11.15am **Teacher professional learning and professional development** This can be downloaded from []
 * Discussion about professional learning and professional development - follow-up from last time we met.
 * Introduce article,Teacher Professional Learning and Development by Helen Timperley (most people would have read by now)
 * Split into groups of two. Apply an area of interest (element) to each group. Go into Leading learning wiki and work through the scenarios.
 * Feedback an 'aha' to the whole group.
 * The purpose of this activity is so that leaders can understand what Helen Timperley’s current research says about teacher professional learning and development which is shown to have positive impact on valued student outcomes. Readers will have an opportunity to have reflected on their organisational practice in relation to the Timperley research and will have greater awareness of how they might apply the 10 key principles of the research to support the ICT PD programme.
 * Unpack aspects of the teacher as [|inquiry reflective cycle] (print copy) during this session and use first word/last word strategy to discuss how this can be used in schools with teachers on this contract. How might this help with data gathering processes?
 * Some powerful questions shared in [|case study 4].
 * 1) identify the students’ learning needs and how the lesson will address those needs;
 * 2) discuss the key principles underpinning the teaching;
 * 3) discuss how they will be able to tell that students are learning what they need to learn;
 * 4) identify the teacher’s goals for their own practice and learning;
 * 5) clarify the teacher’s and facilitator’s expectations of the observation.
