Don't Ever Stop

Dave stoll what do you think about this?

I love this! ❤

Oh....

This is the best omelette presentation ever! 😮❤️

So excited to start training trainers in the district we’ve been working in. Their enthusiasm for learners is contagious! We will be conducting “We do” training with them for early adopters later in the week! We are “peas in a pod”!

From Kindergarten to 5th grade continuation! Kiara had 3 wonderful girl friends in her class since 3rd grade in “a sea of boys” as she said in her speech! On to Middle School! ❣️❣️❣️❣️

Just spent a wonderful 4 days with a collaborative junior high staff who are ready to implement a Personalized Mastery approach to improve the learning for their students!

Had a great introductory dinner with our Personalized Mastery trainers! Woo Hoo!

Merry Christmas to the wonderful staff we have worked with this year! Enjoy a restful holiday! Looking forward to more adventures in 2023!

Just had an incredible week at a high school working so hard to implement a personalized mastery system! They are ensuring their curriculum maps are aligned to the state’s test priority standards and taught prior to the summative test. Completed the training with the remaining staff on the concepts of our book. Learning facilitators wrote next steps to engage their learners. Visited classrooms implementing these concepts to provide celebrations and support for their next implementation. They are only 10 weeks into this approach. Starting to highlight staff who are early adopters through video taping their practice and testimonials.

On our last trip, we helped align the school between what was being taught and assessed. When a school’s scores are below 50% proficient and advanced, it probably is a curriculum alignment issue. We found that the district had not aligned their curriculum to a Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum (GVC). They have identified their priority standards that they will ensure all learners master prior to the assessment. One issue is that they will need to remediate some of the background knowledge and skills prior to being able to acces the grade level standard. Our proficiency ladders are helping to identify the scaffolding that may need to occur once the learning facilitators (teachers) have pre-assessed where each learner needs to begin their learning!

Seeing great leading indicators of good things to come! Discipline is down, learners are taking interim assessments, curriculum is being align to the rigor of the state standards, and morale is up! Staff is having fun with the SOPs! 😝

So excited! Just conducted a 3-day training with 17 learning facilitators and 5 leaders. They are truly about to embark on a journey that provides voice and choice for incoming 9th grade learners to achieve mastery!

Just had 2 wonderful days facilitating a retreat with an admin team who are reflecting on their past year, planning for next year based on setting goals with the most impact! Planning for early adopter training and inter-tater reliability session for our next visit!

World Cafe!

Had a great World Cafe today with a group of K-12 administrators who are working to hone their skills on their new teacher evaluation process! So fun to work with people who are eager to get better for the benefit of their students’ learning!

We are loving our work to create a Personalized Mastery system at a school that is eager to do better for their learners! ❤️ when all the planets start to align !
