Davis Collaborative Teams DCT

DCT Focus

Davis Collaborative Teams [DCT] is a program created by subject area, focused on producing gains in student learning and proofing curriculum. Participation by district personnel in these learning communities is optional but highly encouraged, and participation will eventually be expanded state-wide.

Every day you are running an experiment in your classroom with the instruction you provide.  We want to know if changes in our instruction produces learning gains.  This is a very testable question that if analyzed appropriately can lead to a better understanding of our curriculum, teaching strategies, assessment, and most importantly our students.  Sometimes we forget to follow through with the data collection, analysis, and conclusion to actually see if learning took place. This process of scientifically looking at a classroom in order to produce gains in learning is the focus of our STEM DCT groups.
 

2020-2021

Secondary content level teams will be meeting in person once a month for two hours to share ideas, discuss the new standards implementation, and add rigor and relevance to instruction. The true purpose of these groups above all else is to build relationships between teachers across their grade level. These groups will be facilitated by a grade level or content area facilitator and managed by a district level coordinator. No registration will be required, just show up!
