CRITICAL ISSUES IN SCHOOL REFORM
a new eight-part series beginning March 2nd on the Annenberg/CPB Channel
(digital satellite receiver required)
Presented by the Annenberg/CPB Channel
Produced by the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown
University
CRITICAL ISSUES IN SCHOOL REFORM
Talking about school reform isn't new. What is new are the many ways
that
schools and communities are now turning talk into action by adapting,
implementing, or even inventing tools to help them make real
improvements
in student achievement.
This series takes viewers to eight places around the country where
teachers, parents, administrators, civic leaders, and others are
collaborating on new practices in public engagement and professional
development.
Stories of Public Engagement: The Patrick O'Hearn School
A Boston elementary school has enhanced student success through close
cooperation with families (30 minutes)
Stories of Public Engagement: The Pattonville School District
Residents in a school district in Missouri are working with their local
schools to tackle emerging educational challenges. (30 minutes)
Stories of Public Engagement: Baltimoreans United in Leadership
Development
(B.U.I.L.D.)
B.U.I.L.D., a local community organizing agency, has helped urban
parents
set up after-school learning centers and become advocates for their
children's learning. (30 minutes)
Innovations in Professional Collaboration: Making Teaching Public
Pasadena (CA) High School teachers use a peer-observation process
observing
one another in their classrooms, then meeting individually and in groups
to
offer feedback as a way to improve teaching practice and student
achievement. (30 minutes)
Innovations in Professional Collaboration: A Community of Learners
At Souhegan High School in Amherst, NH, teachers regularly gather
feedback
on their teaching practice from peers as well as from students as part
of a
school-wide effort to make Souhegan a genuine community of learners. (30
minutes)
Looking at Student Work: A Window into the Classroom
Teachers at Norview High School in Norfolk, VA, demonstrate the
collaborative examination of student work and discuss its value and
implications for teaching practice. (30 minutes)
Reflecting on Teaching Practice: Student Work, Teacher Work, and
Standards,
Part I - Math
A tenth-grade math teacher from San Bruno, California, presents a sample
of
student work from her classroom to a group of teachers, administrators,
and
a facilitator. The group uses a "Tuning Protocol" to examine this work,
to
give the teacher feedback, and to discuss its implications for her
teaching
practice. (60 minutes)
Reflecting on Teaching Practice: Student Work, Teacher Work, and
Standares,
Part II - Science
Four teachers use a videotape from a fifth grade classroom to prompt a
reflective dialogue about their own teaching and the value of observing
other teachers. The group models a conversation in response to a
classroom
observation and then discusses useful structures for peer observation
and
debriefing. (60 minutes)
