Reflections on What We have Learned
Heather led us in an exercise to share with one another a "nugget" of knowledge that we've learned over the last year, summer, and the beginning of the school year. Here are some of those "nuggets"
- Be a good listener.
- Let it go...it's OK to move forward and work without knowing it all.
- Learning to incorporate mathematical practices.
- Never assume kids understand the directions you just gave.
- Teachers are some of the most resilient professionals on earth.
- No such thing as left brain/right brain things...the brain develops on both sides at the same time.
- Leadership is really problem solving..don't overthink it.
- Avengers...all of our team members and superheros.
- Innovation, Collaboration, Creation takes time. We must give one another time.
- Communication makes everything easier.
- I've learned how much I don't know, and how much more I want to know.
Discussion on the PLC Purpose
Further discussion about the purpose of PLC was discussed during our meeting. In connection with a review of the "Growth Mindset," our team looked at the current purpose statement, and whether we need to change the current statement which says:
"As instructional leaders representing LUSD, we recognize our schools as the heart of learning, caring, and support for all stakeholders. We commit to open communication, collaboration, and the pursuit of positive solutions to prepare our students for success in academics, society, and their future."
We used the following video to learn more and understand the idea of the Growth Mindset:
The team also had an in depth conversation about the need to use real-time data to begin analyzing the information coming out of assessments and instruction, and provide real feedback to impact change provide solutions.
