Online Resources Update

As a follow up to our hybrid streaming event on October 15th, I wanted to share some related online resources to support our work moving forward.  Please note that the access for some of these resources has changed.

The Global PD Solution Provides job-embedded PD by giving teachers access to the largest library of PLC videos and books in the world. Videos are less than 20 minutes, and books can be browsed by chapter to accommodate your team's busy schedules. Teams can refresh their knowledge of PLCs from experts like Richard DuFour, Rebecca DuFour, Robert Eaker, Mike Mattos, and others.

To access PLC Global PD Solutions:

• Go to https://www.solutiontree.com/
• On the menu bar at the top of the page, go to "Global PD" and drop down to 'Sign into Global PD' 
• Email: joellen.latham@southeastpolk.org

Please contact me or members of the curriculum team if you are interested in a professional development session to support use of the Global PD Solution.

The Marzano Compendium of Instructional Strategies is an online resource for teachers, instructional coaches, teacher mentors, and administrators. Using The New Art and Science of Teaching framework, the Marzano Compendium presents 10 categories of instructional elements. Each of the 43 elements has a number of strategies associated with it. In total, there are 332 instructional strategies presented.

Ten brief videos summarize the categories and provide an overview of the framework. Additionally, 43 videos of Dr. Marzano explaining each element provide more detail and allow educators to thoughtfully select growth goals. Each element includes a summary of the research supporting its effectiveness, detailed descriptions of the strategies associated with it, and downloadable print resources that offer classroom examples, reproducible pages, and scales that teachers can use to rate themselves on each element.

The Marzano Compendium offers a convenient, easy-to-navigate resource that combines and updates content from Dr. Marzano’s most popular titles, including The New Art and Science of Teaching, Becoming a Reflective Teacher, and Coaching Classroom Instruction.
