GOAL** To be able to see if collaboration in the form of coaching and planning sessions has an impact with student achievement.
 * [|Slide show]


 * M** easurable - I need to keep track of the times that I can collaborate and plan with teachers and the one that don't.

Evidence Gathering (fall)
 * made a formal report of 1st quarter statistics
 * Have a private blog
 * am using a recorder/pen to analyze my conversations with teachers

Update: Jan/Feb
 * Continue to use pen to record planning sessions and upload to internet
 * Continue (but not as good) record daily events on private blog

Evidence Gathered (anecdotal) OPAL (English) Collaborative lesson during Gatsby research Topics: General research skills, plagiarism and citations 4 day project with poster presentations Assessment: No incidence of plagiarism, and evidence of increased awareness of what this is (Opal and I had lots of questions about what might be plagiarism) 95% of students did citations formatted correctly, where the remaining just URL's.

VIGIL (World Studies) Collaborative lesson with research project Topics: general research skills with text and online, works cited page and parenthetical citations. Skills included writing skills like introducing the required quotes, properly presenting quotes and describing why the quote was important. Assessment: Use of evidence (quotes with parenthetical citation) went way up. Strong use of the "formula" by students. A few had seamless use of this, but most still "clumsy" with the correct info there. *will be getting grades and compare to the pre-writing example taken earlier in the year.

Observations: I am more intentional when the pen is turned on (in planning, coaching etc) When I review the recorded sessions I find opportunities that I had to coach teachers, and adapt for the following day The pen helps remind me what I have done and I love the record it creates as far as accomplishments "On the fly" planning sessions noted, would like to review them and look for patterns and successes Feb: newness has worn off and I didn't use the pen as consistently so some data lost

Completed a great full collaboration unit using research skills with students for the book study. (still need to write it up!)

Moderate success in setting up: · anecdotal survey of teachers after unit (have about 3-5...so very low percentage of planning) · anecdotal survey of students (should do this - using Google forms) · observation/notes about how unit/lesson is different than previous lessons (compiling/typing these now)

I'm hoping to find data/proof that coaching/planning sessions have a profound impact on positively affecting student achievement

Need to create ways to gather data on teachers and students Have been noting coaching styles and language used Evidence gathering continues. Looking forward to examining for patterns. Working with Dr Summers in evidence collection and analysis Ongoing: share data with staff and principal ​ No changes: **R** ealistic - yes- with work could do- and need to do. Should validate the roles power libraries take in schools. Sure could use your ideas! ~THANKS- PHIL
 * A** ttainable - (Beginning to wonder where this is going!)
 * T** imely - All collaboration, data collecting and analysis to be done by spring break.
