  focus  on  LEARNING…Not  teaching

CollaboraAon  in  PLCs    

Too  much  collabora<on  can  be  s<fling;  too  li9le  leads  to  teacher  isola<on.  Leaders  must  ensure  there  is  the  just  right  amount  of  teachers  suppor<ng  colleagues  for  effec<ve  changes  in  prac<ce  to  occur.    

                           (Opfer  and  Pedder,  2011)

Efficacy  &  Empowerment      

CollecAve  responsibility  for  student  learning  is  vital.  Creates  proper  peer  pressure  and  accountability    and  eliminates  isolaAon    

(King  &  Newmann,  2001;  Kruse,  Louis  &  Bryk,  1995;  Leithwood  &  Louis,  1998)  

#vlconf2014

As  Resnick  (2010)  highlights,  collabora<ve  rou<nes  among  teachers  are  an  important  component  in  securing  improved  student  learning    outcomes.

Normalizing    

When  normalizing  defines  a  challenge  as  an  expected  part  of  classroom  work  and  teacher  experience,  this  will  most  o[en  supply  reassurance  and  build  relaAonal  trust.                      (LiQle  &  Horn,  2007).  

#vlconf2014 #vlconf2014

When  teachers  posiAon  the  person  staAng  the  challenge  as  helpless  in  the  face  of  circumstances  beyond  his  or  her  control  team  most  o[en  did  not  look  to  any  soluAons.                        (Horn  and  LiQle,  2010)

Learning  is  HARD  work  

Dissonance  in  teacher  thinking  is  o[en  required  for  teachers  to    unlearn  much  of  what  they  believe,  know,  and  know  how  to  do  in    order  to  learn  and  adopt  new  pracAces.
