  5. A School Mission and Vision… It is why we are here and what we ultimately strive to become! Needs to drive decisions. Needs to be known by all. Needs to be revisited and, if needed, modified

Professional Learning Community • Educators committed to working collaboratively in ongoing processes of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve. (DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, & Many, 2006). “The greatest untapped resource in the field of education is the knowledge possessed by teachers.”

  23. Our Learning Community Focuses on Results… Four Critical Questions Drive our PLCs: • What do we expect our students to know? • How will we know if they have learned it? • What will we do differently if they don’t learn it? • What will we do differently if they do learn it?

  24. “The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined efforts of each individual.” • Vince Lombardi
