A2: The best advice I got about the workshop model is to to attempt it because it puts the learning on the students, allowing the teacher to become a facilitator. #learnbpschat

A4: I often planned my conferences based on the previous days’ exit tickets which allowed me to see who needed support. During gradual release, I could also identify who I needed to confer with, and often, it would be a small group. #learnbpschat

Dice games, channel surfing, junk drawers, and vacation planning were all a part of our co-teaching experience today in Sarah McMahon’s AVID class. The goal was to apply Costa’s Level of Thinking, and students were challenged and engaged! #learnbps

A teacher leader is....A teacher leader is not... Our Instructional Leadership Team is digging into an article by Charlotte Danielson to find out! #learnbps

Thank you to Nancy Akhavan for the amazing day of tailoring your expertise to help teachers achieve their goals! We always love working with you! @Rabenbergta #learnbps

AVID asked us, “How can educators support literacy across campus?” HMS teachers say, “Support teachers in establishing rigorous reading routines around the gradual release model!” HMS Literacy Lounge #learnbps

I am so grateful for the opportunities we have in this district! 🙏🏼 Where else could you work with Steve Barkley, Nancy Akhavan, and Jimmy Casas all within a week?! Nothing better than learning from these educational leaders! Thank you! #learnbps

Jodi Pappas—Coach at HMS. I learned that culture is built on tradition. #learnbpschat

A1: I need processing partners and time to process and then apply. Luckily I work with so many people who engage in this work with me! #learnbpschat

A2–I had a group of students who struggled with supporting their claim with relevant text evidence. The gap in my learning was the assumption I made that students knew how to do this. Mini lesson opportunity for me! #learnbpschat

A3—The opportunities I have to grow professionally are endless. The consultants we get to work with have provided me with amazing insight and feedback. My coaching PLC does the same as does our ILT. #learnbpschat

A4–Teachers chose their own data-driven collaborative inquiry question to guide their work this year. Its been great seeing the various avenues teams have selected for their focus! #learnbpschat

A5–I’m usually upfront when I’m trying something new whether it be in a co-teaching opportunity or with staff members. I ask for some specific feedback as well. #learnbpschat

Practicing Swivl, engaging in a coaching pre-conference, and seeking feedback from my coach colleagues tomorrow! Thanks Kat and A Overbeck for supporting me in my learning journey! #learnbps

Thanks to the collaboration between Shelly Kuntz and Kat, Health Fair students were knowledgable about their topics and reflective about their learning process! Organization, researching, and time management are skills students gained! #learnbps @Rabenbergta

Horizon teachers welcomed the opportunity to work with Nancy Akhavan today! Nancy taught a math strategies class, co-taught math, observed a math class, and helped a team dig into student work and data. Amazing day of learning! Thank you, Nancy! #learnbps

Ss were really “stretching” their thinking today as they engaged in Literary Yoga with HMS Literacy Lounge! They connected yoga poses with elements of literature to think critically about characters from their books. #learnbps @Rabenbergta

Our teachers and students are amazing! Great job Storm Team!
