District direction: Striving for one year of growth for one year of school. We are looking to effectively implement some of the top yielding instructional strategies. Some such strategies might be, but are not limited to: effective feedback, modeled examples of excellence, quick formative assessments (checks for understanding), discussion and questioning, modeling, active engagement of students(synonymous to kids being visible learners). All these strategies build upon teacher clarity. John Hattie's research being the guide as to what strategies work best in education.
District focus area is around teacher clarity and student clarity. This clarity around learning can be measured by asking students during class visits, and/or by asking teachers. ("What are you learning ? How are you going in your learning? Where to next?"). The ultimate goal is develop visible learners through this clarity - students that can own their own learning, and are actively involved in their learning. Such ownership can quadruple their own learning.
Professional development is one main vehicle to develop the necessary knowledge and skills for effective collaboration and for effective executive of the high leverage strategies. High functioning collaboration and high-leverage instruction can yield substantial gains in student growth and achievement.
The other district focus is "know thy impact": Regular monitoring of our impact through various data points to both affirm our direction and to guide our continued instruction.
Along with a focus around these high-leverage instructional practices, Konocti is looking to adopt a language arts textbook K-12 for next fall. Konocti is possibly also looking to adopt a math textbook, K -7. These are viable resources to support teachers in their quality instructional delivery. April
