what is the leading learning series?
The leading learning series provides structure, tools, and implementation support to campus leaders throughout the school year. This year, in addition to planning instruction, lead4ward is excited to include a focus on intervention and process standards to assist campus leaders in developing their expertise in leading learning!
This year, campus leaders will have access to all three webinar series!
audience: principal and campus leadership team (or lead PLC)
membership year: August 1, 2019 - July 31, 2020
planning instruction
How do we use lead4ward resources to plan instruction?
As leaders, maintaining instructional focus is essential to ensuring teacher and student success. The planning instruction webinars are designed to help the principal and campus leadership team (or lead PLC) plan instruction that is relevant, engaging, and rigorous. Each webinar is guided by a customized action plan, relevant resources, and is recorded for flexibility of use. The focus is on improving instruction by creating a planning process that has structure, yet allows teachers to address differences in their classrooms.
intervention
How do we support students who need intervention?
Campuses accommodate a wide range of student abilities in their classrooms. As students struggle with learning, teachers need structures and strategies to meet the unique learning needs of particular students. In the intervention webinars, campus leaders learn how to leverage local assessment data in the moment, at the end of instruction, and over time to plan intervention that supports all students. We will explore the intervention concept of “pulling the string” and how it can ensure that no one goes backwards.
the power of process
How do we become champions of the process standards?
There are more student expectations in the curriculum than most of us can wrap our heads around; and, as a principal, it’s almost impossible to be an expert in all content areas. The process standards are consistent across grade levels, highly correlate with overall performance on assessments, and help teachers differentiate for learners. In the process champion webinars, we explore the importance of the process standards in learning, how to support teachers in effective planning using the process standards, and classroom observation tips for supporting process standards during instruction.
