TPL Plan- Describe what your team intends doing with the TPL days using the following prompt questions as a guide. ** The three schools identified have individual approaches and structures to support development of teacher capacity. While varied they share a high capacity to model excellence and willingness to openly reflect on and explore best practice. The e5 will be integral to all work undertaken in this program. Teams in schools will review current teaching using the e5 model in view of designing and implementing rigorous and rich tasks that effectively integrate ICT and build on the skills, knowledge and dispositions required for successful 21C learners. School teams will form a **Virtual** **Learning Community** (VLC) to support, enhance and challenge the professional learning of each member and the team as a whole. The purpose and aim of the VLC is to explore “teachers as learners” through a virtual collaborative community. The core element of this community is to develop a shared and common understanding of the e5 model and PoLT whilst exploring and developing skills that constitutes an effective 21stC learning culture. This will be engendered by using a “Leading conversations about teacher practice” entry point adapted from example 5 of the e5 manual. The community will build on current practice through face to face meetings and online interaction to develop instructional leadership. These may include but are not limited to; learning walks, shared instruction, mentoring and reflection. The e5 model will provide a common language for professional conversations around teacher practice in the 21stC environment. The VLC  will empower the team to explore what pedagogical practice and professional learning looks like in a 21st Century context by: establishing shared norms, developing meta-cognitive capacity, prompting inquiry, presenting new content, developing language and literacy, facilitating substantive conversation and cultivating the higher order thinking of teachers. It will allow teachers to experience the transformative potential of social Web tools by re-envisioning personal professional learning practice.
