10:35 - 10:45 Final discussion
- Are there any programs or ideas you can take away from your trip to the IRML that you could incorporate into your classroom/flex Friday session(s)?
- Are there design techniques, processes, or procedures that could be developed into Phoenix Project, Super Flex, etc.
Thank you!

What is a logic Model?
- A logic model is a visual representation or framework that outlines the logical connections between the various components of a program or intervention.
- It provides a systematic and structured way to understand and communicate the inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impacts of a program.
- Logic models are highly used in program evaluation. They serve as a roadmap for assessing if a program works.
How can this tool be of help?In the case of the GSLA's Induction Support Teacher and Teacher Leader Programs, a logic model could be used to:
- Help develop the capstone projects that are required for participants (Capstone - Part 2: Initial planning and outline action steps, further reflection and refinement of goal, identification of the goal metrics)
- Add an evaluative component to the capstone project (Capstone - Part 3: Review of progress, revisiting the goal and adjusting action steps)
Essential Questions
Consider individual perspectives and the larger conversation of varied points of view.
How might others see a problem or issue differently? What patterns or trends can be identified among the arguments about this issue? What are the implications and/or consequences of accepting or rejecting a particular argument? How can I connect the multiple arguments? What other issues, questions, or topics do they relate to? How can I explain contradictions within or between arguments? From whose perspective is this information being presented, and how does that affect my evaluation?
Essential Questions
Contextualize arguments and comprehend author's claims.
What strategies will help me comprehend a text? What is the main idea of the argument or artistic work, and what reasoning does the author use to develop it? What biases may the author have that influence his or her perspective? Does this argument acknowledge other perspectives? How can I assess the quality or strength of others' research, products, or artistic works?
Essential Questions
Collaborate, reflect, and communicate your arguemnt in a method suited to your audience.
How can I best appeal to and engage my audience? What is the best medium or genre through which to reach my audience? How might I adapt my written and oral presentations for different audiences and situations? How might my communication choices affect my credibility with my audience? Which revision strategies are most appropriate to developing and refining my project at different stages? How do I provide feedback that is valuable to others? How do I act upon feedback I have received? How can I benefit from reflecting on my own work?
Essential Questions
Combine knowledge, ideas, and your own perspective into an argument.
How do I connect and analyze the evidence in order to develop an argument and support a conclusion? Are there other conclusions I should consider? How does my scholarly work emerge from my perspective, design choices, or aesthetic rationale? How do I acknowledge and account for my own biases and assumptions? What is the most appropriate way to acknowledge and attribute the work of others that was used to support my argument? How do I ensure the conclusions I present are my own?
Essential Questions
Challenge and expand the boundries of your current knowledge.
What do I want to know, learn, or understand?
What questions have yet to be asked?
How does my research question shape how I go about trying to answer it?
How does my project goal shape the research or inquiry I engage in to achieve it? What information/evidence do I need to answer my research question?
