What is the Governor’s Teacher Network?
• A talented group of 450 outstanding teachers were selected from 1400 applicants for 2014-15.
• Teachers identify novative digital instructional resources and design professional development to support key Race to the Top initiatives in Home Base.
• Network Teachers continue their current educator roles in their schools and districts and serve in one of two pathways.
What is theGovernor’s Teacher Network?
Pathway 1 Teachers: Professional Development
• Identify problems of practice around instructional needs and conduct action research projects in their schools.
• Investigate and analyze the effectiveness of strategies and practices on student learning.
• Create professional development sessions and materials to be posted in Schoolnet and the Professional Development System in Home Base.
What is Pathway 2?
Pathway 2 Teachers : Instructional Resources
– Create instructional sequences for Home Base aligned to the NC Standard Course of Study (unit plans, lesson plans, assessment components).
– Produce resources available to all NC teachers through Schoolnet in Home Base.
Action Research
Systematic inquiry conducted by teachers and other educators to find solutions for critical, challenging, relevant issues in their classrooms and schools.
Mills, Geoffrey E, Action Research: A Guide for the Teacher Researcher, 2014
Pathway 1: Action ResearchClassroom and school research conducted by teachers to:
•Positively impact student outcomes.
•Identify problems of practice and promote effective instructional strategies.
•Create opportunities for teachers to become reflective practitioners.

Mills, Geoffrey E, Action Research: A Guide for the Teacher Researcher, 2014
Problems of Practice
•Discuss with your table partners hinderances that you encounter within your classroom situation that detour student engagement.
•As a table comprise a list of these hinderances.
•Display your list on the wall.
•Take a gallery walk. Notice lists from other groups, are there similar hinderances?
Action Research Focus
My action research focuses on structuring thereading block for successful studentengagement that:
Captures the student’s interest, Teaches student-led managment of time on
task behaviors and Encourages and promotes mastery of skills.
Action Research Plan
Created a collaborative learning enviroment that is:
student friendly allows for student conversation and
movement scaffolded for success includes time for leveled instruction and progress monitoring of student growth

Scope of Work•Problem: lack of time for leveled instruction and progress
monitoring.
•Progress monitoring is the key to meeting students where they are and taking them to where they need to be for success.
•All teachers benefit from implementation these strategies and structures. The overall result is student growth mastery of skills, and student engagement.
•Students benefit from cooperative grouping with confidence, collaboration, and 21st century skills that lead to success in the work place.
Nonnegotiables
•Classroom rules that are student originated.
•A classroom management system that is clearly
understood and visible.
•A rotation chart that is clearly understood,
visible, and user friendly.
•Activities that lead to student success and self
management.
•Consistency in routine and consequences for
noncompliance.

Example of a rotation chart
All supplies are common property. Every two
students share a tool basket with everything
needed for engagement. All centers have all
necessary supplies provided.
Students have a specific work areas and separate
whole group areas within the classroom.
For every task there is a process that is pre-taught and
held to expectations.
Activity
•Participants will engage in following the rotation chart for five center activities.
•These activity centers will last for five minutes each. During this time participants will comprise a list of questions, comments, and ideas for implementation.
•As participants rotate between the centers grade levels will be pulled to meet with the presenter to simulate leveled groups. During this time participants may share questions the presenter.
