A copy of the blog posts will be supportive documentation for
the Collegial Circle.
After reading an article/s, please respond to the following questions:
1. What are some of the central ideas discussed in the articles? What issues or ideas do the authors explore? Are they personal, sociological, global, political, economic, spiritual, medical, or scientific?
2. Do the issues affect your life? How so—directly, on a daily basis, or more generally? Now or sometime in the future?
3. What are the implications for the future? Are there long- or short-term consequences to the issues raised in the article? Are they positive or negative...affirming or frightening?
4. What solutions do the authors propose? Are the authors recommendations concrete, sensible, doable? Who would implement those solutions?
VERY IMPORTANT!:
After participating in the Collegial Circle, please respond to the following “final outcome” questions. Your feedback will help in submitting the Final Outcome statement for PD approval. These are the questions the RCSD requires to approve individual hours:
1. How did your work within this Collegial Learning Circle impact teaching/learning? Include implementation samples; student work samples, lesson plans, observations, peer reviews, etc.
2.Provide evidence that as a result of this professional learning you have improved/enhanced your practice and more effectively addressed student learning.
