Hi everyone and welcome to our third
annual 2018 screencast. We haven't won an
Emmy yet, but we're thinking this may be
our year. My name is Kathe Taylor, and I'm
the Assistant Superintendent of Learning
and Teaching at OSPI. And I'm Andrew
Eyers, assistant superintendent at
Capital Region ESD 113, representing the
AESD network. Hey everybody.
For first year Fellows, this short
presentation will be new. For returning
Fellows, it will be an update and again a
reminder. But for everyone, the
information will let you know where the
road is going to take us this year. We
want you to leave today with three big
ideas: Community, Ownership, Responsibility.
If you read only the first three letters
of those words, you could say it's the
CORe of our work. In the next few minutes
we'll touch on each of these. Hey Kathe,
why is that picture there?
Well Andrew, it's because each person may
feel that their work impacts only a few
people, only one classroom, or perhaps a
single building. But in reality our
collective work has a ripple effect that
goes far beyond one person's sphere of
influence. Hear that sound?
That's the sound of rippling...rippling.
We're going to pause briefly to give you
a moment to read the slide silently to
yourself.
Like school districts and agencies, it's
important to review the mission and
vision annually. We hope you see your
work manifested through our vision of
increased student learning. Again that's
at the core that Kathe just talked about
of our work. We also want to welcome
special education, English learners, and
Career and Technical Education leaders
in our ranks. So here's a quick summary
of who is in the Fellows Network in 2018-
19. From its start, we have had English
language arts, math, science, and early
learning. We represent all areas of our
state, 220 districts and communities, and
we hold really strong numbers again this
year--over 1,100 Fellows. And I should
also mention that we now have Fellows
Emeritus, and they are out doing some
great work based on the work that
they've learned from the past three
years in each of their groups. Hey Andrew,
I know the English language arts folks
and the math folks are saying, "Wait, wait,
wait.
Science and early learning weren't there
from the start." Yeah. Yes. That's true
Kathe.
But, we have now joined with those four
other areas. Right, and we're excited to
welcome early learning back again this
year and science now in its fourth year.
So it's still playing on this, "Who are
the Fellows in 2018-19?" Here's a bar
chart that shows you the distribution
across the state. So let's take a few
minutes to orient ourselves to the
colors. In this case, red is ELA, yellow is
math, green is science, and blue is early
learning. As you look at the distribution,
what you can't see, perhaps as readily, is
that there are at least nine Fellows in
each of the content areas in each ESD.
Not surprisingly, the two content areas,
ELA and math, that have been part of the
Fellows the longest have the most
Fellows, but representation in science
and early learning isn't too shabby
either. And I have to acknowledge for at
least the second year in a row, Capital
Region ESD, formerly known as ESD 113, has
bragging rights for the highest total
number of Fellows. Although ESD 101 is
closing in fast. Andrew what ESD are you
from?
We get lots of questions about how the
network is structured, so we thought it
was important again this year to remind
you how the network works internally to
support your learning and the learning
of all of the cohorts around the state.
There are two things you should notice
about this chart. We'd first like you to
find your content area that's across the
very top boxes. And then as you look down,
you're going to see columns that explain
how the network functions. So I'll take
science, since I am the science champion.
We have science Fellows. Then there are
regional science coordinators. Each of
them leads a group of science Fellows.
And then there's a science Fellows lead
that is one of our regional science
coordinators. And then those people
all come together several times a year,
and they make up what's called the
Fellows advisory committee. We join with
OSPI and the AESD Network to provide
leadership to the full state network. So
just to summarize, we have regional
coordinators, one at each ESD. Each
content area has a Fellows lead. There
are four Fellows leads. And the Fellows
leads work with the leadership at OSPI
and the Association of Educational
Service Districts. We're all part of the
Fellows Advisory Committee. And Kathe and
I are actually part of that Fellows
Advisory Committee, as well. The bottom
line here is, if you're a Fellow and you
have a question, we want you to contact
your regional coordinator. They really
have all the answers.
So now we've talked a little bit about
how many Fellows there are, how they're
represented across the state, how the
system works for leading the Fellows
network,
now we want to talk a little bit about
why the Fellows network is important. The
network is focused on developing your
professional learning and instructional
leadership. The Fellows Advisory
Committee adopted a single leadership
development framework. It's called the
concerns-based adoption model or
affectionately known as C-BAM. And we
adopted that in all areas, so we would
have a common language. If we're going to
make a difference in improving student
learning and decreasing opportunity gaps,
we need to empower more educators like
you to lead change within your classroom,
school, organization, and community. It's
why we're making this investment. If we
can help you build your knowledge and
leadership skills, then you can help us
reach more teachers, more students, and
more community members.
So let's go back to the beginning of
this presentation and that drop of water.
We told you we wanted you to think about
three big ideas--community, ownership, and
responsibility--again core, and the core
of our work. Just as we said last year, we
want you to understand that you're part
of a regionally-based, statewide network
of educators. You are part of a state and
AESD initiative that has grown
considerably in just a few years. We want
to welcome or welcome you back to that
community, and we also really hope you
have a sense of ownership. The Washington
State Fellows Network is invested in
your professional learning. It's
important that you then take ownership
for that learning and make these years
count. And finally, we hope you leave with
a sense of responsibility to pay it
forward.
The Fellows network will help you expand
your instructional leadership skills so
that you can widen the circle of
learning by sharing it with others.
Please keep the learning going with your
colleagues back home. If you don't take
that learning back, we all lose. We don't
leverage the power of the network, and we
don't scale up to increase student
achievement. So we're counting on that,
and we're counting on you. Thanks for
your attention, and now we'll turn the
presentation over to the regional
coordinators. We know you're in good
hands.
Thank you.
