Learning Opportunities

The Zone 1 Regional Moving Forward With High School Redesign Collaborative Day will begin with an address from Alberta Educations Leadership Excellence Branch addressing how student centered learning is reflected in the Professional Practice Standards.  The remainder of the morning will focus on three specific questions, with:

• What does it really mean and look like to personalize learning
• How does a PBL pedagogy support the foundational principles
• Why is it important to shift the way we assess and evaluate learning when we teach in this way?

The second part of the day will provide time for school participants to engage in one focused discussion of the three areas from the morning.   The goal being to learn from one another about things other school authorities are doing well, share about the things they are doing well, hear about barriers and challenge, and think together about creative solutions others are working on.  During this time participants will have the opportunity to make personal connections with other schools for future conversations to support school plans, and share artifacts and exemplars of their work.  Participants will be grouped according to size of school first and then according to the Phase (number of years school has been involved in High School Redesign project) that their school is in with High School Redesign project.

The day will close with participants returning to their school teams and sharing back to the group what they heard or learned in their breakouts.  They will respond to the prompt: “How will we create the conditions for success in our own school redesign related to these 3 topics?”
