4. Attend all meetings and engage in the work. Begin on time, be prepared, and be personally accountable. End on time. Think, speak, and act in the best interests of students and the adults who support their development. Discuss issues, not people. Observe basic conversational courtesies. Listen attentively. Avoid side conversation. Assume best intentions and seek clarification when needed. Abide by group decisions and support those decisions with professional behavior. Keep cell phones silent and leave all non-emergency calls to attend to after meetings. Maintain a healthy humor, celebrate and laugh together.

5. I can communicate the vision/goals of the KVEC ISLN leadership team and their connection to Unbridled Learning: College and Career Readiness I can recognize the connection among the various networks I can deepen my knowledge of formative assessment as a process for increasing student learning within my school/district I can identify activities of the Teacher Leader Network and explain how I can support this work in my school/district

6. “Where there is no vision, the people perish. “ -Proverbs 29:1  “Vision is seeing a future state with the mind's eye. Vision is applied imagination. All things are created twice: first, a mental creation; second, a physical one”. Stephen Covey  "Most people live in a very restricted circle of their potential being. We all have reservoirs of energy and genius to draw upon of which do not dream.“ William James-  Imagination is more important than knowledge."-Albert Einstein-  "Thee lift me and I'll lift thee and we'll ascend together."-Quaker Proverb-

7.  Telephoto Lens-Where have we been? Use this lens to bring objects up close (leadership 2010/2011).  Wide Angle Lens-Where do we need to be in the future. Use this lens to capture the big picture (Vision).  Standard Lens-Where are we now? A normal human perspective (ISLN 2011/2012).

8. Kentucky’s Core Academic Standards Characteristics of Highly Effective Teaching and Learning Assessment/Assessment Literacy Leadership

9. The Kentucky Leadership Networks are designed to build the CAPACITY of teacher, school, and district leader teams to implement the Kentucky Core Academic Standards within the context of highly effective teaching, learning, and assessment practices. Through a focused approach targeting Assessment Literacy, KCAS, Characteristics of Highly Effective Teaching and Learning, and positional leadership competencies, the vision is to ensure that every district in the Commonwealth has a knowledgeable and skilled team that works to scale up effective practices so that every student experiences rich and engaging opportunities to learn every day in every classroom. As the emphasis is on building capacity, the expectation is that local leadership teams eventually assume the responsibility for facilitating learning throughout their district. All resources (print materials, protocols, powerpoints, etc.) will continue to be available electronically however regional content specialists will focus the bulk of their time on supporting new capacities in 2011-12.

10. Direct Facilitation for the Following to be Phased OUT in 2011-12 (by month): Deconstructing Standards process Gap Analysis Protocol Intro to “Unbridled Learning” (Senate Bill 1 Overview) Basic intro to Characteristics of Highly Effective Teaching and Learning Overview of Kentucky Core Academic Standards Intro to formative vs. summative assessment Basic Planning and Pacing Intro to Learning Targets

11. Direct Facilitation for the Following will be AVAILABLE in 2011-12 (by month): Content Focused Support: Math – number and algebraic thinking (Number  Functions) ELA – argument/writing CHETL Distinguishing Effective from Ineffective thru Authentic Examples Formative Assessment in Action Highly Effective Teaching and Learning in Action – Classroom Support - *Coaching in order to provide feedback to individual teachers on implementation of CHETL around KCAS (at request of teacher only-all feedback goes directly to teacher only—see Coaching/Feedback Protocol) FAL/LDC coaching in small groups (NOT large group training/presentations) Planning and Pacing

12. KEY: Content Specialists will be available – upon request by teacher leaders – to provide coaching/feedback support as LDC or Mathematics FALs are being implemented. The intent is ONLY to support teachers to grow in their skills (specifically Characteristics of Highly Effective Teaching and Learning) as they try out the tasks/lessons – NOT to be evaluative in any way. Content Specialists, too, will benefit from having opportunities to learn from the teacher leaders and their students as these tasks/lessons are implemented. PROTOCOL: 1.Teacher Leaders should request this support directly from the regional content specialist. 2.A specific “target” should be specified for the coaching visit (e.g., questioning to advance students’ thinking; facilitating students’ discussion; creating a risk-taking environment/facilitating and managing ‘productive struggle’ time, etc.). 3.The content specialist should focus on the target defined, taking descriptive notes of what is observed related to the target. 4.The content specialist should identify “stars and stairs” - commendations/clear examples of CHETL and suggestions for growth related to the target (one to three of each). 5.Teacher Leader and Content Specialist should engage in a conversation around the feedback. 6.All notes/feedback should remain in the hands of the Teacher Leader.

13. Changes include: 1. COMBINED School and District Leader network in each of the Education Cooperative regions. 2. The NEW combined “Instructional Support Leadership Networks” will meet for ½ days, 6 times during the academic year (prior to each of the content network meetings in Sept, Oct, Nov, Jan, Feb and March) and probably 1-2 full days each summer 3.The KDE Content Specialists assigned to each cooperative region will facilitate a significant portion of each of those meetings—making school and district leaders aware of what the teacher leaders will be doing monthly and focusing on how they can support the teacher leaders.
