Hi! This is Kathleen. I am nervous but excited for this project!Kfranzen (talk) 01:03, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi - this is Sarah Hackett. My username is shackett2. I'm planning to create an article on Teacher Led Schools: schools that are led by a democracy or committees of teachers rather than by one or a a team of administrators. My experiences have led me to a number of examples, research, and resources on the topic, and it's something I feel people should know about. I look forward to seeing what everyone else will do!

Hi-- this is Anne Marie Werley-Gonzalez. I thought I wanted to create a wikipedia entry on loose coupling but after this week's readings, I'm more interested in Networked Improvement Communities. Are we each supposed to have our own talk pages, or will we when we start writing? Anne Marie W-G (talk) 03:07, 12 February 2015 (UTC)Anne Marie W-G

Hello, Kathleen here! I am planning to edit the page for Flipped Classrooms. At this time I am working alone, but if you are passionate about the topic, feel free to let me know. This is a new area of research for me, so I'd be happy to chat if you have found compelling research / study in the area.Kfranzen (talk) 13:34, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello, everyone! Thank you all who have posted here about their topics. Its nice to see activity happening here. I look forward to seeing all of you guys post something here. Trawat (talk) 06:37, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Hey---This is Katie Miller. Sorry for the delay! I am going to be working with Carrie to produce a page on PBIS: Positive Behavior Inventions and Supports. I am hoping you will be able to show use some examples of what each step looks like because I am such a visual learner. It seems daunting right now but I am way more excited to do this than a lit review! KMiller23 (talk) 14:02, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello Everyone, As Katie said above, we will be working together to create a page on PBIS and maybe a little CRPBIS thrown in. I am scared about this project, and I am glad I now have Katie to work with me! :)Hirsca (talk) 01:39, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi there- This is Kelsey. I am excited to be working on a peer coaching page. I am interested in linking this page with instructional coaching and any other pages that it may relate to. KSchmit (talk) 00:27, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi - this is Sarah Hackett. I'm planning to create an article on Teacher Leadership. This will include a number of sections including: Teacher Led Schools / Teacher Cooperatives / link to Julie's distributed leadership / link to Kelsey's peer coaching. Shackett2 (talk) 01:07, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

This is Katie Schmitt. I will be working on Educator Effectiveness. I hope to focus more on how this is done in general. Schmittkr17 (talk) 23:08, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Outline
Hi Ellen - can you take a shot at this first paragraph? I think that the intro paragraph will help set up the rest of the article... Rich

Please let me know if you would like a more extensive outline.


 * Intro paragraph
 * Goals of social justice leadership
 * All students must reach proficiency, no exceptions
 * Proportional representation
 * Equity audits - data
 * Bringing services to students
 * Location of services
 * Compare to RTI
 * Responsibility lies with classroom teacher
 * Staff allocation
 * Reduce class size
 * Reallocate student services staff to classrooms
 * All staff responsible for supporting academic growth
 * Students with disabilities
 * Dual certification in special education & general education
 * Support students with significant needs in flexible inclusive environments
 * English Language Learners
 * DLI vs. bilingual vs. ESL
 * DLI allows quality language instruction and proportional representation

Julie Robison, Distributed Leadership
Hi Julie - take a shot at what the first paragraph might be...I think that you are ready to move ahead with this.

I. Lead section: Clear definition - what it is and what it isn't

II. Main section

1. brief history on research on leadership that brought about a different understanding of leadership

2. other key concepts that inform distributed leadership:

- social distribution of leadership (leaders, followers) - situational distribution of leadership (artifacts, routines) (you can probably take these out...) communities of practice
 * distributed cognition
 * basic vocabulary
 * tasks, social, situational
 * leaders, followers, situation, tasks, routines, artifacts

(I don't think you'll need section 3) 3. Use of DL framework as an analytic tool


 * DL Leadership Study
 * professional community
 * CALL
 * distributed leadership & social network analysis
 * link with design

4. Different versions distributed leadership
