COLLABORATIVE TEAMING IN A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITYArizona Room

Presented by Dr. Robert Eaker and Janel KeatingFacilitator: Ellen Aste, USBA Board of Directors

In traditional schools teachers are organized to work in isolation, in spite of decades of research that demonstrates the power of collaborativeteaming. The use of collaborative teams is the fundamental organizingprinciple of a professional learning community, and the primary waywork is done in a school that has a deep, rich focus on student learning.However, the power of collaborative teams lies in what they actually do,and this session will highlight the work of effective collaborative teamsin a professional community, as well as the principal’s role in increasingthe effectiveness of each team — team by team, task by task.

ALIGNING THE WORK OF TEAMS IN A PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITYArizona Room

Presented by Dr. Robert Eaker and Janel KeatingFacilitator: Shannon Poulsen, USBA Board of Directors

Typically, districts that seek to function as professional learning communities focus their efforts on creating teacher teams. While highperforming teacher teams are a critical component, highly effective districts align the work of collaborative teams at every organizationallevel within the district. In fact, the success of teacher teams is dependent on the quality of teaming at the district and school-wide leadership levels. This session will demonstrate how successful districtscapture the power of collaborative teaming throughout the entire districtby specifically and persistently directing and modeling the work of teamsat each level within the district.
