Learning Academy Description & Facilitators Resources Room
1.  Instructional Coherence: Collective Norming on the Core Rubric

In service of our vision that each and every child receives the high quality instruction they deserve, we will spend our time in this session engaging in the Core Rubric “Core Norming” Process. You can become Core Normed by accurately rating an instructional video using the TNTP Core Rubric 5 times. We will guide you through this process, and you’ll have a chance to calibrate and discuss with colleagues around how you might rate the instruction and why, and what high leverage feedback you might offer to the teacher.

Agenda 340
2.  Instructional Coherence: Deeper Learning Framework

In this session, we will make meaning of the question What is Deeper Learning? and understand our equity whys for Deeper Learning. School leaders will have time to connect the dots between SFUSD’s Core Rubric, Deeper Learning Framework, Graduate Profile, and their site vision, goals, and plans for the upcoming school year. Over the course of the school year, we will work together to be able to identify, create, and reflect on Deeper Learning experiences at our schools and develop an understanding of student experiences of Deeper Learning to grow best practices to uplift student agency and voice at individual schools and together across our district.

Emma Dunbar, Han Phung, MS LEAD, Heidi Avelina Smith

3. Guardrail 3a: How to Maximize the Elementary Instructional Guides to Improve Teaching & Learning

 

Elementary site leaders and central office leaders connected to instruction - come learn how to bring the Instructional Guides to life to improve teaching and learning in your school! Participants will get to know the purpose and architecture of the guides, learn how Deeper Learning is woven into the guidance, have time to discover timely resources available for new and veteran teachers, and consider how to best utilize the guides for educator learning, coaching, teacher collaboration, and site PD.

4. Instructional Coherence:  Essential Content/Academic Ownership

In this Learning Academy, site leaders and central office leaders will engage in activities to explore, discuss and practice observing how elements of Deeper Learning are enacted in the implementation of Essential Content that activates student Academic Ownership. Leaders will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding through the unpacking of standards, practice how to look for these Core rubric elements in teaching and learning, assess their staff’s capacity to align their instruction, and plan how to introduce or deepen instructional practices in SY2023-24.

In this session, we will roll up our sleeves and gain skills and practice in observing instruction and engaging in high quality feedback conversations with teachers in order to shift teacher practice, and ultimately the achievement and experience for Black and Brown students in our schools.
