In this year-long learning experience, teachers will engage in a research-based process to promote instructional growth and equity in the classroom. Educators will have an opportunity to reflect on their practice, generate questions regarding efficacy, gather data through observations, and receive feedback to promote new understandings and new practices. A version of instructional rounds, this model centers our students who are most marginalized, be it due to access, ethnicity, gender, or other dimensions of identity or experience, in pursuit of greater equity in our practice.

LEARNING GOALS

Participants will:

• Explore their unique learning environment in a new way that helps generate salient questions that promote growth
• Understand how to identify their most marginalized learners in pursuit of greater equity in the classroom
• Practice refining questions to elevate teaching using tools and data
• Experience a community of practice and a cycle of instructional rounds, including gathering, providing and receiving feedback
• Learn strategies for processing and utilizing non-evaluative peer feedback to highlight one’s strengths as a teacher and develop new strategies for classroom teaching that center students

AUDIENCE

• Teachers who seek a growth experience in a community of practice to operationalize equity work and allow it to take root in measurable ways
• Small cohorts (rather than single participants) from participating schools are encouraged, but not required
