● http://scmidlandssummit.blogspot.com ● Imagine the Possibilities! ● Form will close on Tuesday, February 28, 2017 ● Proposal Submission Form ● Want one or more to present or to support (of your teachers)

Productive Struggles Produces gains and improves future performance What does this mean for education? Messaging to

● Students ○ Set expectations,verbally and often

● Others (parents, admin, etc.) ○ May judge if unfamiliar with goals ○ Lay out plan to them

● Self ○ Know your goal ○ Believe that it is worthwhile

Like riding a bike: struggle feedback struggle success Call to action:

● Create opportunities for productive struggle Tyler: point when a teacher asks for idea; “tell me what to do”

Diane: productive struggle makes us grow; with teachers, time is the enemy; teachers need scaffolding--race and go right now; with students, they need to struggle, less scaffolding Brady: we push, pull coach teachers to get better; they want to “perform” in class, not to struggle; end product of reflection, cycle of learning will improve Laura: Was there a sweet spot for struggle, feedback, reward? What about with teachers? Will high struggle stall them altogether? Wendy: Know your teachers. Ruth: Depends of the goal; data has to be there; don’t have time to fail Casey: Timelines pressure teachers; they may be unwilling to try, struggle Tami: high school teachers often want to be “shown”; bicycle example is a good one. Nikita: Some teachers get embarrassed and won’t ask for help; want a quick response, quick learn Brady: are teachers setting up a class where failure is embraced? Tasia: I appreciate teachers who are willing to fail in front of students Brady: we have to model for our kids what we ask them to do Coaching

● Belinda Flohr & Kathy O”Quinn ○ Coaching ○ Work with New to 2 teachers

Strategies: Bringing back mentoring program Visit new teachers for 2 years Phil Jackson: most effective way to forge a willing team is to call on the players’ need to connect with something larger than themselves... Planning Reflecting Problem Solving

Coaching is/isn’t/can be:

The coach does not have to have all the answers. The job is to listen and not judge. The coach should clarify, ask questions The coach is always non-judgmental The one doing the most talking is the one doing the most learning. Modeling:

● Paraphrase ● Respect time ● Offer strategies

There must be buy-in from the teacher. After Practice: Tyler: The coach needs to be cognizant of the question to ask and needs to know the person. Keep asking good questions that get them to talk. Tia: Trust is huge. They won’t share if they don’t trust you. Octavia: Teacher was looking for affirmation and permission to return to the “old ways.” Coach must find ways to keep level of trust. Taisha: Need to use sentence starters to get teacher to come to conclusions. What do you think would happen if…? Janice: Keep the teacher from jumping from the ledge. Whisper coaching helps; whisper comment into teacher’s ear, move away. Ruth: We are tech coaches, but pedagogy matters. Classroom management needs to be first. Nikita: Teachers are feeling pressure from so many places that the tech coach is sometimes the last person they want to see. Nikki: Teacher who needs credit hour for certification now listening; glad to have the time. It has to be their decision; we cannot force it. Jakki: Data meetings; chunking, baby steps; if I can get one teacher to try something, others will follow. Kudos to Regi: whisper coaching to 2nd grade teacher

● Nikki Allmann & Brady Venables ○ Coaching slides ○ **Using the SMART goals- create a goal for yourself to do this month** (See coaching

slides) Reflection on SMART goals

● What was your goal for the month? ● Did you meet the goal? ● What strategies did you use to reach this goal? ● 1 success?

Norm: Get into classrooms more to figure out PD. Nailed it. Janice: Met part of goal: focus on incorporating 21st C skills and surveying teachers; used Prism to share with admin and with teachers.

Denise: Teaching basic Google apps (organizing folders, etc.); teachers realized some of the limits of their knowledge; teachers appreciative. T-PACK

The dotted line is the context: the teacher’s school, community, PD, world environment. Ruth: Vialogues is a good tool for keeping students focused on video and allowing them to express their thoughts. Sharon: can use as Socratic discussion; you can see the conversation All were engaged the entire time. Tyler: The focus with this tool is good, but what do people do about this conversation after this? What follow-up strategies are working after? Emily: Brainstorming how to use this as I was using this: way to document teachers’ thoughts; TLC can use that feedback as evidence log and to reference in planning; can give teacher feedback on student understanding Laura: Reminded me of my teaching in high school. There is a print button. Print, post these thoughts. Put their words on the wall. (They all want to be on the wall.) Their good stuff gets lost sometimes. Norm: Can this be moderated? Janice: Let students know that what they type can be used as EVIDENCE if they make bad choices. Tami: Refers to TPACK in discussion with teachers; uses Hamburger Helper as a symbol of the need for all ingredients. TPACK starter questions How can we make this seem less forced?

New Teacher Support What should be in New to Two summer training? Team/group decided to minimize--teachers are overwhelmed Team/group worked on Tech Essentials for Teachers Site What is supported at school level? Team/group decided what TLCs need to provide at each time of year (pre, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th quarters. Team/group asking for feedback from TLCs. What are the next steps? Team/group will meet again to standardize procedures, info so that TLCs will know what new teachers know. They will also have the resources for TLCs to share with new hires/long-term subs. Every year, about 300 new teachers. This will help them to feel supported and welcome. Is there a list of teachers who have been to New to Two? Lunch Donna Teuber--R2Innovates the Teacher’s Guild from IDEO in San Francisco all about empathy, safe environment for students with diverse needs StoryCorps app Check out one from Nathan O-Neill Know my story--students can post stories Web Accessibility and Videos with Travis Cotton PDF Accessibility Checker http://www.do.richland2.org/~tcotton/PAC_2_0_3_0_en.zip Travis will double-check to see if alternate-text link to PDF will work. Google docs are fine. They can be embedded into the website. YouTube: Videos have to be accessible. If you create it and post it to the website, it must be close-captioned (sometimes this is done by YouTube). See if you get a CC (closed captioning) button. If it doesn’t have it, you will need to try again. This applies to videos produced by the teacher that deal with instruction or information and is shared with students or staff with accessibility issues. It must be word-for-word what the video says. This applies to any video you put on YouTube, whether embedded on the district or school website or not. This applies to content designed for instruction or education. It doesn’t matter where it is posted. It is the content creator’s responsibility to make sure the content is accessible. Training: During training (probably on March 2), the accessibility issues will be simulated for TLCs; 504s, 508s, etc. will be covered. Other stuff: Training must be done 30 days after agreement was signed. Bring the person from your school who “does” the website. Wave --Chrome extension that will check websites for accessibility Have these details been communicated to principals? Not an issue, says Travis Cotton. The school board knows.

