On April 29, I'll be co-hosting this event with Thriving Educator to share...

In this episode of the PBL Simplified for Administrators podcast, host Ryan Steuer welcomes back Dr. Chad Dumas to discuss the importance of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) in enhancing Project Based Learning (PBL) environments. They explore the mindset and culture necessary for effective PLCs, the role of teacher team leaders, and strategies for creating a collaborative and safe environment for educators. Dr. Dumas emphasizes the significance of adult learning and the need for a supportive culture to drive student success. The conversation also highlights success stories and practical advice for educators and leaders looking to implement or improve PLCs in their schools. Takeaways PLCs should be viewed as a culture, not just meetings. Creating a psychologically safe environment is crucial for effective PLCs. Teacher team leaders play a vital role in building capacity within their teams. Mindsets and assumptions significantly impact leadership effectiveness. Conflict can be a positive force for growth in teams. Ongoing learning and reflection are essential for successful PLCs. Success stories demonstrate the effectiveness of PLCs in various school settings. Adult culture in schools directly influences student culture. Educators need clarity on what to guarantee every student learns. Collaboration among teachers leads to better outcomes for students.

Ch-ch-ch-changes (turn and face the pain?) Show Description:Last week you listened to Chad Dumas and I discuss PLCs. When we began talking, I had in my head the idea of a PLC being a discrete thing – group of teachers collaborating around honing their teaching skills. I suspect that most of you listening also had similar ideas – that PLCs were things we could drop into schools and have teachers “do.” However, as the conversation unfolded, Chad reminded me of some things I had forgotten, foremost of which is that PLCs are a culture, not a practice. In today's episode, I'm going to briefly recap a couple of the main points from last week and then do a deep dive on how to implement a change in your school. I will use PLCs as an example, but the process will apply to any change you want to support.  Celebrations:Watching seeds that have been planted bear fruit:·      Garden – peas, greens, strawberries·      Relationships – most of the people you hear on this show become friends. The show isn't an end, it is a beginning for those relationships, but also, I hope, for your own practice·      Growing my speaking, slowly over timePatience brings piece, helps me stay focused on process, not product The Big IdeaRecap from last week:1.     PLC is an ethos, the school is the community part of PLC, the team is just one feature.2.     Within a PLC school, teachers use multiple forms of evidence to hone their craft.3.     The first two critical questions that teachers ask are:a.     What do I want students to be able to do?b.     How will I know if they can do it?4.     To change beliefs, we need to change behaviors5.     “It starts with us! We can't lead a change until we look in the mirror.”6.     Three years to implementation7.     Begin by asking reflective questions What does a three-year implementation look like?·      Train analogy:o   The engine plants the seedso   The cars provide the momentum·      Must be driven from the people who will be implementing the change (teachers)·      Role of leaders:o   Plant seedso   Support (organization)o   Grow (teachers) Fall 1: Plant seeds with teachersSpring 1: Form a pilot – if teachers want it. No desire, no project (examine the alternatives)Fall 2: Expand the pilot slightly, refine practices, gather evidenceSpring 2: Big expansion, still piloting, completely voluntaryFall 3: Whole staff training and supportSpring 3: Anchoring (structures, language, processes, priorities, consistency) and expectations Dissecting challenges to PLCs:·      Org levelo   Schedule and lack of collaboration timeo   Competing demands, esp. other initiatives (e.g. resources)o   Priorities and clarity of purpose·      Teacher levelo   Skill to reflect deeplyo   Disposition to be vulnerableo   Knowledge of specific practices (that second question is scary)·      The challenge of alignment and the Six Dimensions·      External forces and why it must be teacher-driven Strategic Action Cycles as a way to pinpoint problems and drive incremental change Summarizing (The big takeaway)Wrap up:·      Big change is hard: complex, messy, resource intensive·      Sans drive from teachers and enough resources, don't do it·      The way you impact your school, is to support and grow teachers, whether it is PLCs, MTSS, PBIS, improving teaching, the process is the same. Sponsorship:I want to thank IXL for sponsoring this podcast… Everyone talks about the power of data-driven instruction.

What are you celebrating today?·      Is there a story that will help listeners understand why you are doing what you do?  Questions/Topics/Prompts·      Why is “PLC” one of the despised edu-talk words?·      What are the core differences between PLCs and meetings that masquerade as PLCs?·      Are there elements of PLCs that can be grafted onto other types of events?·      For APs who want to nurture a culture conducive to PLCs and other collegial work, what do you suggest?·        Closing questions:·      What part of your own leadership are you still trying to get better at?·      If listeners could take just one thing away from today's podcast, what would it be?·      Before we go, is there anything else that you'd like to share with our listeners?·      Where can people learn more about you and your work… OutroThere is so much in this episode that next week I will be releasing a follow-up that specifically focuses on how you can use change processes to begin sowing the seeds for teacher-driven PLC. We'll dig a bit deeper into my train analogy, the Six Dimensions of Organizations, and the specifics of what it mean to support and grow teachers. For this week, I encourage you to begin asking your teachers these two questions, about a lesson, a week, or a unit:1.     What did you want students to be able to do? 2.     How did or will you know if they learned it? You could incorporate one these into 5-minute coaching like this:·      What went well?·      What did you want students to be able to do?·      Were there any surprises?·      Is there anything you would do differently? We will dig deeper next week, fir now focus on asking reflective questions! Close·      Leadership is a journey and thank you for choosing to walk some of this magical path with me.·      You can find links to all sorts of stuff in the show notes, including my website https://www.frederickbuskey.com/·      I love hearing from you so consider email me at frederick@frederickbuskey.com or connecting with me on LinkedIn.·      My book, A School Leader's Guide to Reclaiming Purpose, is now available on Amazon.

