School Improvement Planning Mid Year Review, 2012 “The price of doing the same ’ ole thing is far greater than the price of change.” Unknown
Outcomes Participants will: • Identify the characteristics of an effective professional learning community • Review relevant data sources, including MAP-R, mClass, Fluency Rates, IRIs, and Discipline • Reflect on and update current SIP action plans • Discuss next steps for continuous school improvement
Professional Learning Community • According to Learning Forward’s recently released 2011 Standards for Professional Learning, professional learning communities: • Engage in continuous school improvement, • Promote collective responsibility, and • Support alignment of individual, team, school, and school system goals
Professional Learning Community • Powerful PLCs effectively respond to the four critical questions: • What do students need to know and/or be able to do? • How will we know they have learned it? • What will we do when they haven’t? • What will we do when they already know it?
Professional Learning Community • Effective PLCs have 6 key characteristics: • Focus on Learning/Results • Shared Values and Vision • Supportive and Shared Leadership • Culture of Collaboration • Collective Inquiry and Learning • Mutual Trust and Respect • Dr. Starr has a vision for all schools to engage in a PLC by September 2012
Focus on Learning/Results • Essential outcomes/focus • Use of common formative assessments or monitoring tools • Regular monitoring of student performance • Systemic response when students do not learn or targets are not met