More of an issue for universities than school districts at this point. August 20 is the deadline for the websites to be done. 2016-17 TLC Time

The person who submits the form is in contention for a prize. By December 16, we want them to have the information in. There is a month to complete the video. All the videos will be presented at an “Oscar” evening. The interest form is due in December. Perhaps we could have a student Digital Storytelling Workshop. What teachers do we wish to target?

It took 2 hours to take the test. Google gives you hints like: check a given number of attributes for a given question.. Forms, Spreadsheets, Charts are required. Sites: Make sure to do it in the new Google Sites. Be willing to have computer nearby to look up items. Make sure that you have the time to accomplish the tasks. The performance tasks are time-consuming because they require multiple steps. Level 1 was kind of fun. Level 2 was completed with 17 minutes to spare. When you pay, there is a delay before you can take the test. You have to have a working camera in place. Things are changing: go to the Trainer center. Donna’s scenarios are helpful because there is nothing in the the training center to assist with this.

Pam - Goal is to put together a Google Site that can serve 2 purposes:

1.) Help TLCs use as a resource 2.) Make it into a class so that it can be user-friendly for teachers to pursue

Use the remainder of time before lunch to review certain lessons to prepare for taking the exam over Winter break. AdvancED Observations in the Spring: Across the district, nation, and world Digital Learning typically scores the lowest. Elementary schools are typically the lowest average for all school levels. The scores for Digital Learning are low and have the ability to rise. When they come in to observe, they do have the ability to talk to students to get information they can check off that they may not see in the 20 minute observation. Teachers and students need to be trained on how to talk about their technology use. Ideas to improve this:

● TLCs train teachers to talk about the technology use with their students ● Train teachers to train their students to talk about their technology use.

Example: Observer enters but no tech use at the time. “Teacher could use this a time to state what may happen later in the class period about how students will use Google Classroom to collaborate later and students will share their work and feedback with each other. “ Quick Wins - Carol - Using opportunities when working with students, digital tools, and communicating to students the language that you want students and teachers to use. Think about if there is a common language at your school. How do we get the teachers to use the technology to generate collaboration or doing actual research so that students are creating original works for learning. Think of SAM-R. How do we move teachers from the substitution mode to where they are doing things at a augmentation or modification level? Make sure the technology is being used so that enhances learning and engagement. Using the interactive features of technology available in the classroom to push students and have them think together with the tech. In early elementary classrooms with Smartboards or other tech can happen where students work with each other. Don’t make it just a glorified projector in your classroom. 3 Gs - Try to find things that teachers are already doing that apply to these items. Highlight these for teachers and help them and their students speak to it. Creating this list would solidify ideas for teachers. Need examples of what each of the ELEOT tool G1, G2, G3 looks like in the classroom.

Ideas based on “tools” and 3 Gs Lunch Reminder: If you haven’t already….Please sign in with this link 1-2 pm - VoiceThread Here is the recording: https://voicethread.com/share/8426055/ Here's the link to our free workshop page: https://voicethread.com/workshops People can register on that page or view the archives on the right. What do we want a TLC meeting to be?

● Split into levels for all or some of the TLC meeting +2 ● Bring a presentation of an idea (PD?) and critique it as critical friends ● Work and collaboration time to develop PD +2 ● Choice format / differentiated (TLC time + breakout session for more depth) +2 ● Hear what TIS have learned at conferences +1 ● Bring back Tommy/Charles time + bring in instruction / T&L for overviews of district goals ● More collaborative / open seating (eye contact) ● Team building (scavenger hunt activity, memes) activities ● TISs develop and deliver materials that TLCs can run with +1

Other themes: opportunities to go to other schools to see what’s happening, opportunity to get together in groups outside of TLC meeting time to work on interest-based needs, targeted PD based on school level (or other commonality), structures that allow for commonly planned PD to be shared among schools, TLC google classroom?, a contact resource list Reminder: high school uses Google hangout to meet weekly Breakout Edu TLC Reminders - Pay special attention to the Highlighted Items -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tech department from 0-45 people over the years, core tech is now in one place. DELC people moving to old DO building (Yay A/C!). At admin meeting, pushed keeping extra things off TLCs so they can focus. Will keep promoting that. 1:1 computing not ever done. Keep focusing on what we can do to use tech to help students. Nuts and bolts: device damage - keep trying to reduce, need to come up with incentives for students to take care of devices. If we give 9th graders CBs for life, will they take better care. Keep pushing CDMP fee. Phishing scams - really dangerous - creating email accounts that impersonate others, staying on top if contemporary events and trying play on that. Created the ‘weird’ test. If it seems weird, it probably is. If you are logged into R2 domain and a document asks you to log in - weird. Don’t do it. R2 Innovates moving to R2i2 soon and hoping to expand.
