Chula Vista Elementary School District’s Post

🏫 A growing number of school systems recognize that HQIM can expand access to challenging and engaging teaching, therefore closing gaps in opportunity for students. Still, curricular materials themselves are a mere tool. So, what does it take to accomplish consistent, frequent, and skillful use? That central question is a big part of why Leading Educators exists. We know that skillful use and adaptation of materials takes time, practice, and collective buy-in to succeed. Few school systems have managed to scale the level of instructional supports necessary for real results on their own, but our partners are proving that it's possible. In Chicago Public Schools: 🤝 Stakeholders from 36 schools worked with Leading Educators to build a Networked Improvement Community (NIC) focused on problem-solving around common challenges with curriculum implementation. 🧠 The NIC goes beyond the technical, cultivating mindsets that support effective change management and high student expectations. 📚 Related professional learning focuses on applying instructional knowledge and improvement science skills as consistent practices.

Professional Development (PD) days for teachers are designated times set aside for educators to enhance their skills, collaborate with peers, and engage in learning opportunities outside of the regular curriculum. Here are some key components and benefits of PD days: Key Components: 1. Workshops and Seminar: Teachers can participate in specialized workshops that focus on new teaching strategies, educational technologies, or specific content areas. 2. Collaborative Planning: PD days often include time for teachers to collaborate on lesson planning, share resources, and develop unit plans across grade levels or subjects. 3. Guest Speakers: Educators may invite experts in education or related fields to inspire and provide fresh perspectives on teaching practices. 4.

Benefits: - Improved Teaching Practices - Enhanced Student Outcomes: - Increased Job Satisfaction - Adaptation to Change By effectively utilizing PD days, schools can ensure that their educators are well-equipped to provide the best education possible to their students. #PD #teacher #Math #Development #School #Classroom_managemt #CHAMPS #Cognita #International #Teaching #Dasman #DBS #Kuwait #Education #Professional

Attention all School Superintendents! #EducationalLeadership is what we “do”, and that’s why I really want to begin a Superintendent’s Reading Challenge on LinkedIn: “Superintendents READ 2024” The requests are simple to incorporate into your busy schedules. 1. Place the name of a school on your “weekly” calendar. 2. Allocate one hour of time. 3. Choose a different grade level each week (PreK-3). 4. Read a book to students in one classroom. 5. Speak with students about the importance of reading. 6. Take pictures and post on #LinkedIn & #Instagram Using the “official” hashtag: #SuperintendentsREAD2024 Many district level Strategic Plans that I read, often emphasize how the district will focus on increasing reading proficiency in grades K-3. By participating in this challenge, #Superintendents will demonstrate to teachers, students, and parents that reading is a priority. If a School Superintendent read to a class every week for 1 hour from January - June 2024, the approximate total time spent reading to students would be 1,440 minutes. I have no doubt that Dr. Andraé Townsel, Superintendent, is up for this challenge! 😊 Share the challenge- Repost #SuperintendentsREAD2024 #Reading #teachers #instructionalcoaching #edleadership #educationalleadership #schoolleaders #principals #NASBE #AASA #ASCD #literacy #K12schools #innovation #earlychildhoodeducation #highereducation

🌟 Celebrating Transformative Change in Education 🌟 Imagine walking into a room filled with dedicated educators, each with decades of experience, yet all standing on the brink of a thrilling transformation. As an Academic Coach at Bryt Schools , I’ve had the incredible privilege of witnessing this profound shift in the education landscape toward skills-based learning. Transitioning from long-established teaching methods to a dynamic, skills-focused approach is a courageous leap. I’ve seen teachers face the challenge of integrating technology and interactive lesson plans with determination and creativity. It’s truly rewarding to observe their growth as they embrace new ways to engage students. Through the Bryt curriculum, educators are not just teaching—they're igniting curiosity and fostering critical thinking. Activities that promote collaboration and real-world application transform classrooms into vibrant learning communities. Watching students light up with excitement and take ownership of their education reaffirms the importance of this shift. I am deeply appreciative of the positive impact we are making together in the education system. This transformation isn’t merely about changing methodologies; it’s about creating enriching experiences that equip students for the complexities of the future. Let’s continue to celebrate and support one another on this journey as we inspire the next generation of learners! #Education #SkillsBasedLearning #TeacherTransformation #Empowerment
