  1. PLCs – Review from the DuFours • PLCs must be a part of what we do – • its that important! • If supervision is mandatory, then teacher time to learn & share with colleaguesmust be mandatory. • Research shows PLCs, make a big impact on student learning, however: • ~Collaboration by Invitation Doesn’t Work~ • The principal is the only person who can say: • “I direct you to change your behavior.” • The culture at the school will reflect the worst behavior the leader will tolerate.

  2. PLCs – Review from the DuFours • The most effective PLCs are made up of teachers who teach the same CONTENT • PLCs must learn together by studying research & resources BEFORE they can make informed decisions together about unit & lesson planning, assessments, or anything.

  3. PLCs – Review from the DuFours • The THREE main functions of the PLC • – they MUST agree on these items: • 1st – What content will we teach and in what order? (research standards & targets) • 2nd – How will we assess all students in our grade or course on the same content? (research & decide what questions will be on the common assessment) • 3rd – How long do we agree to spend teaching each unit, and which week will we all administer & score the common assessment? • (review scores from my classes compared to all classes – what can I learn from my colleagues); • (review student scores – which students need additional instruction based on our results).

  4. PLCs – Review from the DuFours PLC Cycle: What content? What Assessment? When to Assess & Score? What conclusions?