Show title and release date: Who Should Drive Change? With Frederick Power quote: Lighter = faster and easier with less risk of injury Show Description:In a few weeks you will hear my discussion with Dr. Chad Dumas in which we dig into PLCs. We begin by noting the “PLC” is one of the most despised buzzwords by teachers and dig into the why. In my conversation with Chad, we move from 40,000 feet to ground level multiple times. I don't think the episode is confusing, it's more that there are so many powerful ideas in the one episode that some of them will get lost. One of the parts I'm afraid will get overlooked is our discussion on implementation, which is fleeting and incomplete. So, I've recorded a follow-up – a sequel in TV jargon – that uses PLC implementation as an example of how we should – and should not – implement change. That takes us to today, the prequel to main episode in a few weeks. I want to frontload some thoughts about change, so when you hear my discussion with Chad, you will better follow what we are talking about. I also want some key ideas bouncing around in your head as you begin discussions in your leadership teams (hopefully) on what next years will look like.  Celebrations: As I record this, I've just been hired for the first time to lead a book study of A School Leader's Guide to Reclaiming Purpose with 20 assistant principals in the western region of North Carolina. I'm so excited and want to give a big shout out to Candie Sellers at WRESA. Candie, it has been a pleasure working with you and your passion for education throughout WNC inspires me to keep growing and becoming better.   Disclaimer: You don't have to agree with me, if you don't agree with me, that doesn't mean you are wrong. There are different ways t approach things. What I describe here is well-documented in the research and is my loved experience, but different people create different outcomes. If some of what I say does create dissonance, I ask that you analyze why and then make a conscious decision to disregard what I've said, withhold judgement and continue evaluating, or embrace it. The Big Idea Backpack:·      Lighter = faster and easier with less risk of injury·      I must pack my own pack and decide on my own gear·      Sharing some gear makes things easier for everyone Corollaries:·      Fewer initiatives mean better implementation with less burnout (every yes is a no to something else)·      Teachers should drive the focus of PD. Three examples:o   ECT struggling with CR managemento   Mid-career teacher who wants more student participationo   Late career teacher who is overwhelmed caring for aging parents·      It is a collaborative effort When someone attempts to implement something new, there two critical variables:·      Can they grow?·      Will they be supported?·      Growth:·      Support: Four dimensions: align to the practice·      Example: Restorative practices Challenges·      Teachers choose the wrong thing:o   Change requires trust§  Trust builds when we listen§  Trust builds when we help people decrease paino   We aren't very good at identifying “the thing”o   M=V/Eo   If the house is burning down we put out the fireo   We can plant seeds!·      Teachers don't want to grow:o   Acknowledge the traumao   Acknowledge the stigma of coaching and “improvement plans”o   Acknowledge the lack of resourceso   Acknowledge the flavor-of-the-montho   Ask, “If you could get your students to do one thing differently, what would it be?” Getting them to do “the thing” is where they want and need to grow.·      Mandates and new thingso   Four approaches: ignore, delay, deny, find the overlapo   Leading edge versus bleeding edge·      Our reading scores sucko   Every teacher's students' scores don't suck for the same reasono   Fidelity matters, if you can't implement with fidelity you won't get results. Resistance and overload undermine fidelity.o   A teacher who can't manage their classroom will not be successful, no matter how good the strategies areo   If a teacher wants to get better at teaching students to read, the teacher needs this training! If the teacher is more concerned with math or classroom culture, the training will be less effective. Summarizing (The big takeaway)·      Change requires support (aligning purpose, structures, and resources)·      And growth (knowledge, skills, dispositions and health)·      The less alignment, the less effective the PD·      M=V/E·      Small changes, driven by teachers' needs and desires, are more likely to have an effective implementation that has a positive impact Close·      Leadership is a journey and thank you for choosing to walk some of this magical path with me.·      You can find links to all sorts of stuff in the show notes, including my website https://www.frederickbuskey.com/·      I love hearing from you so consider email me at frederick@frederickbuskey.com or connecting with me on LinkedIn.·      My new book, A School Leader's Guide to Reclaiming Purpose, is now available on Amazon.

What is a PLC and how do we know if we are in a PLC? Where we are all taking collective responsibility for student learning. PLC is not a time. PLC is a community. 10 Elements of principal knowledge. 
* Why is it important for school leaders to create a collaborative environment for their staff?
* What are some of the biggest challenges to creating this culture? What are some ways that you've seen to overcome these?
* Relationships - cognitive conflict effectively. Day to day practice Affective conflict is not good. Pausing, paraphrasing, posing questions 3+1 - in an environment of being in rapport with each other. Rapport is a physical expression of being in a relationship with someone. 
* Quick wins early on - Leadership team Implementation science - if you do not have the team to lead the work, you may have 14–15% implementation. Make sure you're talking with your staff about how organize for the team meeting. Make sure that teams are being effective during that time. What makes an effective team: not content, not how much they like each other. 1. Ability of members to read nonverbal cues from each other. 2. Equity of turn taking. How to be a transformative principal? How can I be most effective during the summer. Figure out a way to get your email under control.
