• Uses professional development as its central feature:
- James Bellanca’s Active Learning Strategies Handbook- Dr. Marcia Tate’s Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites
Key Guidelines for WFSGs Teachers work in teams with rotating leadership. Groups meet three times a month.
• 3--45 minute meetings• Peer Observations once each cycle
Groups establish and implement their own action plans based on data disaggregated at the beginning of the school year.
Instructional Council is held once a month for sharing among groups.
Fourth Week of every Cycle
One Representative of each WFSG
Principal attends every Instructional Council
Dear Instructional Council Attendee:
At your next WFSG meeting, your leader will ask you to share HIGHLIGHTS of what you heard at the Instructional Council meeting with the rest of your group.
I have attached a copy of the minutes. Please review them, highlight key points, and bring them to your WFSG meeting next week.
PLEASE DO NOT READ THESE PAGES TO YOUR GROUP. Pick out the most interesting and useful items and share those.
Thank you.
If you have any questions, please see Gerrie or Heidi at your convenience.
