Living on a mountain – or

- 1. Collaboration Counts! Working Together to Create Powerful Learning Environments that Include ALL Kids Crosscurrents Conference Friday, March 2nd, 2012 Faye Brownlie www.slideshare.net
- 2. Professional Collaboration • Interac<ve and on-‐going process • Mutually agreed upon challenges • Capitalizes on different exper<se, knowledge and experience • Roles are blurred • Mutual trust and respect • Create and deliver targeted instruc<on • GOAL: beLer meet the needs of diverse learners
- 3. Goal: to support students in working effec<vely in the classroom environment
- 4. Rationale: By sharing our collec<ve knowledge about our classes of students and developing a plan of ac<on based on this, we can beLer meet the needs of all students.
- 5. A Key Belief Interven<on is focused on classroom support. Classroom-‐based interven<on does NOT mean that all specialists have to be in the classroom all the <me. Instead, the RESULTS of their work have to show up in the classroom.

- 11. How the world’s most improved school systems keep gecng beLer – McKinsey, 2010 Three changes collabora<ve prac<ce brought about: 1. Teachers moved from being private emperors to making their prac<ce public and the en<re teaching popula<on sharing responsibility for student learning. 2. Focus shiged from what teachers teach to what students learn. 3. Systems developed a model of ‘good instruc<on’ and teachers became custodians of the model. (p. 79-‐81)

My Thinking? •You can grow rice in the mountains. •How is the water power? •People of the Andes grow coffee and •Were does the water come from? corn on the lower slopes of the mountains •How does it get in to the rocky mountains? •People grow rice using terracing. •How does all the wood get to the trees? You raised some really good questions from this book. Now •Would all the food they grow freeze? that I learned that your grandmother was a farmer on the #My Grandma grew potatoes on the flat plains, do you think she would grounds. It was easer cuz on a mountain ever use the method of terracing?! your on a slant. My Granny was on a flat ground.
