  1. The PLC Team Learning Process • Review Step One: • Identify essential (key) learning standards that all students must learn in each content area during each unit of instruction in each course throughout the year.

  2. The PLC Team Learning Process • Review Step Two: • Create and work from a common pacing guide and curriculum maps that each teacher follows as they develop lessons. • PLC Teams must dialogue to develop the best way to sequence and pace the content to ensure all students acquire the essential knowledge.

  3. The PLC Team Learning Process • Review Step Three • Develop Common formative Assessments • The PLC must agree on what the students must learn and create instruments or processes to monitor the learning of each student. • Formative assessments are assessments of learning.

  4. The PLC Team Learning Process • Step Four • Establish a target score all students must achieve to demonstrate proficiency in each skill (SMART Goals).

  5. The PLC Team Learning Process • “Clear, measureable goals are at the center of the mystery of a school’s success, mediocrity of failure.” S.J. Rosenholz

  6. SMART Goals are… Establish SMART goals after you have examined your data! SMART Goals should focus on what students will LEARN rather than what Teachers will TEACH! They are the engine that drives continuous improvement and learning.

  7. Sample SMART goal… • The percentage of 9th grade students scoring at the proficient or higher range in Algebra will increase from 25% to 35% by the end of the 2012 school year as measured by the California Standards Assessments administered in April. • We will improve this score by: • Analyzing our data by indicators and reteaching. • Providing staff support and strategies during PLC meetings • Implementing a building wide vocabulary program that focuses on math terms • Implementing extended learning for targeted students.

  8. Sample SMART Goal… • The percentage of 10th grade students scoring above 80% on our unit exam will increase from 34% (pretest) to 90% by the end of October as measured by our common World History assessment. • We will improve this score by: • Developing common lessons and common formative assessments • Analyzing our data by indicators • Reteaching utilizing a variety of instructional strageies • Implementing a daily vocabulary focus on terms in our unit.

  9. SMART Goal DevelopmentWhere do we go from here? • In your Department PLC’s • Start with data – data – data • What are the strengths of the students/program • What are the areas for growth • After writing a SMART goal, there needs to be thinking and implementation of instructional strategies, rigorous curriculum and progress monitoring that will be used to build/increase student knowledge, understanding, skills and application of the indicator being addressed.
