Contribute to a learning environment in which it is “safe not to know.” ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Norms That Support Our Learning

  5. ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Parking Lot Let’s go back and see if questions were addressed…

  6. ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Equity • Equity isn’t giving every student the same thing; it’s giving every student what they need. It is about fairness. • Ensuring that all children – regardless of circumstance – are receiving high-quality and standards-aligned instruction is an equitable practice. • We want to ensure that standards-aligned instruction is causing the equitable practices needed to close the gaps caused by racism, bias, and poverty. • All week, we will explore our learning through that lens, and we will capture those moments visibly here in our room.

  7. ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Share Your Learning Don’t forget to jot down ideas for • Light bulb moments • Why I teach/lead

  18. ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Your Ideal Literacy Program Our Ideal Literacy Program

  19. Diagnosing the SystemFrom the work of Ronald Heifetz, Alexander Grashow, and Marty Linsky

  20. ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Diagnosing the System “The practice of leadership, like the practice of medicine, involves two core processes: diagnosis first and then action. And those two processes unfold in two dimensions: toward the organization or social system you are operating in and toward yourself … to lead effectively, you also have to examine and take action toward yourself in the context of the challenge.” Ronald Heifetz, Alexander Grashow, and Marty Linsky

  21. ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Being in the Dark

  22. ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Diagnosing the Adaptive Challenge “An adaptive challenge is one which the team may have no idea how to solve.” Adaptive challenges can only be addressed though shifts in people’s values, beliefs, behaviors, priorities, habits, and loyalties. Adaptive challenges require learning. “Technical problems have known solutions” that can be implemented by someone, somewhere. Not easy or unimportant; but the problem is well-defined. Technical problems require resources and expertise. “Problems do not always come neatly packaged as either adaptive or technical. Most problems come mixed, with the technical and adaptive aspects intertwined.” Ronald Heifetz, Alexander Grashow, Marty Linsky The Practice of Adaptive Leadership What does this theory about adaptive challenges and technical problems have to do with the Elephant in the Dark?

  23. ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Diagnosing Your System Use the Leadership Questions to compare the system you currently have at your school with the system listed. Plus Evidence – What evidence do you have your students are benefitting from this practice? Deltas – What changes or upgrades need to be made? Information – What information do you still need to answer these questions?

  24. Organizational Support and ChangeFrom the work of Thomas Guskey

  25. Prioritizing: What Do You Want to See? What do you want to SEE happening differently in classrooms for students in literacy?

ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES What do you want to SEE teachers and/or leaders doing differently in literacy? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

  26. ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Guskey—A Quick Primer 5. What impact did the reform have on students? Levels 4 & 5 can be only be determined back at school. • Did teachers incorporate the new knowledge and skills into practice? 3. Organizational Support and Change Levels 1 & 2 can be determined at the end of a session. 2. Did they acquire intended knowledge and skills? 1. Did they like it? Was it worthwhile? Was it relevant and delivered with quality?

  27. ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES Analyzing Level 3 Systems and Structures Leadership Support Policies and Procedures Systems and Structures for Student Learning Systems and Structures for Teachers 10 min.
