3. The Transformational Team committed to rotating attendance at the five-part PD series included: Nell O’Malley, Elizabeth White, Stacey Lee, Rynda Gregory, Sara Wright, Felicia Reid-Metoyer The series allowed us to spend team time increasing diversity and cultural competence as we integrate EdTPA, INTASC Standards and the new licensure framework into our programs. We added the Summer Institute early in the series as a planning goal and a way to apply our learning.

4. Based on our time in the PD series, we have committed to the following: Use CRT activities to anchor EdTPA and ELP Standards development across licensure programs throughout all upcoming PD (Summer Institute and beyond). Offer a 2015 Summer Institute for our local field partners to further CRT in academic language development in schools and teacher preparation. Choose learning goals for 2015-16 asking Summer Institute participants to focus on one Common Core goal and track CRT development through a pre and post assessment (September and June). Infuse CRT into planned EdTPA PD for Licensure Faculty 2015-16

5. June 17 & 18, 2015 Enacted teaching broadened focus to include Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT), Academic Language Development and STEAM learning for LEAP Participants Shorter experience (than 2014) targeted for limited geographic area Included guest speaker/specialists including Dr. Jeff Zwiers on Academic Language, CRT and ELP Standards Reunited LEAP students with LSAMP mentors Set goals for 2015-16 data collection through focus on one common core goal progression September - June.
