Dr. Darl Kiernan Lauren Torvinen SHIFTING THE NEGATIVE TO THE POSITIVE: LOCAL TEACHER HEROES ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

Tea Party

Today’s Objectives To share some of the encouraging and positive developments we have gathered in our work To encourage your sharing of positive development in your work To share and model some purposeful strategies To provide you with an opportunity to think about your own action steps

Struggling to be heard: Chapter 9 “Anyone attempting to change public education faces and uphill battle just to get his or her message heard. The institution is big and culturally entrenched. Most educators are overburdened.” What has led to the overburden?

Step 1: Shift your attention to the positive. “If we constantly choose to focus on the negative things that occur in our classrooms, our schools, and our district, then we become more negative. Conversely, when we choose to put our attention on the hopeful, encouraging, positive developments that occur within our schools, we become more positive.”

Essential Question How do we become more intentional with our use of effective literacy strategies and materials aligned to the CCSS, to foster more literate students?

College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity 10. Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.

These kids don’t read!

Why students don’t read what we assign m9RUr4ME

Your Turn What is one negative image that you would like to address in your setting? What is the first step in changing this negative perception?

Step 2: Stop badmouthing each other! Please turn to page 185. Stop and Say Something.

Stop badmouthing each other!

Your Turn What is your action step?

Step 3: Share your successes with the community This is really important information. I’d like clarification or elaboration. I knew this already.

Begin by defining your community

Student “It is a helpful class. I enjoyed it. This year was a lot easier because of this class. When I first came to this class I didn’t like to do anything like Reading or Writing. But thanks to Mrs. Z and Mrs. G. it’s my favorite thing to do when I’m in school. This class is very helpful.” (9 th grader)

Shared data during PLCs 11 th and 12 th graders who participated in the literacy support class showed more growth (53pts) than students who did not participate in the intervention (48pts) (average growth) Sample size= 106 students 64% increased their total spelling scores

Begin by defining your community

Administration I loved reading the student comments and am happy to see the students were able to understand their growth and how the Literacy Support class contributed to it. Thank you for all your efforts and positive energy this year. I believe both you and Lauren provided an environment where some of our teachers were able to overcome their anxiety working on something they never planned to have to do in a secondary school. For other teachers, it provided an opportunity to make a commitment to focus on what they understand is important; but may never have been able to devote the time because they were struggling with embedding it into their curriculum. Thank you so much!

Nevada Department of Education “ This specific design for early intervention at the high school level holds great promise. It holds the potential of providing a high quality model-not only for this local district, but for the entire nation.” Dr. Kevin Laxalt

Our community continues to

Your Turn Who is your community? What would you like to share? Where will you begin?

Step 4: Sustain the effort!
