Poll

“Leaders who promote and participate in teacher PL and development has an effect size of 0.84” This is leadership practice has the highest impact.

I think OLG does this…

• Extremely well

• Rather well

• Room for improvement

• Not sure

Training builds compliance; learning builds self-determination and growth.

Balance between need and want to learn in PL, avoiding “initiative fatigue”

Six Key Ingredients

1. Learning focus on outcomes not processes

2. Teachers must adapt to learning but learning must be adapted to fit context

3. Frequent and specific feedback on results to know it is working

4. Valuable evidence (from classroom and from normed)

5. Need evidence quickly

6. Ongoing support and pressure to keep moving forward

Running towards or away?!

Open Ended

How does the ILT (and other OLG staff) ensure that student councils are learning how to collaborate and lead?

​Which PL/PD practices should be fostered
and which should be abandoned?

Longer and more consistent inquiry-based > one-day sit-and-get workshops.

​​De-implementation

Create a community of learners around topics that will help us impact student learning the most.
