Professional Teaching and Learning CycleVocabulary Strand
4
By the end of this session..Participants will:
• examine the Professional Teaching and Learning Cycle (PTLC) as a strategy,
• engage in a process to create a clear focus for all school and district professional development days and sessions,
• determine the implications of using the PTLC as an alignment strategy, and
• create an action plan to introduce the PTLC to your district and/or school.
5
By the end of this session..Participants will understand that:
• effective vocabulary instruction does not rely on definitions
• students must represent their knowledge of words in linguistic and nonlinguistic ways
• vocabulary instruction has a profound effect on student comprehension of academic content.
Participants will
• engage in a six step process for effective vocabulary instruction.
Based on:Marzano, R. J. (2004). Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement: Research on What Works in Schools . Alexandria, VA: ASCD.

Activity 2: Free Association
12
Who is SEDL?• The Southwest Educational Development
Laboratory (SEDL) is a nonprofit educational research and development corporation based in Austin, TX.
• Improving teaching and learning has been at the heart of SEDL’s work for nearly 40 years.
• SEDL conducts research and develops products that lead to better teaching, increased learning, and improved student performance.
13
SEDL FindingsLow Performing Schools• Attribution of problems to external factors• Little use of data to drive decisions• Little attention to systemic alignment of
curriculum, instruction and assessment to state standards
• Fragmented, unfocused professional development
• Limited content and pedagogical knowledge• Culture of isolation
14
Applying Research to Practice
• A “guaranteed and viable curriculum” is essential (Marzano, 2003)
• Goals of the National Staff Development Council– Encourage teacher collaboration– Focus on job-embedded learning– Use a systemic improvement strategy– Tie learning to a set of standards– Monitor progress of teachers and students
Marzano, R. (2003). What works in schools: Translating research into action. Alexandria, VA: ASCD.

Activity 3: Readings
1. Read the assigned article“Evens” read The Professional Teacher and Learning Cycle
“Odds” read What is a PLC?
2. Complete graphic organizer handout
3. Share with the group
4. As a group, create a graphic organizer that represents understanding of both articles
16
What is the PTLC?The professional teaching and learning cycle is a six-phase process that teachers use for collaboratively planning and implementing lessons that are aligned to their state standards.

18
STUDYThe standards andagree on student
learning expectations
19
Phase I: StudyTeachers 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.
20
Phase I: Study
Team Meetings
• Where do the teams meet?
• When do the teams meet?
• Who is on the team?
• How are teams structured?
21
Phase I: Study Developing Norms
• ground rules for how the team will work together
• respect for fellow team members
• enables the group to focus on what needs to be done rather than how things should be done
• While the group works collaboratively to gain skill and understanding in how to improve learning, it is the individual’s contribution to the group that makes that possible.
• results in greater productivity
22
Phase I: Study Developing Norms
• Attendance
• Timeliness
• Participation
• Interruptions
• Preparation
• Decision-making
• Communication
23
Phase I: Study
Protocols • Protocols are structures that enable
educators to look carefully and collaboratively at students’ and teachers’ work in order to learn from it.
• Protocols– Provide a structure for conversation
• a series of steps/questions that a group follows in fixed or recursive order,
– Specify the roles for different people in the group• facilitator, presenter, and participants
24
Phase I: Study
Facilitator’s Role • assist the collaborative team in
maintaining coherence in planning,• focusing on how their lesson will address
the TEKS, and • developing questions to assist lesson
observers in gathering evidence of student learning.
25
Phase I: Study Knowledgeable Other’s Role• Each lesson study team also needs a
"knowledgeable other" to provide perspective and a broader view of the issues.
• These individuals may also be known as outside commentator, evaluator, or outside advisor.
• Knowledgeable others bring a depth of expertise in the given content area but they could be district-wide curriculum specialists or specialists from a regional education agency.

The PTLC Innovation Configuration (IC) Map
In most change efforts, different people have surprisingly different images of what full implementation looks like. . . One way to (develop consensus) is to develop an innovation configuration map.
An innovation configuration map is composed of “word picture” descriptions of different operational forms of an innovation or change.

Using the PTLC Innovation Configuration Map
• Develop a common understanding of the PTLC process• Decide how to use the IC
– To initiate dialogue about implementation• Who? What? When? Why?
– Monitoring tool to gather data• Who? How often?• Summarize data
– Focus on school data, not individual data• Share data
– Look for trends and patterns

SELECTinstructional strategies
and resources to meet expectations
© 2007, Region One ESC, a TESCCC Partner39
Phase II: SelectCollaborative 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.
• Agree on appropriate assessment techniques that will be used to provide evidence of student learning.
© 2007, Region One ESC, a TESCCC Partner 40
Phase II: Select
Consider this…
• Vocabulary instruction in specific content-area terms builds up a student’s background knowledge.
• Background knowledge is more important to comprehension than I.Q.
41
Phase II: Select A Six-Step Process for Teaching New Terms Step 1: Provide a description, explanation, or example of
the new term.
Step 2: Ask students to restate the description, explanation, or example in their own words.
Step 3: Ask students to construct a picture, symbol, or graphic representing the term or phrase.
Step 4: Engage students periodically in activities that help them add to their knowledge of the terms in their notebooks.
Step 5: Periodically ask students to discuss the terms with one another.
Step 6: Involve students periodically in games that allow them to play with terms.

Phase II: Select Simulation
1. Select the instructional strategies and resources that will be used to teach the selected student expectations in the Instructional Focus Document.
2. Agree on appropriate assessment techniques that will be used to provide evidence of student learning.

Phase III: PlanCollaborative 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.
• Decide what evidence of student learning will be collected during the implementation through Performance Indicators.

IMPLEMENTthe plan
54
Phase IV: ImplementTeachers 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.
• Collect the agreed-upon evidence of student learning to take back to the collaborative planning team.
55
Putting the PTLC Into Action
First Meeting
Phases I-III Study, Select and Plan phases are completed in a collaborative meeting (usually takes 2-3 hours at first)
Phase IV Implement
Teachers teach the lesson and other staff members observe.
56
Starting the Cycle• Provide an orientation to staff• Establish teams
– Not too small - not too large– Teams establish norms
• Select a starting point– Examine student achievement data– Select a focus (e.g., vocabulary, measurement)
• Ensure support– Time– Standards– Scope and sequence– Access to multiple forms of data– Designated, skilled facilitator– Content area expertise

Celebrate your Successes“Win small, win early, and win often.” Gary Hamel
“Major change is a process of small wins.” (1995, Kouzes and Posner)
Our goals should be “designed to produce short-term wins”.
A “steady stream of successes,” will create “the magic of momentum” toward enduring organizational success. (2004, Schmoker)

Your Journey Has Begun• Each fall, monarch butterflies in Maine begin an
unbelievable journey to a hilltop in Mexico. How do they do it? They focus on the goal, not the difficulties. Each day they take their bearings and set off, allowing their instincts and desire to steer them. They accept what comes; some winds blow them off course, others speed them along. They keep flying until, one day, they arrive.
68
Thank You
Your determination makes the difference.
