Post an analysis of the math team meeting in the media segment and one of the team learning scenarios in the Becoming a Learning School Team Learning Scenario Task. Include an explanation of two or more characteristics of effective professional learning communities that you observed in each. Then, share your hopes and fears related to implementing this type of collaborative learning at your school.
n order to support professional development efforts, you will need to recognize the characteristics of effective collaborative professional learning and build your awareness of the fears and hopes participants may have when beginning a collaborative learning and working experience.
Your Becoming a Learning School course text includes a CD with various tools and activities that you will be able to use to support the growth and development of collaborative professional learning. For this Discussion, you will engage in two of these activities with your Walden colleagues.
If you have not already done so, read through Scenarios 1–4 in Tool 2.1, “Team Learning Scenario Task” on the Becoming a Learning School CD. Also bring to mind this week’s Stults Road Elementary media segment. As you review the scenarios and the math team meeting in the media segment, note attributes of collaborative professional learning and the six research-based dimensions of professional learning communities described by Dr. Shirley Hord in this week’s “Professional Learning Communities” article.
Then, similarly to the activity described in Tool 2.3, “Collaborative Learning: Fears and Hopes,” identify the fears, concerns, or worries and the advantages or hopes that come to mind when you think about implementing collaborative learning in your school/district.
Not only will this assignment be a great resource for you and for the school system you are working with, but this assignment will also help you build technology skills that will be assessed in the Major Assessment completed in Week 8. Additionally, this website will carry over to other courses in the program as you continue to build your knowledge and develop expertise as a leader of professional development.
There are several ways you can publish and share the information based on your specific situation. Find a website application and template that is compatible with your personal service provider as well as one that can be also used by the school system that you are working with. Make certain to read supplemental development material. Visit optional websites to find tips on website development, access for those with disabilities, and professional and ethical considerations. Your website will be reviewed for these components. Use the Technology Infusion Matrix to guide your work.

Discuss the ways in which “The Wind in the Willows” and “Peter and Wendy” demonstrate that fantasy literature can be useful for children in ways other than simple entertainment. (Try to find a means of connecting these texts through your thesis and argument, to avoid having two mini-essays).
Ensure that all quotations are pertinent, adequately introduced and well integrated. Base your analysis on your own reading of the novels in question; the essay should be the product of each individual’s own application and reading. Any significant ideas or secondary material obtained elsewhere should be acknowledged as such to avoid the possibility of academic fraud. Be sure that your essay has a central argument (your thesis) that drives it.
