PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Since We Last Met,
Life Has Been Like...
Since we last met, life has been like…. Choose a movie, song, or book title (to be given or they can choose their own). Must work with someone they have not been involved with in the process and is not in same school.

Some top choices in each media category if this helps (movie, book, album, video game, tv show)

If we support teachers in collaborative inquiry, using 21st C strategies to engage students as scientists with an emphasis on cross-curricular numeracy, then students will develop their creative and critical thinking abilities, improve their communication skills, and collaborate in an inquiry-driven environment.
Congrats /kudos on the work - we heard great things and are excited to hear
Every group was committed to the process and the learning despite the time constraints and other commitments - last year, groups had more time and didn’t finish

Learning Goals
- To share our learning about what constitutes effective modern science learning
- Debrief the Learning Rounds process as a model of professional learning
- To determine next steps for continued collaboration and inquiry within our practice
Our outcomes for the day

Flow
- Intro to Day
- Science & Global Competencies
- Key Learnings & Successes
- Lunch
- Learning Rounds Debrief
- Next Steps
- Assessing our Overarching Theory of Action
Really what we're trying to accomplish for the day is work toward making this a possible sustainable PL model going forward

Flipgrid Reflections
Most recent Flipgrid post - purpose was to stimulate thinking - keep those things in mind as we move through the day

How Does Each Competency Relate to Science Education?
Connecting the global competencies to science education at a general level
(Post link to Mindomo in Google Classroom)
Whole group will contribute to document - how does each competency relate to science education? (Think back to Stewie activity)

Key Learnings & Success
Jigsaw
Post chart to Classroom
Home groups – record what the key learnings were, what success criteria were met, (based on evidence of student learning, engagement, achievement)
Mixed groups: share learning (fill in additional rows)
Back to home groups: What did we learn about effective modern science learning? Record common themes/learnings/key ideas in some sort of innovative way (ie. sketchnote, slides, movie, etc.)

Professional Learning is Like...
Visual Synectics Comparison
Going back to the visual synectics from last time - Learning Rounds (as a professional learning model) is like…..because….. And then compare with traditional professional learning

Collaborative Inquiry as Learning
PMI
In small groups, discuss the process - PMI
Positives, Minuses, Interesting
(not about them, about the process as a model of professional learning)

Collaborative Inquiry
- Process is collaborative
- Process is reflective
- Requires a learning stance
- Process is driven by practice
- Actions are informed by evidence

Dear Tony...
Post question on Flipgrid
Imagine they are talking to Tony about transforming professional learning in the Board. What would you like to share with him

Assessing our Overarching Theory of Action - were we close?
Consolidation will allow for conversation on this

Conversation
A lot of times PL doesn't give any time to simply talk about the learning. We want to offer that to you (I know end of day, but still important - develop relationships, connections, etc.)
What did we learn: What are the most urgent, emerging student learning needs?
What are the implications of this work for student learning? What are the implications of this work for teacher learning? What do we still need to learn about?

Our outcomes for the day - Did we hit these targets?
If not we need to stay until we have ;)
