4. SI 2013 – PLANS (STILL) UNDERWAY! “Summer Institute is not about just [curriculum] content, rather the work of the agency” FOCUS: Building Leadership Capacity to Change Teacher Practice and Change Student Outcomes We are thinking differently about the overall structure Choice LEA/Charter School involvement More facilitation, less direct training Integrated content – topic-based Greater integration of technology

5. MISSION This year’s Summer Institute will build on the knowledge and skills learned from previous Institutes with a focus on building district- and school-level leadership capacity to improve teacher practice and student outcomes. To accomplish this, the collective agency will provide a hands- on, highly engaging, two-day professional development experience that supports the transition to the new NC Standard Course of Study, the North Carolina Educator Evaluation System (NCEES), the State Accountability System, with an emphasis on Data Literacy. NCDPI will also feature an introduction to Home Base, NC’s statewide instructional improvement (IIS) and student information system (SIS) for teachers, students, parents, and administrators. VISION NCDPI will collaborate with district and school leaders through cross-agency design teams to facilitate group discussions, model best practices and intentionally make connections to each of the state initiatives utilizing technology and collaborative processes. GOALS  Facilitate collaboration and district planning between LEAs/Charter Schools to ensure statewide success  Build interdependence among the LEAs and Schools within a region and across the state  Model the alignment and interconnectedness of the collective work of the agency so districts can make the same connections locally MISSION, VISION AND GOALS OF SUMMER INSTITUTE 2013 DRAFT 12-5-12

15. SOME GUIDING PRINCIPLES 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. Common Themes throughout all sessions: Home Base, Standards 1-6, DuFour questions, Universal Design for Learning, Guskey’s model of evaluating PD, online modules 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 leadership will have to approve any proposed adjustments.

16. HOME BASE Home Base must be woven into every session (although there is one Design Studio dedicated to Home Base). Assessment Lesson Planning Resources Professional Development Educator Evaluation Report building Student Information

17. FACILITATED TEAM TIME Please allot time at the end of your sessions (both design and remodeling) for participants to reflect on your session. FTT will design the input mode and give to us soon. Please develop a section on your wiki page of top 3 resources. FTT will use this to build a piece for their afternoon session.

18. DESIGN STUDIO SESSIONS (3 HOURS) Sessions showcase broad initiatives Participants Pre-Loaded for focused work Inform with the wiki Flip Activities Participants reflect and collaborate within and across LEAs/Charters Participants engage in active learning focused on the topic Read Write Listen Speak Participants plan and strategize for carrying information back to the LEA/Charter Participants provide feedback on the session
