Do you PLC?

A special shout out to East Principal, Tiara Rodgers, for helping us deepen our learning around PLC's this week! What I continue to realize, is that we all have varying perceptions of what a PLC really is. PLC's and this acronym that we so loosely use run the gamut from Magellans after work on Friday to field trip planning. Although these could be very productive meetings, neither are a true PLC.

When you read the three big ideas of a PLC, where do you fit as an active contributor?

1. We accept learning as the fundamental purpose of our school and therefore are willing to examine all practices in light of their impact on learning.

2.  We are committed to working together to achieve our collective purpose.  We cultivate culture through development of high-performing teams.

3. We assess our effectiveness on the basis of results rather than intentions. Individuals, teams, and schools seek relevant data and information and use that information to promote continuous improvement.

If you are not actively working towards these big ideas with a team, then you are not helping yourself, school or your students.
Make this a priority for success!
