Sorry that I have not blogged lately, I'm excited to share that I've been working with several central office teams and schools fostering a culture of collaboration for supporting student success.  Below is a summary of the collaborative work being done throughout MNPS.
  • Pre-K Department--Collaborating with the Pre-K department to develop a program effectiveness plan, which will guide the decision making and implementation of early learning throughout MNPS.  To learn more about that work, go to: www.mnpscollaboration.org/mnps-early-learning-jan-2018.html
  • Lakeview Elementary--Dr. Claire Jasper is using the collaborative inquiry process with her leadership team and eventually individual teachers when using data to make informed decisions for supporting student success.  To learn more about that work, go to: www.mnpscollaboration.org/lakeview-elementary-jan-2018.html
  • Wright Middle--This time of year signals the start of planning for next year.  Dr. Sharada Deaton used the collaborative inquiry process to engaged staff in a data dive that informed recommended school improvement plan goals for 2018-2019.  To learn more about that work, go to: www.mnpscollaboration.org/wright-ms-sip-process-jan-2018.html
  • Cane Ridge High--Rhonda Bledsoe, Dean of Students, is using the collaborative inquiry process for having student data chats.  During the data chats, students complete a #goalgetter sheet that she uses to follow up with them every couple of weeks.  To check out that work, go to:  www.mnpscollaboration.org/cane-ridge-hs-student-data-chats-jan-2018.html
  • Antioch Middle--Dr. Celia Conley invited me on two different occasions. 
    • The first meeting was a full staff faculty meeting where the collaborative inquiry process was used to analyze the Panorama culture survey and develop recommendations for spring 2018. 
    • The second occasion was all day team meetings where the collaborative inquiry process was used to analyze achievement, attendance, and behavior data.  Each team developed action plans for the remainder of the year. 
    • In March, Antioch Middle administration will be having teacher data chats.  To learn more about the work at Antioch MS, go to: www.mnpscollaboration.org/antioch-middle-spring-2018.html
  • Whites Creek High--Dr. James Bailey, invited me to a faculty meeting where the collaborative inquiry process was used to have staff analyzing attendance, achievement, and behavior data to make recommendations for the supporting student success for the remainder of the school year.  To check out that work, go to: www.mnpscollaboration.org/whites-creek-hs-feb-2018.html

Collaboration is the Answer.....

2/7/2018

This week, I received a link to an article by Learning Forward with the title, "Collaboration is the answer" (Hirsch & Crow, 2018).  Since my work is around fostering a culture of collaboration, I had to stop and read it (https://learningforward.org/publications/blog/learning-forward-blog/2018/01/30/collaboration-is-the-answer).

The thing I like best about this article is it recognizes the complex issues being faced by today's educators; hence, the reason for collaboration.  If one person knew the answer to the problem, then it would already be solved.  “No generation of educators in the history of the United States has ever been asked to do so much for so many” (DuFour & Marzano, 2011, p. 5).  The answer to beginning to support all student success is through collaboration.

The MNPS collaborative inquiry process provides a meeting structure and equips facilitators with group dynamic strategies for ensuring that meetings are productive, efficient, and honors the professional expertise in the room.  As Albert Einstein said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."  Collaborative inquiry allows the best thinking to rise to the top for addressing issues that are hindering our success.

To see MNPS schools and organizations using collaborative inquiry, please check out the Workshop Warehouse.

If you would like to share a story about collaborative inquiry or interested in assistance, please contact Margie Johnson at margie.johnson@mnps.org.

Collaboration Spotlight: Margaret Allen Middle Using Collaborative Inquiry with Panorama Data

1/30/2018

Research indicates the impact that culture has upon organizations.  Of course, defining and measuring culture can be difficult.  This year, MNPS is using  Panorama Education's Feedback survey to collect data from teachers and students about our culture.


Kisha Cox, Executive Principal of Margaret Allen Middle, used the student and teacher survey results to have her staff provide recommendations for improving culture during Spring 2018.  Using the collaborative inquiry process, teachers made observations of the data.  The recommendations were generated in groups using the traffic light protocol (Lipton & Wellman, 2012).

