Greenbank Intermediate School

NPDL - Greenbank I.S. - Year 1

• Spring 2014 - Ready for change - Desire to Dismantle Dysfunctional Computer Lab

•Fall 2014 - Introduction to NPDL - SOI recognized fertile ground - NEW Admin - Dennis Paré

•Willingness to invest in “Life After Labs” - B&LT Vision supported through TLF Funds

•Some Challenging Fixed Mindset - “This is BS!” & Less than supportive Parent Council

•High motivation for more tech but not for pedagogical shift - Initiative Fatigue

•NPDL brought many initiatives together - 6 Activators & Principal as Lead Learner

•NPDL as School Learning Plan - Senior Staff support was important

•Jan./Feb. 2015 - NPDL & Digital Access & Mobility - P.R. Blitz through Newsletters etc.

•Deep Learning Task Exemplar Completed - Karsten Gitter

•Teacher labour dispute & job action hinders shift in teacher practice until Dec. 2015

• Importance of “front loading” & planning the entire task with NPDL tools & Rubrics with

concurrent & consistent Pedagogical Documentation vs. last minute fabrication

• Increased awareness of Collaborative Inquiry and planning cycle

• Parent Council - beliefs evolved to support NPDL &

deep use of mobile & projection technologies

• Informal discussions & collegial collaborations were very effective

• NPDL 6Cs & Learning Progressions well used

• Rubrics and protocols were used less often in the schools

• NPDL Deep learning Hub - limited access

• Capacity Team used tools, rubrics & protocol to measure and Collect Data

• Capacity Team used tools, rubrics & protocols to frame facilitations, collaborative planning sessions and for task moderation
