TEACHING AND LEARNING CONDITIONS. A. Professional Learning 1. Teachers will work collaboratively with building and district support and in alignment with the building’s school improvement plan and the district strategic plan to plan for their professional learning. 2. Building leadership teams will establish a calendar of dates and times of professional learning sessions. The calendar will be accessible to all staff within the first two weeks of the school year. Any subsequent changes will be approved by the building’s leadership team and communicated promptly to the entire staff. 3. Outcomes for professional learning will be communicated in advance of the session. 4. Data teams are intended to be teacher directed once members of a data team and the building administration mutually agree that sufficient capacity in the data team process is developed. The work of data teams will be based on student achievement data and student needs. Principals will have conversations with each data team about its capacity to be teacher directed by no later than the end of the first quarter and quarterly thereafter until agreement is reached. Data teams will be determined to have reached capacity to be teacher directed when they demonstrate the ability to work effectively as a team in analyzing data, making decisions about student needs, and developing strategies to affect student performance. Once data team capacity is developed, administrators and other support personnel (i.e. teacher leaders, district coaches, TOSAs, etc.) may continue to participate in the data team process as appropriate. 5. Data rooms and data walls will minimally include standard data sets annually determined by the district. Beyond the minimum, schools may determine additional data sets for their data walls. When administrators post student data through the use of data rooms and data walls, such data will not be readily visible in areas commonly open to members of the public. Where applicable, student data may include class make­up indicators (e.g. English language learners, truancy, special education, Individualized Learning Plans, gifted and talented, etc.).
