7 tteachers 3 TEACHING TEACHERS PAGE 7 FOCUS ON NSDC S STANDARDS SCENARIO A Teachers arrive at a designated location where all teachers from one grade level are scheduled to meet for the day. They have been promised continental breakfast and box lunches and six hours of professional development credit for the day. The outcome of the day is to familiarize teachers with the curriculum, help them know how to use it, and to teach the new inquiry-based instructional methodology the curriculum is based on. The science coordinators spend most of the six hours lecturing about how the curriculum was developed and explaining that it is based on both state and national science standards, show scope and sequence charts of the key strands in the curriculum, explain the pacing guides, and share common benchmark assessments that teachers will use to assess students in science. They learn how the benchmark assessment will be given on a set schedule, how the score will be turned into the principal at each school, and how those scores will be sent to the district office for analysis of how well each school is implementing the curriculum. The coordinators talk about the difference between inquiry and direct instruction and cite the benefits and challenges of both approaches. They show a videotape of an inquiry-based science lesson based on the curriculum and ask teachers if they have questions. Teachers make several comments about the added work and the challenge of each approach. At the end of the day, teachers receive their curriculum guides and are told to call the science coordinators assigned to their school if they have additional questions. SCENARIO B Teachers meet regionally in classrooms. As they arrive, they receive their curriculum guides, learn where and what typical science classroom equipment is in their learning room, and are grouped into grade-level teams of four. Each team is instructed to learn how the curriculum guide is organized using a set of questions appropriate to each team. After 20 minutes of exploration, the science coordinator highlights a few key points about the guide and answers questions. In their grade-level teams of four, teachers next task is to prepare a 25-minute lesson using the curriculum guide. They are asked to make sure their lesson incorporates a few key principles high student engagement, hands-on, and discovery vs. telling. Teams are encouraged to spend a few minutes clarifying what these terms mean to them and are pointed to several resources in the curriculum guide that might be helpful. They learn that they will present their lesson to another team. The teams have 75 minutes for preparation. After a short break, each team is paired with another team to observe each other s lesson. As one team becomes the students, and a member of the other team teaches the lesson, the three remaining members take notes on how students respond in the lesson. The process is repeated when the other team steps into the teacher and observer role. Teams share feedback with each other using the rubric for an age-appropriate inquiry lesson included in the curriculum guide. Next, teachers in their teams map out the first month of science lessons, what resources and questions they have, how to use the curriculum guide, and what equipment, materials, or other resources they are likely to need. They wrap up the day talking about how this approach to teaching science is both the same and different than what they did before, what they anticipate the benefits will be for students, and what they want students to gain from their learning.

9 Standards Treasure Hunt Working in small groups of 2 or 3, find the following information from the Standard s book. Work together as a team so that each person knows the answers. This is a collaborative activity rather than divide and conquer task. 1. What stem begins each of the standards? 2. What are the core concepts embedded in the stem for each standard? 3. Where will you find a diagram explaining the relationship between professional learning and student results? 4. What is the purpose of the Crosswalk with previous standards? 5. Name one of the prerequisites for professional learning 6. Where will you find a list of standards including core elements (Standards Summary) 7. What is one purpose of the section, How to use the Standards for professional learning? 8. Where will you find the names of the Standards Revision task force members? 9. Name one of the authors listed in the related research section for the implementation standard? 10. According to the book, which four groups should use the standards to set policy and shape practice? 11. What is the holistic view of the Standards? Where would you find this described in the book?

10 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: IMPLEMENTATION STANDARD Professional learning that increases educator effectiveness and results for all students applies research on change and sustains support for implementation of professional learning for longterm change. Apply change research 1. What bodies of change research do you turn to most often to inform your work on professional learning? 2. What findings from research do you use when planning and implementing professional learning? Sustain implementation 3. What are the major reasons implementation fails? 4. What are several ways to sustain implementation? Provide constructive feedback 5. What is the value of constructive feedback? 6. What are the attributes of constructive feedback? 7. Who holds responsibility for giving constructive feedback?

11 Differences Between an Innovation Configuration Map and Rubric Structure &Conventions Major Innovation Configuration (IC) Differences Map 1. Range Highest level is on the left, and lower numbers are ideal 2. Number of Levels Number of levels vary for each component (e.g. 1-4; 1-5; 1-6) 3. Voice Written in active voice (always begins with an action verb) Rubric Highest scale is on the right, and higher numbers are ideal Number of levels are the same (uniform) for each descriptor/indicator (usually for evaluative purposes) Written in passive voice (may include more adjectives and adverbs) 4. Purpose Describes behaviors Describes qualities Purpose & Functions 5. Focus Focused on responsibilities of roles (often many roles) to support implementation of new practice, the innovation. Focused on student work, assessments, etc. 6. Uses Primarily intended for support and assistance; growth orientation. Used to inform what a new practice is and how to enact it Primarily used for evaluation of a final product NOTE: These are general differences. In that rubrics take many forms, some rubrics are very similar to an innovation configuration map. J. Kennedy and P. Roy, 2013

