Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo Do Now: On your own, reflect on a PD session you planned and led.  What went well?  What didn’t go well?  WHY? (3 minutes)

Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo Leading Adult PD: THE “LIVING THE LEARNING” FRAMEWORK  Airtight Activities  Sharing  Framing  Reflection  Applying

Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo Living the Learning:  Design airtight activities that lead participants to the right conclusions with minimal re-directing  Facilitate substantive sharing time that allows participants to draw the conclusion from the activity  Frame the participants’ conclusions with the formal vocabulary of the associated principles so that participants share one common language  Provide ample opportunities for participants to reflect and to apply their learning in simulated and real-world experiences

Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo “LIVING THE LEARNING” FRAMEWORK: AA S R F A Leading Adult PD:

Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo Comparison of Three Approaches to Adult PD: ComponentLecture (Sage on Stage) Guided Practice (I do, we do, you do) Living the Learning (AA, R, S, F, A) Format  Formal presentation on core principles  Question & Answer  I do: Formal presentation on core principles  We do: Shared presenter- participant activity modeling the core principles  You do: Application: try it on your own  Activity sparks learning  Facilitated Sharing  Framing: formal language around participants’ sharing  Reflection  Application: put it into practice Approx. Leader Talk 90-95%40-50%15-30% Learning Beliefs We learn best by listening to the expert on the topic We learn best by listening to the expert and then having a chance to apply it We learn best by generating the knowledge through experience and then applying it to our context LimitationAdults retain 5- 10% of what they hear Leader does the heavy cognitive work: participants imitate but don’t build their own conclusions, limiting investment & retention Requires precisely built activities that lead to the proper conclusions; takes far more time to plan & more work to facilitate

Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo CORE IDEA If you want to get good at a skill, you have to implement it yourself. Participants – not the presenter – need to do the heavy lifting in a workshop.

Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo Four Common Airtight Activities:  Video Clips of Teaching/Learning  Movie Clips  Case Studies (written)  Role Plays/Simulations (acted)

Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo Airtight Activities, Part I – Video Clips:  What are all the actions Aja takes in leading the session?  What does she do in order to teach her objective effectively?

Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo Airtight Activities, Part I – Video Clips:  During her PD workshop, what does Aja do after showing a video clip?

Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo Video Clips – How to Use Them Effectively:  Precise Question(s)  Keep Video Clips Short  Follow Video Clips with a Think- Pair-Share (R-S)

Based on Leverage Leadership by Paul Bambrick- Santoyo Reflection – Core Principles: Keep it Brief Most participants only need 1-3 minutes to reflect on a given topic Have a Place to Write Provide participants with a colorful handout where they can record all reflections
