Title: Improvement on the Front Lines: Using Learning Huddles to Shift Instruction
Abstract/Description: Improvement at the classroom level is challenging and complex. And yet, for student outcomes to improve, we need teachers at the front lines engaging in reflection and testing change ideas. Join us for a conversation focused on teacher professional learning communities designed to shift instructional practice. Do a deep dive into the use of discussion protocols or “huddles” as a catalyst for improvement, featuring K–6 literacy-focused examples from Washoe County School District and Baltimore City Public Schools. Engage in an interactive discussion around challenges in supporting teacher inquiry: scaffolding change ideas, developing practical measures, and consolidating learning across classrooms and schools
