On-Your-Feet Guide: Understanding PLC+

This guide provides a quick reference for developing strong and effective PLCs through the "plus": YOU. Supporting you, as a teacher, is the goal-as you build your individual and collective efficacy, hold high expectations for all students, ensure equity, and ultimately guide learning for students and for your colleagues.

The collaborative work of the PLC+ should leverage teachers' individual efficacy into collective teacher efficacy. Honoring each of these beliefs requires deliberate practice and intentionality.

The 10 Visible Learning Mindframes are a foundational concept in Visible Learning - but it's hard to know what the mindframes look like in practice. In this On-Your-Feet Guide, we provide teachers with a reflective tool to help them identify their mindframes and embody the VL Mindframes in their classrooms. The 10 Mindframes are:

I am an evaluator
Assessment shows me my effect
I collaborate
I'm a change agent
I take on challenges and don't fear failure
I give and take feedback
I teach through dialogue, not monologue
I use our school's common "language" of learning
I develop positive relationships
I talk about "learning" much more than "teaching"

Each On-Your-Feet Guide is laminated, 8.5"x11" tri-fold (6 pages), and 3-hole punched.

This is the 10-pack of the On-Your-Feet Guide to Visible Learning: Student-Teacher Feedback.

All students need to know that they trust teachers to have their best interests at heart but also to believe that they can reach our high expectations of them. We need to encourage students to reveal their misunderstandings, normalizing error as an exciting aspect of learning: feedback when there is misunderstanding is most powerful, as it indicates that the student is on the brink of new learning.

This guide encompasses tried and tested ideas for delving into students' understanding so that we can act appropriately in helping them learn.

Teachers will learn:
- the importance of student-to-teacher feedback
- how to check for understanding with the whole class and individual students
- question templates for uncovering student thinking

On-Your-Feet Guides (OYFGs) provide you with the ultimate "cheat sheet" to implement effective change in your classroom while in the moment of teaching.

This is the 10-pack of the On-Your-Feet Guide to Visible Learning: In-Lesson Feedback.

Everyone knows that feedback works, and yet not everyone does feedback well. It's especially hard to give feedback during a class session. This helpful guide will help teachers provide on-the-go feedback that:

* Aligns to learning intentions and success criteria

* Is delivered at just the right time

* Matches a learner's stage of learning (surface, deep, or transfer)

On-Your-Feet Guide: Distance Learning by Design, Grades PreK-2

The pandemic teaching of mid-2020 was really not distance learning. It was also not homeschooling, which is a choice parents make for very specific reasons. It was crisis teaching. Now, we have time to be more purposeful and intentional with distance learning. What should not be lost is that as a field we learned more about what works by, at times, experiencing what didn't work in a virtual setting. It heightened our sense of what we already knew in face-to-face classrooms (Hattie, 2020):

Fostering student self-regulation is crucial for moving learning to deep and transfer levels

Learning accelerates when the student, not the teacher, is in control of learning
There needs to be a diversity of instructional approaches (not just some direct instruction and then some off-line independent work)
Well-designed peer learning impacts understanding
Feedback in a high trust environment must be integrated into the learning cycle

Let's use what we have learned and are continuing to learn, whether in a face-to-face or distance learning environment. As a part of face-to-face teaching, let's build our students' capacity (and our own) for distance learning. Now we have time to use evidence about what works best to impact students. Inspired by The Distance Learning Playbook, this On-Your-Feet Guide dedicated to primary grade students (pre-kindergarten through grade 2) will apply the wisdom of Visible Learning research to distance learning in a quick, easy-to-navigate guide.

Each On-Your-Feet Guide is laminated, 8.5"x11" tri-fold (6 pages), and 3-hole punched.
