Institute for Learning PROPOSAL
Learning Plan for Teaneck Schools
Schoo1 Year 2019-2020

The Institute for Learning (IFL) proposes to partner with Teaneck Public Schools to address the needs identified by Superintendent Christopher Irving, EdD, and Assistant Superintendent of C & I Christine Johnson.
In an effort to support the Teaneck Public Schools in New Jersey in understanding and implementing high-level, research-based mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) instruction and learning for every student, the following plan has been developed. The plan allows for a variety of professional
learning opportunities and instructional materials for teachers of Grades 3-5 mathematics and Grades K-
2 ELA. The work proposed is designed to support elementary (3-5) math educators in growing a deeper understanding of the use of high-level tasks in mathematics and effective teaching practices from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics to support students' mathematical understanding. The ELA plan is designed to focus on early childhood (K-2) on deep reading comprehension and vocabulary.
Administrators will learn how to support the mathematics and ELA work through observation and feedback and reciprocal conversations. The district and school leaders need a plan of participation in the teacher training in addition to learning how to conduct an asset and learning walk. These half-day sessions will be added to a day when the fellows are in a district and will be planned with the assistant superintendent of C & I who will serve as a contact for the Teaneck Public Schools.

District and School Leadership

The IFL leadership sessions will engage leaders in lea rning from the research, by participating in and reflecting on the practice. The learning activities outlined below are designed to connect the disciplinary work in literacy and mathematics with the district-wide strategy for improvement by a) studying, sharing,and discussing research on effective instructional high-leverage practices; b) exploring new teaching approaches to increase student engagement and understanding;c) observing, analyzing,and annotating classroom teaching in real time to grow leaders' own learning; and d) understanding how to integrate professional learning that supports good teaching into the school culture. We will also conduct asset and learning walks to understand the strengths of students and teachers and to see how the professional learning concepts are being implemented in the classroom. The learning plan below centers on the argument that instructional leadership plays a significant role in improving student learning.

The focus of the work for Teaneck Public Schools is to provide students in Grades K-2 the foundation to be successful with the cognitive demands and challenges they will encounter as they progress through school,maintaining the goal of being college and career ready. Because we recognize the important role effective comprehension instruction plays in that path and the importance of beginning comprehension work early, we propose two approaches that target and support students in improving comprehension: Questioning the Author and Robust Vocabulary Instruction. Questioning the Author in Grades K-2 captures the benefits of read-aloud experiences by providing students with the opportunity to engage with and construct meaning from complex texts. An added bonus is that the rich discussions reflected in the QtA approach further students' language development, another important focus during these early grades. The second approach, Robust Vocabulary Instruction, provides teachers with the knowledge and tools for the selection and implementation of challenging and engaging vocabulary lessons. Given the research that supports the correlation between young children's vocabulary and their reading comprehension in later grades, we felt including vocabulary instruction as a focus was critical to our work. Recognizing the important role discussion plays in both approaches, we also will engage participants in work around Accountable Talk practices, providing them with the knowledge to foster
talk-rich classrooms in the early grades. In addition to the foundational work shared during the sessions, we propose two days of learning labs which provide teachers to share, engage in, and reflect on lessons that target the approaches covered during the face-to-face sessions.
To deepen work and maximize learning, we will utilize face-to-face professional learning and job­ embedded learning. District and school administrators will participate in the training, build foundational capacity to observe, and support the use of high-leverage practices in discipline-specific ways, not as add-on work, but as a way of working in classrooms to advance learning.

ELA PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS	
Audience	All teachers in Grades K-2 who teach ELA and district/school administrators as assigned	
Duration	Six (6) nonconsecutive days	
Description	Day 1: Introduction to Questioning the Author and Text Complexity
We will begin the professional learning sequence by providing teachers with an overview of Questioning the Author, an approach developed by Dr. Isabel Beck and Dr. Margaret McKeown that is designed to enhance young children's ability to construct meaning from complex texts, and the important role these complex texts play in the implementation of such lessons. Participants will read about, analyze a video, and discuss the Questioning the Author approach in order to build a common understanding of how young children's' read-aloud experiences can be opportunities to improve students' comprehension. We then will further develop their understanding of the approach by reviewing the key characteristics of complex texts. Using various complexity rubrics, participants will analyze shared texts and determine what makes the texts worthy of Questioning the Author lessons.

ELA PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS

Bridge to Practice: Participants will review grade-level texts and bring with them three books they feel would be good candidates for Questioning the Author lessons. They should be prepared to share why they selected these particular texts.

Day 2: Apply Learning to Grade-Level Texts
During the second professional learning session, we will focus on preparation for the first learning lab where two teachers will facilitate Questioning the Author lessons. Participants will bring with them several texts they believe would be good candidates for Questioning the Author lessons. For non-readers, we suggest complex and engaging trade books that include challenging and/or abstract concepts. For readers,teacher s can bring either trade books or short stories or novels. Again, the key is to bring texts/trade books that can sustain rich discussion. Together, we will apply the text complexity rubrics to the texts and decide which two grade-level texts would be most appropriate. Participants then will plan a Questioning the Author lesson for one of the two texts, share plans, receive feedback, and revise plans.
Bridge to Practice: Except for the two volunteers hosting the learning labs, participants will teach, reflect on, and bring their notes on the Questioning the Author lesson they designed during the session.
Day 3:Learning Lab
The purpose of the learning labs is to provide teachers with the opportunity to apply the learning from the professional development sessions to their actual
classrooms. In addition, these labs create a community of learners in which teachers feel safe to refine and extend their practice by engaging in reflection and hearing ideas from peers.
Bridge to Practice: Teachers will bring their reflections from the Questioning the Author lessons they taught as well as the texts that were chosen as strong candidates for Questioning the Author lessons.
Day 4: Lesson Reflection and Accountable Talk Practices
Participants will begin the session by sharing their experience with teaching Questioning the Author lessons. Together,we will highlight successes from the lessons and problem solve ways to advance teacher learning.
After reflecting on their Questioning the Author lessons, participants will learn about Accountable Talk practices and the talk moves and functions that will support their Questioning the Author lessons. Participants will conclude the day by preparing a second Questioning the Author lesson to implement prior to the next session.
Bridge to Practice: Implement and reflect on the second Questioning the Author lesson and be prepared to talk from the reflective notes. Participants also will bring the texts that were chosen as strong candidates for Questioning the Author Lessons.
Day 5: Lesson Reflection and Robust Vocabulary Instruction
Participants will begin the session by sharing their experiences with teaching a second Questioning the Author lesson. Together, we will examine how their

	knowledge of Accountable Talk practices and how incorporating the Accountable Talk moves enhanced their Questioning the Author lessons. Aga in, we will problem solve ways to advance their learning.
Participants will then examine the role vocabulary plays in comprehension and will develop an understanding of the three-tier system created by Dr. Isabel Beck and Dr. Margaret McKeown. We will consider the components of effective vocabulary instruction and how this kind of vocabulary study supports and improves reading comprehension of young children. Using what they learned about robust vocabulary, participants then will design a vocabulary lesson, share lessons, provide feedback, and revise lessons to prepare to implement a vocabulary lesson.
Bridge to Practice: Two teachers will volunteer to teach their lessons for a second learning lab. All other teachers will implement and reflect on their vocabulary lessons.
Day 6: Learning Lab
Participants will again have the opportunity to apply the learning from the professional development sessions to their actual classrooms as two teachers will facilitate vocabulary lessons.	
Work Required	Teachers will complete Bridges to Practices after each PD session (see Description above for more details).
