#atplc A1 lesson design done collaboratively, plans instruction to meet the needs of all Ss, breaking down obj, activities to engage

dgalvancu Nov 10 @ 9:08 PM EST

Lesson design is not an easy task, working together allows work to be spread out to others and not just one person. #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:09 PM EST

RT Q1 Why is lesson design a critical part of the work of a PLC? #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1 Real learning happens when students are persistent, participants in meaningful work. This type of work requires design. #atplc

inspire0818 Nov 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1. The lesson design should promote many opportunities for collaboration amongst colleagues and Ss. #atplc

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

#atplc A1 design lesson based on Ss prior knowledge, to scaffold instruction, assessment integrated & reviewed collaboratively, collaborat

WinkelerD Nov 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: it helps you and fellow Ts come up with ways to teach the curriculum to the Ss. Make sure there are no gaps in the lessons. #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

Q2 Coming up in 1 minute #atplc

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

#atplc A1 lesson design should give Ss a chance to assess their learning, ownership of learning

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

So true, designing engaging work is a collaborative effort. The PLC model is a perfect environment for design work. #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

Q2 How is Designing Engaging Work in a PLC model different from Lesson Planning? How does your PLC collaborate to design engaging wk? #atplc

inspire0818 Nov 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1. I think the design also encourages reflection and opportunity to look and learn from S work. #atplc

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

#atplc A1 lesson design done collaboratively, & using vertical info allows Ts to fill in gaps, reduce redundancy

WinkelerD Nov 10 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2: two or more brains are better than one. You can come up with deeper thinking Qs, activities,C worksheets, and tests. #atplc

inspire0818 Nov 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2. Traditional = Alone and PLC = Team. When PLC plans, all Ss needs are met, so that it's engaging and differentiated for the class. #atplc

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:18 PM EST

#atplc A2 design lesson based on assessments, informal/formal formative allow Ts to design strategies that engage address misconceptions

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2 Designing engaging work begins with knowing your learners: what makes them tick, their prior knowledge, what they need to engage. #atplc

WinkelerD Nov 10 @ 9:19 PM EST

helps you ensure you meet all Ss. Gives you the ability to differentiate the lessons and activities. #atplc

In reply to @inspire0818

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

#atplc A2 collaborative planning engages Ts, creates a community of learners, engaged Ts= engaged Ss

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2 Lesson planning is a convergent activity. Designing engaging work is divergent & inventive. #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:23 PM EST

Q3 Coming up in 1 minute #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2. Designing engaging work means prototyping, considering different iterations based on the needs of the learners. #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:24 PM EST

Q3 How do you ensure that what’s designed leads students to think critically & create vs consume & regurgitate information? #atplc

WinkelerD Nov 10 @ 9:24 PM EST

Ss love when you model what you want them to do. #atplc

In reply to @VealHeidi

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:24 PM EST

Yes, it requires teachers/designers deeply know the needs, learning preferences & instructional level of S’s. #atplc

In reply to @WinkelerD, @inspire0818

Ben_educating Nov 10 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3) Developing authentic tasks that gives Ss an audience besides just the T will help & motivate #atplc

inspire0818 Nov 10 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3. Design engaging/creative assessments/projects, so Ss can apply what they've learned. #atplc

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:26 PM EST

#atplc A3 Ss allow to develop questions, learner centered, Ts guide instruction, learning environment where mistakes r ok, Ss find answers

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

RT Q3 How do you ensure that what’s designed leads students to think critically & create vs consume & regurgitate information? #atplc

WinkelerD Nov 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3: I put myself in the Ss shoes and ask myself what I would do if I were a student receiving this information. #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3 The 1st step is to remember that it's ALWAYS about the s’s, NEVER about what is best for the adults. #atplc #kidsdeserveit

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

#atplc A3 essential questions guide instructional activities, culminating in authentic final products, multiple objectives addressed

inspire0818 Nov 10 @ 9:29 PM EST

A3. Centers, conferencing, Exit Tickets, small group tasks to demonstrate learning #atplc

Ben_educating Nov 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

It's always great to get input from Ss. They will create some great & tough questions. #atplc

In reply to @DebbieDkenyon

WinkelerD Nov 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

nor is it about the test scores. It's about the knowledge gained throughout the process. #atplc

In reply to @VealHeidi

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:31 PM EST

#atplc A3 lots of application & inquiry, turn objective into a question, what do Ss need to be able to do to attain objective

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:33 PM EST

Q4 When designing engaging work, how do you personalize learning experiences to support mastery for all students? #atplc

WinkelerD Nov 10 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4: I find a variety of ways to present the material and have a variety of ways for Ss to respond. Differentiate! #atplc

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:35 PM EST

#atplc A4 Ss have choice in application/products, used Tic Tac Toe matrix of options for S, choice gives Ss room to be creative/ personal

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:35 PM EST

So true Dan. Testable knowledge is typically superficially held. #atplc

In reply to @WinkelerD

inspire0818 Nov 10 @ 9:36 PM EST

Q4. Was tweeting earlier...PLC using data, using each colleague's expertise to reach all Ss' needs. #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:36 PM EST

Choice is a powerful design quality for learners of all ages from PreK to adult learners. #atplc

In reply to @DebbieDkenyon

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:37 PM EST

RT Q4 When designing engaging work, how do you personalize learning experiences to support mastery for all students? #atplc

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:37 PM EST

#atplc A4 leave the "A" column of rubric blank.. Ss options in activities & room to grow/strive for the mastery, rubric= coaching not grade

Ben_educating Nov 10 @ 9:37 PM EST

A4) Need to give Ss voice & choice then they will take more ownership in their learning. It also personalizes it #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4 It starts by knowing your who & designing for the way S's learn. Not my preferences for how I want to teach. #itsnotaboutme #atplc

Ben_educating Nov 10 @ 9:39 PM EST

Great minds is all I can say. Also, means it's great for students. #atplc

Ben_educating Nov 10 @ 9:41 PM EST

Great reminder! Get to know your students. Build relationships & adapt your teaching to them. Not whats easiest or always been done. #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4 It starts by knowing your who & designing for the way S's learn. Not my preferences for how I want to teach. #itsnotaboutme #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

Q5 What risks are you currently taking as an educator as a result of designing work with a PLC? What practices are impacted? #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4 Think about What product might s's produce/create that calls them to work w your content? That’s the design challenge! #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:45 PM EST

Designin & Planning are DIFFERENT: Design involves divergent thinking. Planning is a convergent act. #atplc

DebbieDkenyon Nov 10 @ 9:45 PM EST

#atplc A5 trust w/ colleagues when lessons fail, "how did u teach that" learning together to meet Ss needs, don't be isolated, team

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:45 PM EST

A5. Flipping the paradigm from, “I taught ___.” to “What evidence is there that s’s learned ___.” #atplc

RT Q5 What risks are you currently taking as an educator as a result of designing work with a PLC? What practices have been impacted? #atplc

inspire0818 Nov 10 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5. PLC work isn't risky, but has provided many new ways to plan teach Ss. Several Ts supporting S academic needs. #atplc

VealHeidi Nov 10 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5 I didn’t teach until there is evidence of student learning. #atplc
