  1. Oak Hills SchoolProposed Minimum Day2013-2014 Parent Information Meeting April 23, 2013

  2. What is PLC? In a Professional Learning Community Teachers collaborate - intra and inter teams Analyze Data, Plan Instruction with Best Practices Design Remediation and Enrichment Instruction Core Beliefs All students can learn at high levels; lifelong learners Continuous improvement results from collaboration Evidence sought to prove student learning Instruction designed from performance data

  3. Why Collaborate? National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future “Quality teaching is not an individual accomplishment, it is the result of a collaborative culture that empowers teachers to team up to improve student learning beyond what any of them can achieve alone. The idea that a single teacher, working alone, can know and do everything to meet the diverse learning needs of 30 students every day throughout the school year has rarely worked, and it certainly won’t meet the needs of learners in years to come.” (Carroll, President; 2009) Research Proves this to be True Higher student performance achievement found in schools with increased teacher collaboration (Goddard, Tschannen-Moran; 2007)
