“You don’t have to change the student population to get results, you have to change the conditions under which they learn.”
![Page 3: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Almost everyone wants schools to be better,
but almost no one wants them to be different.

You must make progress on two important, yet divergent disciplines
1. Do what we
“Already” do
even better?
2. How to invent
a different future
for the student?

It’s All About a System!

BIG QUESTION
If you could get each of the faculty and staff in your school to do one or two things:
• very well
• consistently
• that would impact learning positively
What would those things be?

Systems are challenged today like never before and the key challenge that we face is results.
![Page 13: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In an environment driven by results, the best strategy is to
“DEVELOP YOUR PEOPLE.”
Broaden the definition of learning in your
system to include adults.
![Page 14: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why do Systems Fail?
Ignorance, we do not have all the knowledge.
The knowledge exists but we do not use it correctly.
![Page 15: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How do you get good at what you do?
The great seem to have the ability to work through their weaknesses.
Being just a slight bit better makes all the difference in the world.
• Diligence
• Doing it right
![Page 16: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If we want to be serious about students’ learning, we need to be serious about adult learning. We need to continually implement with fidelity, seek and accept ideas, help (coaching), and accept criticism.

Fidelity of Implementation
Leading and Lagging Indicators

The focus must be on the way we work.
• Cooperation is what was valued in the past. It
is about efficiency: “You do this and I will do
that.”
• Collaboration is where we should focus. It is
about shared creation and shared solutions, in
which the focus is not on the process but on
the specific results, and everyone in the system
has responsibility for the results.
![Page 19: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Carrot and Stick vs. Coaching
You can’t be successful today by being alone, autonomy does not get you to be great!
Its about discipline
Its about collaboration

Looking Forward
Focused and coherent adult learning
Allowing people to be all that they can be, thru collaborative focused efforts
Build in-house capacity
![Page 29: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Leadership It Takes
Leadership that Combines Passion with Competence:
All educators effectively cultivate not only a sense of urgency but also a sense of possibility, built on demonstrated expertise among people in key positions and their commitment to continuous improvement.
Ron Ferguson, “Closing the Achievement Gap”
![Page 30: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Leadership It Takes
Streamlined and Coherent Curriculum:
The district purposefully selects curriculum materials and places some restrictions on school and teacher autonomy in curriculum decisions. The district also provides tools (including technology) and professional development to support classroom-level delivery of specific curricula and high yield strategies.
Ron Ferguson, “Closing the Achievement Gap”
![Page 31: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Our First Training: Open Response
OPEN RESPONSE STEPS TO FOLLOW
1. READ QUESTION CAREFULLY.
2. CIRCLE OR UNDERLINE KEY WORDS.
3. RESTATE QUESTION AS THESIS (LEAVE BLANKS)
4. READ PASSAGE CAREFULLY.
5. TAKE NOTES THAT RESPOND TO THE QUESTION.
BRAINSTORM & MAP OUT YOUR ANSWER.
6. COMPLETE YOUR THESIS.
7. WRITE YOUR RESPONSE CAREFULLY, USING
YOUR MAP AS A GUIDE.
8. STATEGICALLY REPEAT KEY WORDS FROM
THESIS IN YOUR BODY AND IN YOUR END
SENTENCE.
9. PARAGRAPH YOUR RESPONSE.
10. REREAD AND EDIT YOUR RESPONSE.
![Page 32: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Now I will model the ten steps students will use when answering an open-
response item. The following chart includes the training steps that the
facilitator will use and an explanation of the work to be done by the
participants.
Let’s go through the ten steps using The Book of Ruth as our sample text.
5: Take notes that respond
to the question. Brainstorm
and map out your answer.
Remind students that they
should be doing ACTIVE
reading. They should use
strategies to develop their
answer, such as taking notes,
circling and underlining key
words, and using brackets.
Follow reading strategies
developed in the workshops.
Here’s an example of explaining a step:
![Page 33: Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Role Each of Us Must Play](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5587283fd8b42ad3138b461d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Follow up the Interdisciplinary Training.
Next step – HOW to bring this into the classroom
Lessons developed
Implemented according to a calendar
So then what…

We didn’t leave it to chance. (Success by design, not by chance!)
The implementation was according to a specific timeline…
Step THREE: Implemented with fidelity and a plan

As a follow up to this activity, I am requiring Department Heads to
collect from each teacher at least one student sample from each of the
teachers’ classes. The student samples should include:
Student Name
Teacher Name
Date
Course Name and Level
Period
A copy of the reading selection and question
Evidence of the student’s active reading
All pre-writing work that the student has done, e.g. webs
A copy of the written open response
The new scoring rubric and completed assessment
After you have collected the samples from each teacher and have had
the opportunity to review them for quality and completeness, please
send them to me in a department folder with a checklist of your
teachers. Again, please be sure that your teachers clearly label their
student samples.
The Open Response calendar of
implementation is as follows:
Nov 2-6: Social Science, Social Sci Biling.
Nov 30-Dec 4: Wellness, JROTC
Dec 14-18: Science, Science Bilingual
Jan 11-15: Business, Tech, & Career Ed.
Jan 25-29: Math, Math Bilingual
Feb 22-26: Foreign Lang, Special Ed
Mar. 7-11: English, ESL, Guidance
Mar 20-24 Family &Cons. Sci, ProjGrads

How do we know the students are learning it?

Culture Trumps Strategy Culture is the set of habits that allows a group of people to
cooperate by assumption rather than by negotiation
Do we Trust each other?
Disagreement means what to us at our school?
Who owns school performance?
The successful culture allows us to work with each other
• Accountability - to each other and ourselves
• Ownership - of the outcomes
• Commitment - to achieving more each day
• Belief – that anything is possible if we work together.
• Will – to continue pressing forward change gets difficult.
• What is your role in changing our culture?
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building
the new.” - Socrates