12 Introduction: Innovation Configuration Maps for the Professional Learning Standards Change is not only about the implementers those who will change their practices but also about those who will facilitate the implementers in making the change. Hall and Hord, Implementing Change, 2001, p. 27 Ensuring robust, profound, and high-quality implementation of educational programs, processes, or innovations has once again captured national attention. Investigations of successful and unsuccessful programs have confirmed that thoughtful, strategic plans need to include continuous monitoring and adjusting to ensure educators receive the support they need to enhance curriculum, instruction, assessments, and leadership practices. An Innovation Configuration (IC) map is an instrument used to define and quantify implementation of a new program or practice (Hall and Hord, 2001). It identifies and describes the major components and a continuum of implementation levels. An IC map is a tool that describes in specific, operational terms what new practices look like. It presents patterns of innovation implementation from non-use to ideal practice; it clarifies what a program or practice is and is not. An IC map provides an ideal or high-fidelity picture of a change and helps people identify the gap between their current practices and ideal implementation. It promotes reflection among practitioners and can serve as a formative assessment tool. Key characteristics of an Innovation Configuration map include Clarifies what a new program is or isn t Defines quality clearly what it looks like in use Indicates the degree to which the innovation is being implemented Informs how to best assist and support educator s successful use of new practices Provides a blueprint for learning, planning and resources required for implementation Determines significant factors that ensure successful implementation of the innovation to increase student achievement Provides a consistent guide to how districts and school staff begin and continue efforts to implement the standards of professional learning 11

13 HOW TO READ AN IC MAP: [See Figure 1 below] 1. An IC map is written to describe the actions of a specific role group. In Volume 1, teachers, coaches, school leadership team, and principal responsibilities are described. 2. The Desired Outcome describes a critical outcome for each role related to implementation of standards of professional learning. 3. Ideal or high-quality implementation appears on the left-hand side Level One. 4. The continuum of behaviors describes the degree of implementation from Ideal Level One to Not Yet Begun Level Five/Six 5. There is no pre-determined number of levels required for each component. Some components may contain three levels while others might have six. Figure 1: Sample IC map for Central Office Staff CENTRAL OFFICE STAFF Desired Outcome 1: Develops strategic structures and processes for the effective implementation of Effective Instruction, Standards, Leadership, and Assessment Literacy in all schools. Level One Level Two Level Three Level Four Level Five Level Six Designs a schedule for strategic use of time that Level One: includes Ideal clearly Descriptor identified goals Provides time for learning teams to work, while focusing on district goals related to effect- Designs a plan that provide time with clearly identified goals; Allows learning teams to work, monitoring that time is used effectively to address district goals related to effective instruct- Recognizes that time for effective implementation is critical and develops a plan to provide time for teams to work on effective instruction, and Assessment Literacy. Recognizes the need for time for effective implementation but does not develop a plan for providing time Continuum of Behaviors Has not addressed providing time for implementation of CHETL, Assessment Literacy, and KCAS. 12

14 Five Most Common Uses of Innovation Configuration Maps 1. As a tool for self reflection 2. As a way to guide peer observation 3. As an observation guide for principals and others who observe and coach those implementing an innovation 4. As a professional development diagnostic tool to support training and assist educators in the development of new practices and strategies 5. As a means to research, document, or evaluate implementation and degree of fidelity to original design. Hall and George (2000). The use of Innovation Configurations Maps in assessing implementation: The bridge between development and student outcomes. Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, New Orleans, LA. (ERIC Document Reproduction Service No. ED ) 13

15 6. Monitor and refine implementati on 7. Evaluate results 1. Use data to determine student and educator learning needs 5. Use new strategies with local support 2. Identify student and aligned educator learning goals 4. Select and implement new practices 3. Develop educators' knowledge & skills Learning Communities Standard, in Standards for Professional Learning, pg. 24 Step 1: This step includes two components: a) identifying student learning needs through an analysis of a variety of student learning data, and b) identifying educator learning needs required to attain identified student learning needs. Step 2: This step contains three components: 1) identify goals that reflect student learning needs; subsequently, 2) specify goals for educators that address the learning needs of students, and 3) identify strategies and practices to accomplish these goals. Step 3: This step focuses on educators engaging in professional learning in order to extend their knowledge and skills regarding new practices, content, content-specific pedagogy, how student learn, and management of classroom environments that support solutions to student learning needs. Step 4: This step focuses on selecting and implementing appropriate evidence-based strategies (new practices) to achieve educator learning goals and consequently, student learning goals. Step 5: This step is about providing ongoing support so that each educator implements new classroom practices with quality. This support is provided by PLC members, instructional coaches, district support, and other colleagues. Step 6: This step is about monitoring educators progress toward using new practices in order for those practices to be refined. Step 7: This step requires learning communities to collect data and other evidence to determine whether their own learning goal has been attained. When it has, then the community examines student learning data to determine whether their goal has been attained. 14

LEARNING DESIGNS What factors are important to consider when selecting learning designs? Which learning designs maximize the active engagement of learners? What learning theories and principles guide the selection of learning designs? IMPLEMENTATION What learning designs strong support implementation? Which learning designs are more appropriate for different stages of implementation? How can specific learning designs be enhanced to include frequent constructive feedback? OUTCOMES How can designers build coherence among activities through their choice of learning designs? How do designers of professional learning use performance standards and student learning outcomes as they design learning?

19 What have you discovered/learned that has made you stop and think about professional learning in a different way? What are the barriers, pitfalls, and monsters I anticipate as I consider changing professional learning? monster What previously held ideas or practices have had to give way (or yield) to new knowledge concerning professional learning that impacts student achievement? The professional learning standards are like sign posts how will they influence your pathway toward improved student learning? 18
