Traditional expectations of what school is and how the school serves students are grounded by traditional and expected actions by educators:  defining curriculum, developing instruction, and defining assessment, among other things.

This session will share resources from work in five School District of Philadelphia schools that empower teachers to run PLCs, and then facilitate a discussion for participants to explore teacher leadership in their contexts.","Description":"How do we make professional learning more authentic, relevant, and impactful for educators? Many educators associate professional development (PD) with one-off, lecture-style presentations that feel completely disconnected from their classroom experiences. This discussion will explore a different model of professional learning that is ongoing, closely connected to teaching and learning, and wholly teacher-driven. Drawing on the successful implementation of teacher-led professional learning communities in five School District of Philadelphia (SDP) elementary schools in partnership with Teach Plus, we will share resources and lessons learned from an inquiry-based, data-driven model for teacher team learning.\r\n\r\nThe facilitator will begin with a short video of a teacher leader facilitating a PLC. We will then give participants structured space to dissect the video on topics ranging from the energy in the room to the content being explored, and compare the video to what's playing out in participants\u2019 own context. The facilitator will also share two overall frameworks for developing teacher leaders' ability to run PLCs. We will explore in small groups an inquiry cycle, a leadership development continuum, and a framework for shared leadership. Participants will have time to self-assess and share where their school currently stands in relation to implementing these best practices. Finally, partners will explore sample agendas and protocols, and then share takeaways with each other. Along with a Q&A at the end, discussion will center primarily around the best practices and resources shared in the session, and how the content could be applied to the local school contexts.","Link":["http:\/\/www.teachplus.org\/"],"Audience":["Elementary School","All School Levels"],"Practice":"- Dyads\r\n- Conversation protocol\r\n- Small group resource exploration","Presenter":["Andrew Knips"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Teach Plus"],"PresenterEmail":["aknips@teachplus.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":139,"ScheduleLocationID":9,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":9},{"ID":1001,"Class":"Conversation","Created":1572624133,"CreatorID":4757,"RevisionID":null,"Status":"Accepted","Title":"Living in the Digital World","Handle":"living_in_the_digital_world","ShortDescription":"NOW IN ROOM 1169\r\nOur students are living in a world that many of us did not grow up in.

Students expect that their privacy will be protected when they enter the school, the classroom, and onto virtual educational spaces.

The Trust Spectrum matrix requires you to think about what kind of information is shared, both voluntarily and inadvertently, with edtech vendors. For example, would you share your email address with a government agency, and under what circumstances? Is it okay for a student to share their ethnic background or identity with advertisers? Are we okay with collecting biometric data, like voice recordings and face identification? Are there some kinds of data you would never share?
