A1: Developing & maintaining growth mindsets - we're all co-learners & contribute different assets & experiences #yrdsbtalk

KCBOMBARD - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: I really like how they referred to CI as a "shared Mindset" in the monograph. Seeing the value of CI is important #yrdsbtalk

NMPSRoom106 Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 Shared belief that we are all better together! #yrdsbtalk

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@cgu92 read my mind - just mentioned the importance of developing & maintaining a growth mindset - we are all learners #yrdsbtalk

MsSchmidt_YR Mar 29 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Agreed! Co-learning is key & tapping in2 the strengths of others to push our thinking @S_Weyrich #yrdsbtalk

cgu92 Mar 29 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@S_Weyrich sounds like we are like-minded in our beliefs around CI. #yrdsbtalk

tracy_nct Mar 29 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: To have teachers, admins & parents work together to make essential decisions for the better education of our students! #yrdsbtalk

MsSchmidt_YR Mar 29 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@KCBOMBARD Likewise! A "shared mindset" promotes collaborative, common goals, & common understandings =impact Ss learning #yrdsbtalk

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@NMPSRoom106 so important! This helps enable the conditions for optimal learning #yrdsbtalk

Jodischatzky Mar 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

#yrdsbtalk interactive bulletin board displays others can add onto...

KCBOMBARD - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: Having all stakeholders take part in the different roles, having P or VP as co-teacher can be help to build safety #yrdsbtalk

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2: How does the learning from one group inform the learning of others? #yrdsbtalk

tracy_nct Mar 29 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@KCBOMBARD I think having P & VP as colearners also shows students that "we are all in this together!"#yrdsbtalk

NMPSRoom106 Mar 29 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Q2: One groups energy and excitement can create a domino effect #yrdsbtalk

MsSchmidt_YR Mar 29 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: Promotes discussion around what worked, what didn't work, what can our Ss do, where can we go next. #yrdsbtalk

NMPSRoom106 Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@tracy_nct @KCBOMBARD definitely shows that everyone is engaged in lifelong learning and taking risks #yrdsbtalk

MsSchmidt_YR Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@NMPSRoom106 Agreed! Learning is contagious :) #yrdsbtalk

KCBOMBARD - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: quote"collaborative inquiry becomes an integral part of how we work and learn together-“a do rather than a talk mode" #yrdsbtalk

LynnMacDonald Mar 29 @ 8:18 PM EDT

#yrdsbtalk A1: Structuring time for teachers, EA's, students, stakeholders to collaborate and giving frameworks such as SIP, 4C's to guide.

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@MsSchmidt_YR ongoing discussion = key! I think of the 3R's - repeat, remove, re-consider #yrdsbtalk

MsSchmidt_YR Mar 29 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@NMPSRoom106 I feel that those learning moments are the best and often where the most dialogue and new learning can emerge! #yrdsbtalk

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Q3: What do you feel are effective characteristics of professional learning? #yrdsbtalk

NMPSRoom106 Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@KCBOMBARD:article said, 'terms...[travel] well but...conceptualizing & thinking do not' CI brings terms to life #yrdsbtalk

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@KimPollishuke thx for dropping in tonight Kim! #yrdsbtalk

NMPSRoom106 Mar 29 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@MsSchmidt_YR agreed! Authenticity, interest, personal experience and engagement are key #yrdsbtalk

Jodischatzky Mar 29 @ 8:25 PM EDT

#yrdsbtalk being open-minded, taking initiative, and accepting criticism and learning and improving from it

KimPollishuke Mar 29 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2: sharing along the way - not just at the end - is key. Share where we went wrong so others see that progress isn't perfect #yrdsbtalk

NMPSRoom106 Mar 29 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@S_Weyrich @MsSchmidt_YR so true! As leaders in our classrooms, schools and system MUST advocate for ALL voices #yrdsbtalk

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@KimPollishuke focusing on the process is very valuable #yrdsbtalk

KimPollishuke Mar 29 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: establish what the learners want to learn - empathy is crucial - PL has to be relevant for it to be meaningful. #yrdsbtalk

MmeChinACPS Mar 29 @ 8:27 PM EDT

#yrdsbtalk are we not all basically talking about what we'd like for our Ss to do too??

KCBOMBARD - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3:In order for professional learning to be effective, educators need to see how change will make an impact in their class/role #yrdsbtalk

NMPSRoom106 Mar 29 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@KimPollishuke when we share along the way we show that our course is flexible and responsive to learners! #yrdsbtalk

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@KimPollishuke how does it impact my program, student learning & pedagogy? #yrdsbtalk

CarigliaBull Mar 29 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: listening as learning as we work towards a common goal (what's the next best step for our students?) #yrdsbtalk

LynnMacDonald Mar 29 @ 8:28 PM EDT

#yrdsbtalk A2: CI permits teachers to reflect on the results of their inquiry and gives them an opportunity to get feedback from others.

MsSchmidt_YR Mar 29 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@KCBOMBARD Agreed. It needs to be practical & meaningful & also provide entry points for all professional learners. #yrdsbtalk

KCBOMBARD - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@MmeChinACPS Yes I think so, but sometimes we ask Ss to do things that we may not be willing to do ourselves. We need to change 2 #yrdsbtalk

KimPollishuke Mar 29 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@MmeChinACPS I agree. PL 4 Ts should take on many of the same characteristics as learning 4 Ss. Innovative, flexible, experential #yrdsbtalk

NMPSRoom106 Mar 29 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@MmeChinACPS reciprocal learning occurs for staff and students when we engage in CI! #yrdsbtalk

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3: As stated in the monograph – effective PL is learner-directed & research supported – engage in areas of emerging need #yrdsbtalk

tracy_nct Mar 29 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3: Being able to collaborate on ideas & conversations, being mindful of different learners & open to constructive criticism #yrdsbtalk

A4: as stated in monograph: "activity focused on students, student thinking and student demonstrations of understanding" #yrdsbtalk

Hey #yrdsbtalk Sorry I am so late - catching up now. Looks some amazing discussion about System Leaders and Collaborative Inquiry!

KCBOMBARD - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: When i participated in CI as co-teacher in my classroom, it helped me in setting the direction of where to go next with Ss #yrdsbtalk

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@MsSchmidt_YR agreed! Non-judgmental mindset - engaging in actions to put into practice #yrdsbtalk

jeffreyborsuk Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: It needs to be meaningful and engaging to Ss. Consider allowing them freedom to select topic. Collaboration may be with Ss. #yrdsbtalk

KimPollishuke Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: I'm doing some learning on design thinking in edu - absolutely about student thinking and demonstration of understanding #yrdsbtalk

LynnMacDonald Mar 29 @ 8:39 PM EDT

#yrdsbtalk A4: Determine urgent need, hypothesize, plan, implement plan, examine data, revise - similar to scientific method.

KCBOMBARD - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@KCBOMBARD I wish it could happen more often as I would sometimes get stuck in what next steps should be but no CI group to ask. #yrdsbtalk

S_Weyrich - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@KCBOMBARD agreed! Very valuable experience #yrdsbtalk

A4: “ CI promotes, cultivates & supports deep thinking and efficacy for all” - stated from monograph #yrdsbtalk

MmeChinACPS Mar 29 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@KCBOMBARD agreed! Finding other Ts who share that CI sentiment can be difficult #buyin #yrdsbtalk

learnwithmsm Mar 29 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@Jodischatzky So important to be surrounded by people who support & encourage mistakes too! #yrdsbtalk