If you would like to read more about their work, please go to: www.mnpscollaboration.org/margaret-allen-middle-jan-2018-culture-and-climate.html

If you and/or your staff would like more information about the collaborative inquiry process and how it supports student success, please contact Margie Johnson at margie.johnson@mnps.org.

Collaboration Spotlight: Two Rivers Middle Culture and Climate Data Dive

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast." ~Peter Drucker
Picture
This quote summarizes the importance of culture in an organization.  On December 12, 2017, Dr. Shelly Dunaway, Executive Principal at Two Rivers Middle, and her staff used the collaborative inquiry process to analyze culture and climate data for informing culture and climate change at Two Rivers Middle.

The meeting began with a strategy called visual synectic.  In this strategy, two seemingly unalike ideas are compared.  It is  an excellent brainstorming activity and helps develop psychological safety at the beginning of the meeting.  For this meeting, staff members engaged in a conversation about "culture is like Walt Disney World because...."

After activating and engaging staff members in the conversation about culture, the staff participated in the culture and climate data dive.  During the data dive, staff members were asked to make observations of the following culture and climate data sets:
  • SEL Walkthrough Data and Rubric
  • Teacher Panorama Data
  • Student Panorama Data

The observations were organized and integrated using the Traffic Light protocol (Lipton & Wellman, 2012) to discuss what might be some next steps to stop, continue, and start for Spring 2018.

In 2016, Metro Government hired Robyn Mace as the city's chief data officer.  As chief data officer, she is working to improve the way Metro government departments collect, store, analyze, and disseminate data.  One of her strategies is to convene monthly Metro Data Coordinator meetings where various Metro Government departments share their best practices around data.

On November 16, 2017, Margie Johnson and Brad Redmond shared MNPS' Data-Informed Decision Making Ecosystem and how it was used to improve how MNPS uses attendance data for making informed decisions.  To teach participants about the heart of the ecosystem, which is a culture of collaborative inquiry, participants engaged in the collaborative inquiry process by looking at attendance data and making recommendations for improving it.  Using this process, data conversations were fostered and several departments approached us about having continued conversations for supporting student success.

Collaboration Spotlight: MNPS Exceptional Education Department

I have been fortunate to be on a learning journey with the MNPS Exceptional Education Department.  This fall, we have been using the collaborative inquiry process to use multiple sources of data to inform their work for supporting student success throughout MNPS.  This learning journey is an  example of leveraging professional expertise to support student success. 

During the first session on September 20th, coaches worked in an assigned expert group and used a fishbone analysis to identify root issues.  After a gallery walk for feedback from the entire group, each group identified one root issue to focus on this semester.

In the second meeting on October 18th, expert groups participated in a data dive to inform their work.  Multiple sources of data was used to inform the creation of action plans for their respective root issue.

On November 15th, the groups convened to share their action plans.  A critical friends protocol was used for feedback.  Teams then had time to finish the creation of their plans, which will be presented to the MNPS Exceptional Education leadership team, and implemented next year.

Collaboration Spotlight: Pre-K Family Involvement Specialists

On October 30th, the Pre-K Family Involvement Specialists had a retreat.  Marianna Merritt invited me to facilitate a session where the collaborative inquiry process was used to inform how family engagement can support student success.
The session began with an Activating and Engaging activity called Looking Back...Looking Ahead (Lipton & Wellman, 2011) where participants shared how family involvement in schools has changed from the past to now and then their vision for future family involvement.
For the Exploring and Discovering part of the collaborative inquiry process, a jigsaw strategy was used to have the family involvement specialists read their assigned pages of Parents 2017: Unleashing Their Power and Potential (Learning Heros, 2017) to identify 3 A's plus one (Lipton and Wellman, 2011).  This protocol has them identify one ting with which you agree, argue, and aspire.  Then, the plus one is an insight gleaned from the sharing.
Picture
We Organized and Integrated the observations using the Traffic Light protocol (Lipton & Wellman, 2011) to discuss actions to stop, continue, and start.
Wonderful engagement and ideas were generated from this session.
