Some Guiding Principles The focus of Summer Institutes is to answer this guiding question: How does “your content/topic” help a teacher improve their practice? How do teachers know the students learned it? We are working to Change Teacher Practice in order to Change Student Outcomes. Content for all sessions will be housed on one wikispace. Pre-work for participants is strongly encouraged. Mid-March: Webinar Series developed for Summer Institute participants (or Team Lead) Common Themes throughout all sessions: Home Base, Standards 1- 6, Dufour questions, Universal Design for Learning, Guskey’s model of evaluating PD

More Guiding Principles Objectives for each session are critical. Clearly defining what the participant will learn and experience is extremely important. Therefore, fine tuning the title of a session is an option, but sure leadership will have to approve any proposed adjustments. Home Base must be woven into every session (although there is one Design Studio dedicated to Home Base). Online Modules should be woven into every session (where appropriate)as well. Design Team Leads are leading your teams. You are instrumental in moving the work forward, ensuring the timelines are met, and being informed about what is happening. As the team lead, you are empowered to carry things out. A rubric will be provided to support the development of your content

Something to Think About Would your topic lend itself to blend a virtual opportunity within the presentation? (We are exploring options for this summer)

How to Proceed Contact your planning/design team (in the next week) Introduce yourself Describe the work Establish a plan to get it accomplished Design and prepare the session (ongoing) Use the Planning Wiki Participate in Team Leader Sessions Determine who will facilitate (East and West) Participate in session review (aka.

Session Planning What is important for participants to know and be able to do? How will you engage them in the learning? Craft a brief description of the session. What materials and resources will you need? What roles will your team members play?
