Professional Learning Systems: Internet Sites

Even though this web site is intended to be a "field-tested professional development tool kit designed to help middle school leadership teams and teachers elevate classroom instruction and improve student outcomes", chances are study teams across the grade levels can benefit from the information.

This website presents the work of educators committed to new ways of looking at student work, focusing on small samples of student work, reflecting on important questions about teaching and learning and using structures and guidelines ("protocols") for looking at and talking about student work.

This web site creates transformational learning communities that are fiercely committed to educational equity and excellence. Here you will be able to find protocols and supporting materials for use in your collaborative learning groups and professional learning communities. On this web page you will find a lengthy list of protocols for each of the following scenarios: Learning from Work, Learning from Dilemmas, Learning from Texts and Learning from School and Classroom Visits.
