 Takeaways from Learning Forward: 

  • Specific ways to infuse equity to support culture and climate through equity walks, student voice, and retaining talent
  • The importance of data and goal setting as well as ways to implement data collection to impact teacher instruction and student learning
  • Data rules to follow: data should foster hope, should be tied to professional development, should be objective, should be reliable and mutually understood, should be valid, should be frequently gathered, should be gathered by teachers, should be easy to gather and review, and should be validated by research
  • Brain Smart Start process of Unite, Connect, Disengage Stress, Commit to help start a lesson, professional development, etc. with students and staff alike to help with engagement and focus 
  • Ways to support educator resilience and building teacher leaders through this process by learning about topics such as toxic positivity, spheres of influence and control, and the types of resilience
