Disrupt Your Orbital Velocity with Inquiry
(Snowy Egret)
Theresa Axford [email protected]
What do Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong and British Columbia have in Common? They are top performers in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and they use “Inquiry” as the embedded professional learning model in their schools. In this session, you will learn why inquiry can help teachers achieve the goals that they have for student achievement and professional learning along with the value it can have for sharing best practices and innovations across the school and the district.
2 Data Analysis in the
Inquiry-Oriented PLC (Long)
Nancy Dana [email protected]
Data analysis is one of the most complex components of PLC work. In this session, participants will review the process of data analysis and observe a PLC analyzing data “in action” through participation in a reader’s theatre. We’ll debrief the experience together, exploring the important role data analysis plays in job-embedded professional learning, and discuss practical strategies as well as challenges inherent in facilitating data analysis as a professional development leader.

Most Accomplished Practitioners
(Citrus/Glades)
Sam Foerster [email protected]
Participants will interact with data visualizations that reveal the Florida classrooms, schools, and districts where world-class learning opportunities were in evidence in 2015-16. Additionally, participants will learn how the K12 Collaborative will be helping district administrators, principals, and teachers discover and apply the know-how used by Florida’s most accomplished practitioners to implement the critical shifts in content, pedagogy, and student work necessitated by the Florida Standards.

Teacher Preparation for Next Generation
Teachers: Alternative Isn’t Alternative
Anymore (Blue Heron)

This session will provide opportunities for participants to engage in collaborative discussions regarding options of FL teacher preparation routes.

Language to Foster Growth Mindset
(Banyan)
Becky Finn, Jennifer Michaels,
Allison Kanji [email protected]

A teacher’s language and mindset impacts their actions. A teacher’s actions impact a student’s mindset. A student’s mindset impacts their performance. Person First Language is about respect and dignity and it puts the person – not the condition – first. Participants will understand the influence of language on mindset and will learn how to formulate feedback that activates/bolsters a growth mindset in learners

Professional Learning (Jasmine/Palm)
Joanna Johnson [email protected]

Whether your professional learning design is a workshop, job-embedded coaching, or a virtual platform, we’ll share some resources to help increase the effectiveness of the learning and implementation. No matter your rank, feel free to come aboard and join us as we boldly go where no breakout session has gone before!

Induction and Mentoring (Banyan)
Logan Johnson [email protected]
Lindsey Hampton [email protected]
Effective teaching is not intuitive. New teachers, whether they come to the classroom as a second career or directly from a teacher education program, all need support. Effective induction programs provide teachers with an opportunity to learn and grow as part of a learning community. The MCPS Educator Induction program offers new and early career teachers the chance to grow professionally through collaboration, modeling of exemplary practices, and differentiation of support based on experience and interests, using a multi-year induction program. The key to student achievement is effective teaching. Come see how Marion County is growing effective teachers.
10 Impact
(Citrus/Glades)
Shane Fairbairn
Jennifer Rivera [email protected]
What is impact and how does it differ from implementation? In this session, participants will engage with the facilitators to explore how to use existing PL to create deep and meaningful levels of implementation based on the research and practical practice by NEFEC. Participants will reflect on how they currently approach the "after and between PL" and make connections on how to improve or enhance educators' implementation of learning. Regardless of what you use, this session will ignite a spark in your context.

The Planning Period and Beyond. . . (Snowy Egret)
Seth Edwards [email protected]
Andrea Pyatt [email protected]
Journey into the far-reaches of educational space in search of time for quality, job-embedded, collaborative professional learning. As we strive to revitalize learning experiences for the modern teacher through multi-modal and more personalized options, underlying questions remain:
Do teachers even have time for professional learning?
What strategies are districts using to find time?
How can collaborative time become meaningful, personalized PD? In this collaborative action lab, we will share best-practices and explore potential scenarios to help leaders create conditions—during the school day—for teachers to learn from one another, access the PD they need in real-time, and ultimately, do their best work.
D Engagement Strategies
That Can Be Used in Your Next PD
(Tarpon)
Megan Kendrick Beth Hofer
As we move away from the sit-and-get model of professional development, it is always nice to have a tool box of strategies and routines that can be used and adapted to fit ANY professional development. This session will model community building activities and thinking routines that will foster creativity and promote collaboration across the audience.
Participants will also be asked to share effective strategies that have worked for them and share them with the group so we can add to our virtual toolbox and continue to learn from each other!
