Improving Instruction Together: Building Collaborative Teams That Drive Success

In this session, you learn how to:
Leading and Coaching Teacher Teams and PLCs
Teacher teams and PLCs are highly regarded professional practices, yet their effectiveness can diminish without a structured approach. To truly influence teaching and learning, collaborative efforts must be rooted in professional trust. By prioritizing the development of collective efficacy and engaging in candid discussions about instructional methods, we can genuinely propel student outcomes.
In this webinar, viewers gain insights into effectively guiding and motivating teachers through a proven collaborative protocol. The four-step Achievement Teams process is unveiled, offering a blueprint for establishing objectives, facilitating purposeful conversations, and nurturing a culture of shared accountability.
Driving Impact, Action, and Achievement with Teacher Collaboration That Works!
Educators have a greater impact on student achievement when they work together. Yet collaborative models like PLCs often become unguided or misdirected, and thus ineffective. When schools and districts de-emphasize individual practice and promote collective ability, both educator collaboration and student achievement increase.
With Achievement Teams, educators use a four-step protocol designed to drive collaborative conversations that lead to new learning, ultimately resulting in a positive impact on student achievement. Teacher collaboration becomes more meaningful and impactful when schools implement Achievement Teams as part of their ongoing professional development.
Level Up Your PLCs with Achievement Teams
Well-functioning teacher and leadership teams or PLCs are essential to the continuous improvement of schools, especially in times of change and uncertainty. Yet too often, these collaborative models become unguided and misdirected, limiting their capacity to influence teaching and learning.
In this highly interactive and engaging session with ASCD, you’ll learn about Achievement Teams, a four-step collaborative protocol that fosters positive relationships, encourages responsible autonomy, and creates professionals who enthusiastically believe they can improve student outcomes through equitable learning cultures. This process can replace or be used within existing team structures or PLCs to create a school community grounded in collective efficacy.
