BLT Training
BLT is a research-based professional development model designed to transform professional learning in schools.
It is based on three of the twelve standards developed by the National Staff Development Council (http://www.nsdc.org)
The BLT process weaves these three standards into an on-going learning process that is designed to engage all educators in a school and district in a collaborative, data-driven, reflection experience aimed at improving classroom practice and student learning.
Learning Communities Staff development that
improves the learning for all students organizes adults into learning communities whose goals are aligned with those
of the school and district.
Data-DrivenStaff development that improves the learning for all students uses
disaggregated student data to determine adult learning
priorities, monitor progress, and help sustain continuous
improvement.
Research-Based
Staff development that improves learning for all students
prepares educators to apply research to decision-making.
Self AssessmentLook at the three Desired Outcomes for Learning
Communities. At which level do you think you and your colleagues fall? Discuss your “starting level” with your team. Think about how you might move along the continuum of levels. What action steps would be required?
Do the same for the Desired Outcomes for the other two standards—Data-Driven and Research-Based.
Step into the BLT Team ProcessThe vision of this leadership team process is to meet the
individual needs of schools.
1. The team attends BLT Leadership Trainings prior to each scheduled in-service.
2. At each BLT training session, presenters share information and model strategies based on district-wide goals.
3. The BLT Team takes the information learned at each training session, plans and organizes the best way to introduce the information to their staff - building specific.
Step into the BLT Process4. Planning time is given during the BLT training.
5. The BLT Team trains their entire staff during each of the district’s in-service days.
The BLT Team process is research-based and correlates with effective professional development models proven to enhance student achievement.

Advantages of Teachers Working in Teams
Develop more creative solutions to complex problems
Reduces isolation among teachersBuilds commitment and support for new ideasFosters collective responsibility for students’
successMore successful at implementing complex plansClosest to the work and know best how to improve
teaching and learningProvides possibilities for empowerment that are
not available for individuals
Structures for Collaborative Work Groups (CWGs)
Horizontal groups by grade levelVertical teams by subject area Interdisciplinary groupsPersonal interest in working on a particular
goalGroups with common planning timesGroups formed around the needs of studentsSelf-selection around a certain topicOthers
Collaborative Workgroups
Break To create a professional learning community, focus on learning rather than teaching, work collaboratively, and hold yourself accountable for results.

The best thing to invest in right now is collegiality. The number one skill that teachers need is to be team-based, collegial, sharing their knowledge and wisdom.

Teams get results. --Katzenbach and Smith
