The Right Work of Teams•Collaborating about Next Steps by Looking at Results•Making a Commitment to the Agreed Process
Teams Increase Student Learning by Collaborating about
Next Steps Based on Results
Successful schools are places where teams of teachers meet regularly to focus on student work and assessment then change their instructional practice accordingly to get better results.
Michael Fullan, 2000
It’s not about which teacher got better results; it’s about identifying and sharing the practice or strategy that resulted in the greatest number of students reaching proficiency in the learning targets taught !
Guiding Question
How does looking at student work help our collaborative teams focus on results and address the critical questions of teaching and learning?Does looking at student work provide a common picture of what success looks like for this unit of study?
Critical Questionsof Teaching and Learning
1. What do all students need to know, understand and be able to do in this lesson or unit of study? 1.5 -- What CORE instruction will best facilitate the learning?
2. How will we know if they have learned it?
3. How will we respond if students do not learn? 3.5 -- What TARGETED or INTENSIVE instruction will likely have the
most impact, given the evidence of student learning? 4. How will we respond when they already know it? 4.5 -- What projects or collaborative studies will likely have the most impact for enrichment or acceleration, given the evidence of student learning?

discovered • –What led to the results and why?• •Now What?: (15 minutes) promote data-driven
decision making by challenging the team to apply what has been learned to instructional practice
