Objectives
• Demonstrate an understanding of SEDL’s Professional Teaching and Learning Cycle (PTLC) and its value for low-performing schools.
• Critique PTLC’s utility as a vehicle for professional development and tool for alignment.

Scope of the Project
• 2001–05 contract with the U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Educational Sciences
• Five states: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas
• 23 districts

What is it about low-performing schools?
Brainstorm with your table group:
List 3 issues related to
curriculum, instruction, assessments, or standards
with which schools in improvement struggle.
You have 7 minutes.

What SEDL found in low-performing schools
• Little attention to systemic alignment of curriculum, instruction, and assessment (CIA) to state standards
• Professional development not connected to real needs and fragmented
• Little use of data to drive decisions
• Attribution to external factors
• Limited content and pedagogical knowledge
• Culture of isolation

Study
Teachers work in collaborative planning teams (grade-level, vertical, or departmental) to critically examine and discuss the learning expectations from the selected state standards. Teachers working collaboratively develop a common understanding of the following:
• The concepts and skills students need to know and be able to do to meet the expectations in the standards
• How the standards for a grade or course are assessed on state and local tests
• How the standards fit within a scope and sequence of the district curriculum
![Page 19: The Professional Teaching and Learning Cycle As a Strategy for Alignment and Refinement: An Overview Stacey Joyner Program Associate - SEDL sjoyner@sedl.org](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052510/5697bff81a28abf838cbf517/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Select
Collaborative planning teams research and select instructional strategies and resources for enhancing learning as described in the standards. Teachers working collaboratively
• identify effective research-based strategies and appropriate resources that will be used to support learning in the selected state standards and
• agree on appropriate assessment techniques that will be used to provide evidence of student learning.
![Page 20: The Professional Teaching and Learning Cycle As a Strategy for Alignment and Refinement: An Overview Stacey Joyner Program Associate - SEDL sjoyner@sedl.org](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052510/5697bff81a28abf838cbf517/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Plan
Collaborative planning teams work together to formally plan a lesson incorporating the selected strategies and agree on the type of student work each teacher will take to the Analyze phase to use as evidence of student learning. Teachers working collaboratively
• develop a common formal plan outlining the lesson objectives (relevant to the standards), the materials being used, the procedures, the time frame for the lesson, and the activities in which students will be engaged and
• decide what evidence of student learning will be collected during the implementation.
![Page 21: The Professional Teaching and Learning Cycle As a Strategy for Alignment and Refinement: An Overview Stacey Joyner Program Associate - SEDL sjoyner@sedl.org](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052510/5697bff81a28abf838cbf517/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Implement
Teachers teach the planned lesson, make note of implementation successes and challenges, and gather the agreed-upon evidence of student learning. Teachers
• deliver the lesson as planned in the specified time period;
• record results, especially noting where students struggled and/or where instruction did not achieve expected outcomes; and
• collect the agreed-upon evidence of student learning to take back to the collaborative planning team.
![Page 22: The Professional Teaching and Learning Cycle As a Strategy for Alignment and Refinement: An Overview Stacey Joyner Program Associate - SEDL sjoyner@sedl.org](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052510/5697bff81a28abf838cbf517/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Analyze
Teachers gather again in collaborative teams to examine student work and discuss student understanding of the standards. Teachers working collaboratively
• revisit and familiarize themselves with the standards before analyzing student work;
• analyze a sampling of student work for evidence of student learning;
• discuss whether students have met the expectations outlined in the standards and make inferences about the strengths, weaknesses, and implications of instruction; and
• identify what students know and what skill needs to be strengthened in future lessons.

23
Adjust
Collaborative teams reflect on the implications of the analysis of student work. Teachers discuss alternative instructional strategies or modifications to the original instructional strategy that may be better suited to promoting student learning. Teachers working collaboratively
• reflect on their common or disparate teaching experiences;
• consider and identify alternative instructional strategies for future instruction;
• refine and improve the lesson; and
• determine when the instructional modifications will take place, what can be built into subsequent lessons, and what needs an additional targeted lesson.

Sorting Fish Science, Grade 6
Instruction Teachers collaboratively created a series of lesson plans to address the following standard: 2001 Mississippi Science Framework Sixth Grade
5. Explore the unique characteristics and adaptations of organisms (L, E) a. Evaluate and chart the similarities of organisms
The lesson plan spanned several days. Planned activities included:
• students reading books and articles containing information about different types of fish
• students working in groups to sort photographs of differen t types o f fish • students independently creating their own glossary of related vocabulary • partners working to create aFeatures Matrix chart that was shared wit hthe class.
The culminating activity involved an activity coordinated wit hthe Parks and Wildlife Departmen t (see article attach )ed. Assessment Teachers collaboratively developed an assessmen t that would effectively measure the
degreeto which th estandard was me .t Teachers also developed a rubric which provide d a descriptor for proficiency level .s

Work with your group to analyze student work samples.
• Separate samples into ‘proficiency piles’ • Use the rubric to help determine proficiency
Option #1 – Each group member sorts his/her own stack of samples and provides decision justification for the group.
Option #2 – All group members look at the same work sample. Team discusses and decides, as a team, into which stack to place the work.
