CBE Learning Leaders
Designing for Intellectual Engagement: Supporting Effective Teaching, Learning and Leadership
Participants Agenda – Session 2
Website - www.galileo.org/pl/cbe
“Leadership is more like patterns of influence distributed across many players. Leadership effectiveness…depends on how this influence promotes leader and teacher learning in ways that improve the engagement, learning and well-being of all students. This is not the work of one person.” (Timperley, 2011).
Series Learning Intentions:
· Cultivate research-informed and evidence-based practices for teaching, learning and leadership
· Build capacity and strengthen leadership capabilities of school-based pedagogical leadership teams
· Engage learning leaders in helping to create structures, processes and protocols that enable school leadership teams to achieve school development plan goals which are also aligned with the CBE three year education plan and high school re-design.
· Cultivate leadership practices that help to build the adaptive expertise of teachers (experts in applying professional knowledge and being vigilant about the impact of their teaching on students’ engagement, learning progress and well-being) and leadership of effective teaching practices as outlined in the Teaching Effectiveness Framework (TEF).
· Identify evidence to help indicate impact on student outcomes (achievement, engagement and well-being) and on teaching practices.
· Develop processes and protocols for providing teachers with timely, specific and constructive feedback about teaching and learning in knowledge-building inclusive learning environments
· Strengthen leadership capabilities and professional learning networks within and between high schools to further CBE three year education plan in relation to high school re-design.
· Ensure that this work is in alignment with the new Alberta standards for school leaders and teachers.
