What is Professional Learning for Leaders?
One of WhyMaker's Professional Development Styles comes in as Professional Learning for Leaders.
WhyMaker will work with leaders in professional learning communities to identify their role in building a robust STEM culture on their campus. Great for Educators wanting to become LEADERS.
What You Will Receive
Understanding your role
Leaders will understand their role as a connector, supporter, and integrator. Leaders will develop a set of ‘look fors’ when informally or formally observing STEM classrooms.
Build Connections
Leaders will build local STEM community connections that integrate into school projects and career conversations. Leaders will learn language that encourages educators to expand their STEM teaching. Leaders will learn how STEM can be integrated across grade levels and content areas.
All of this will be piled into a Professional Learning Community (PLC) with 6, one hour sessions, containing a maximum of 10 educators in a virtual or in person environment.
Job Embedded Coaching
WhyMaker will implement a 3 step, non-evaluative, STEM instructional coaching cycle. Coaching and lesson development and feedback will focus on the theme. A trainer and educator will co-plan lessons, then co-teach the lesson together and then discuss the successes and areas of improvements with the lesson.
WhyMaker trainers will become invested in the well being of the educators and the students in the class, ensuring that all students receive equitable and high quality STEM instruction. Teachers really excel from this type of professional learning because it helps them with their specific needs at the moment.
Workshops
Allow teachers to practice with a new STEM tool or technology in a low pressure environment. The pressure of the work day schedule is lifted and educators can dive into hands-on practice with tools and technologies becoming comfortable and confident exploring and learning all about it. WhyMaker will also tie learning back to the theme chosen for this learning experience.
A specific STEM technology, robot, electronics toy, coding platform, construction set, or other tool needs to be chosen and available for use (we can make recommendations), 2 - 8 hours, 100 teachers max, virtual or in person. Great for after hours and summer professional learning opportunities.
