Call to Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\nTo ensure that the implementation of blended learning is successful, we must provide teachers with quality alternative professional development<\/a>. This type of professional development is engaging, collaborative, and specific to teachers\u2019 needs. Through teacher-led collaboration, teachers can explore creativity through choice, ownership, voice, and authenticity<\/a>, allowing them a first-hand experience in which they can relate to the students and grant them a similar opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/leticiateach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/call-to-action-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C691&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nProfessional Learning Blueprint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We divided our Alternative Professional Learning<\/a> into two phases. Phases 1 Building Background Knowledge is to inform and bring awareness of the new pilot. Within this phase, the purpose, call-to-action, and we share blended learning information with administration and staff administrators and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPhase 2 is when we put our plan into action. In the implementation phase participating teachers will create a blended learning environment in the classroom. After teachers have begun implementing Blended Learning, they will continue receiving ongoing support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As time progressed, teachers could share their strengths and work towards strengthening their weaknesses. Teachers will also share areas of success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To implement the plan<\/a>, I proposed to the administration the need for disruptive innovation and the purpose of creating a Blended Learning environment. Once approved, we made a blending learning team that included math and reading coaches, an instructional technologist specialist, and a blending learning leader. We used the Call of Action video to introduce it to teachers. Teachers will know that a growth mindset is essential for students and themselves. Teachers collaborated with teams about personal growth mindset<\/a> and how to incorporate it in the classroom. Educators looked at their grade level and content TEKS<\/a> to align blending learning activities to the curriculum. We set up BHAG \/ WIG as a team based on student needs. After each PLC, teachers will fill out a Blending Learning Support Google form<\/a> where they will input their areas or strengths and weaknesses. The google forms we designed are useful because teachers need support and feedforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAudience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Adjusting to change is not manageable and can be overwhelming. I have made this learning process simple for all ELA teachers and Reading Specialists on my campus. There is no need to rush this new learning approach, but teachers must accept and embrace this change. I will be there every step of this journey. I will reassure them and offer learning support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Foster Collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To foster collaboration, teachers will receive support from curriculum coaches or Blending Learning Leaders; they can also utilize their professional learning community for additional support. Teachers will be able to observe each other and provide feedforward with Glows and Growth. Teachers will be able to collaborate during PLC and conference time and will be encouraged to pair collaborate. Educators can adjust their lessons according to their student’s learning abilities and provide an authentic learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To foster collaboration, teachers will access all resources in the teacher HUB and request additional support from curriculum coaches or Blending Learning Leader. Teachers will be able to observe each other and provide feedforward with Glows and Growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every organizational field has some form of professional development, whether healthcare, hospitality, business, or education. Corporate leaders are always trying to find ways to help develop their employees. However, unlike in other fields, an educator\u2019s purpose is to educate and inspire students to learn. A truly effective teacher must create a significant learning environment where students can develop their learning, use their imagination and explore their passions. Students are not the only ones who must learn. Teachers also need an opportunity to build and grow in a significant learning environment. By providing teachers with meaningful professional learning in the area of blended learning, they will be able to use 21st-century skills to increase student engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The impact of technology forces us to change how we learn. As a teacher, we need the skills of self-management, active learning, and flexibility. In PL meetings, we will have the opportunity to develop the ability of Self Directed Learning -a strategic and self-reflective learning process where the teacher takes the initiative to diagnose learning needs, formulate goals and identify the necessary resources to learn. One strategy to implement in PL meetings is encouraging teachers to set goals for themselves, providing them with the help and support required to reach the established goals. I will also implement the COVA approach, where teachers have choice, ownership, and voice in an authentic learning environment. Another strategy to implement is self-assessment through Google Forms to know responsibly and honestly that I am doing well. What do I need to improve? And so make changes to be successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers will identify their areas of strength and interests and will become experts in that area. The experts will be the go-to person for their area of strength and model and help other teachers implement that strategy or technological application. Blending Learning Leaders, Curriculum coaches, and administration will help guide teachers along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
