15. #ModelSchools Facilitators Lens  Facilitator Guide – developed to help strengthen PLC data discussions  “Look Fors” Productive Features Cautions

16. #ModelSchools How Does Teacher Talk Affect the Process?

17. #ModelSchools Prior Research  Nuanced Talk (Jansen & Spitzer, 2009)  Generalized Talk – broad claims (Nelson, Slavit, & Deuel, 2012)  Blanket Statements – “Get it” or “Don’t get it.” (Otero, 2006)

32. #ModelSchools What we noticed… Needs that are beyond (academic) content Lack of opportunity and motivation because of circumstance, background School-wide inconsistencies Gap between teachers, students, and community More to our students’ behavior than discipline data tracks Students in poverty rely on consistency, positive relationships Implementation at the building-level ensures all students are held to same expectations What we learned…

33. #ModelSchools Our reasons, your reasons Turn and talk: What are your school’s current policies and practices that address school safety and student behavior?
