Outline for Presentation:

Introduction:

We all disperse to different parts of the room

Music Playing: *[insert name here]* (add any titles if you have ideas - otherwise, I'm picking something from the 80s! Dancing "Women" *[insert name here]* will lead us off by starting to dance at the front of the room, then [Molly] will be our "early adopter" the rest of us will join in. Cut music in (30 seconds?) Who will cut the music? 30 seconds is plenty.

Micheline - Draws the connection between our "Dancing Man" intro and leads us into the SPELLING GAME (do I have this in the right order - or does the YES, AND explanation come first?)

Micheline - Introduces the concept of YES, AND

We all share our "Ah ha! moments of our process this year, which coincide (or not) with the following principles of improv: (Grab any ones you want - I think we can have more than one person sharing for the principles, or if your principle doesn't fit, don't sweat it - just put down what you intend to say):

LISTEN:Heidi

RISK: Kimberly

TRUST: Linda - Need to trust that being in a learning community will help you be a connected learner.

MAKE THE OTHER PERSON LOOK GOOD: Molly

Final Game: Micheline leads us

= = = = = = = = = = = **"Let go of the concrete and embrace the trampoline!" (Alysa Nolen)** = __**Questions:**__

Some people may ask after the survey, "Now that we have the results, what are the next steps?" How do we respond?

__**Ideas:**__


 * 1) 1--Molly could start just talking very straight and be very boring...and then we could have Linda interrupt, and then we could all introduce ourselves in a funny way like that.


 * 1) 2--Improv with a game for our presentation --Micheline will lead this.

__**POSTER IDEAS:**__

Create a wordle to show part of our profile based on the survey!
 * 1) 1--Show profile of our learners and then the inferences we made based on the survey...what are their needs and how can we help?


 * 1) 2--We need a "Myths to Disspell" part of our poster

__**SURVEY INFERENCES so far:**__

People need to feel safe and like sharing and learning with others they feel comfortable with.

It looks like we are a group of diverse learners.

We are also realizing that we want to offer mentors, contact people that teachers could go to to get help--we need to see what our survey tells us that we need help with.

__**NEXT STEPS FOR ACTION RESEARCH:**__
 * Look at scale**
 * ---depth, sustainability, spread, and shift (people that are being impacted by it, buy into it. They become changers and co-creators), and then finally-evolution**

Gather baseline data that tells you something about where you are currently Make inferences about the data Create an implementation plan. How will you know you are successful Implement Gather artifacts of data Make inferences Reflect upon success Tweak your work and repeat
