Nobody wants to waste time. As a leader we must help tell the stories that share the why for the change! #MoED24

Thank you @PeterMDeWitt for spending time with our class tonight!
“Anxiety diminishes self efficacy.”
It’s important to focus on the conversations around learning that come from observations rather than the formal score.

Thank you Peter Dewitt for this reminder

“Without data you’re just another person with an opinion.” ~ W. Edward’s Deming

As instructional leaders how do we ensure we are using data to backup our decisions and goals?

Addressing resistance to change:
1. Explain the Why
2. Build Trust
3. Explain How
4. Accountability

It’s important to get everyone on board to ensure all Ss are receiving equitable education. Student learning and well-being is first and foremost.

Students worked on and shared what they believe, what staff could expect from them and what they would expect of staff. Important to define this and share. These beliefs should also drive many answers in interviews. #ucmoedlead #UCMOTeachRed

Tonight we had a fun and engaging activity to spark a conversation around keeping priorities a priority.

“The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing” @BryanMcDonaldPD

Students digging into the Missouri Learning Standards and Priority Standards. Then identifying potentially challenging vocabulary. Finishing up with review of item analysis and blueprints. Making all the connections. #ucmoedlead #UCMOTeachRed.

[Lilly Root @root_lilly]

As a building leader, it is important to prioritize being an instructional leader. I enjoyed brainstorming ways this can be done with my CPPP colleagues.

Using data to review curriculum efficacy is a powerful tool. What data do you use to review curriculum? How do you determine if the challenge lies within curriculum efficacy or teacher efficacy? What are your next steps as an admin? @BryanMcDonaldPD
#ucmoedlead

[Lilly Root @root_lilly]

Some really great themes in this podcast. A principal’s greatest impact on student learning is through teacher efficacy. How are you making collaboration time WITH teachers a priority on your schedule? @BryanMcDonaldPD

MIND FRAME 7: “I engage as much in dialogue as in monologue.”

How do you create a space for meaningful conversations to occur between you and your staff? @BryanMcDonaldPD

As an administrator, how do you connect your school’s and district’s vision and mission to the following:
- student learning
- curriculum
- instruction
- assessment
- professional learning
- relationships

@BryanMcDonaldPD
#ucmoedlead

[Lilly Root @root_lilly]

What does the process look like for identifying challenges in your building?

- What’s causing the challenges?
- What do we need to know more about to help solve that problem?
- What do we do next?

Thank you @BryanMcDonaldPD for these solution oriented questions!

After reviewing data, the necessary question to ask is, “What are some implications for your school’s continuous improvement plan?”

A night in Data Analysis class practicing an interview question and looking at different types of data from a school. #ucmoedlead

[Lilly Root @root_lilly]

Making data a part of PLC time is important, but it is crucial to discuss what changes will occur in the classroom to support the takeaways from the data analysis. @BryanMcDonaldPD

Enjoyed a guest panel tonight in CPPP. Loved hearing from active principals and how they use all types of data in their buildings. My favorite quote of the night, “Be student driven and data supported.” @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead
