This Teaching & Learning professional learning opportunity will provide content, material, and strategies to assist educators in meeting the needs of students in their district.
Every day, teachers make thousands of decisions: what content to teach, what activities to assign, who to call on, how to respond to a student question, how to react to student behavior. These day-to-day decisions can have an enormous effect on the lives of young people, for good and ill. They can open new doors or cause lasting harm; they can make students feel seen and valued, or dampen their interest in school. This session, based on research from MIT and Vanderbilt University, will help leaders plan cycles of collaborative research and practice, coaching teams of teachers (in Professional Learning Communities or other common planning time) to become more equitable educators. Using the job-embedded Texas Lesson Study (TXLS) professional development framework, educators will intentionally develop mindsets and instructional habits that lead to greater success for all students. This learning experience is a virtual event and will not be hosted at a physical site.
