2021 Deep Dive Dr Peter Dewitt

2021 Deep Dive
Developing Teacher Leadership: Creating Practice Out of Theory

In order for teachers to engage in high impact strategies that will result in a deeper impact on student learning, they must understand the role of self-efficacy and collective efficacy in order to dive into greater dialogue with colleagues about how to foster those strategies. DeWitt will take the research behind student engagement and dive deeper into five areas he has found crucial to engaging in deeper practices. The deep dive involves focusing on a focus of learning, instructional strategies, student engagement, efficacy, and evaluation of impact. This session will focus on research and practice, as well as  offer participants strategies they can use when they get to the classroom.

Participants will learn:
  • Where to focus their attention when it comes to learning and using knowledge dimension research
  • The research around student engagement that leads to alienation, and what we can do about it.
  • How to lead through discussions that focus on high leverage instructional strategies, and use those strategies to model instruction during staff meetings
  • The role of efficacy in leadership practices. Whether it’s self-efficacy, leader self-efficacy or collective leader efficacy, we will focus on using the research to guide our discussions of learning, race and student engagement to help defy the myths behind them.
  • How to collect evidence of impact
Target Audience: Teacher leaders, instructional coaches, head teachers, school administrators
