  3. WHAT IS A PLC? IT’S NOT: • A workshop • A book study • A program • A meeting

  4. WHAT DOES A PLC LOOK LIKE? • Our school is a PLC broken into teams. • We have a shared mission, vision, values and goals.

  5. Collaborative teams focused on LEARNING

  6. THEBIGIDEAS OF PLC! • We accept learningas our purpose. • Examine allpractices that are best for learning. • Build a collaborative culture through high performing teams. • Assessour effectivenesson the basis of results, not intentions! • Did they learn? How do we know?

  7. WHY SHOULD WE COLLABORATE? • Gains in student achievement • Higher quality solutions to problems • Increase confidence among all staff • More peer support of strengths and accommodation of weaknesses • Ability to test new ideas • More support for new teachers • Expanded pull of ideas, materials, and methods - Little (1990)

  8. COLLABORATION “ The idea that a single teacher, working alone, can know and do everything to meet the diverse learning needs of 30 students everyday throughout the school year has rarely worked, and it certainly won’t meet the needs of learners in years to come.” - Carroll (2009), p. 13

  9. PLC Focus on the Critical Questions of Learning • What do we expect them to learn? • How will we know when they have learned it? • How will we respond when they don’t learn? • How will we respond when they already know it?

  10. Something to think about… “ To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe…” - Anatole France

  13. GETTING EVERYONE ON THE BUS!BECOMING A REAL PLC!

  14. WHAT’S NEXT?IS CHANGE NECESSARY? “ Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result” - Albert Einstein

  15. The Quandary

  16. THEREAL DIFFERENCE! ON the BUS • Goal: Every student shall succeed • Accept that change (the right change) is necessary to improve student performance • Believe student interest is more important than personal interest WE FIRST! OFF the BUS • Goal: Maintain the status quo • Reject any substainive change if it clashes with personal agenda • Believes that self-interest is more important than student interest ME FIRST!

  17. IT’S NOT ABOUT US!IT’S ABOUT THEM!
