https://lnkd.in/eXzbZEai To lead the learning in a PLC, teachers’ voices MUST be in the room. MUST! The very best way to make this happen is to assemble a guiding coalition that has teacher representatives from each grade level/department/specialty area. #atPLC @SolutionTree #GuidingCoalitions

When implemented with fidelity, the PLC process can deliver dramatically improved teaching and learning. Just look at these results of the PLC at Work Project in Arkansas! 🤩🙌 🔗 https://bit.ly/3W0225m #ATPLC #PLCinAR #StudentSuccess

Teaching all the state standards to mastery in 9 months isn’t possible. Prioritizing standards into 3 categories will help your team focus its energy on the important skills students must know in a course or grade level. https://bit.ly/3vfkKfR #atPLC #PLCatWork

Interested in Professional Learning Communities (PLC), and how these can be used to support and direct whole-of-school improvement? This article reports on the 3-year investigation of a PLC designed specifically for this purpose, and actioned through a Collaborative Action Research (CAR).

🚨New AllThingsPLC blog post! Matthew Treadway discusses how educators can respond more urgently to students who are struggling. Read here: https://bit.ly/3PDZirK #RTI #SpecialEducation #PLCAtWork #ATPLC

To effectively lead school change, guiding coalitions should first review their structures, processes, and products to see which ones should be kept because they support PLC implementation. Those that do not should be abandoned. #atPLC @SolutionTree

💪 Strong PLCs set goals and take action to reach them. 💪 This graph is from an article by The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) that asked, "What are the characteristics of effective teacher professional development?" TLDR: a trifecta of strong PLCs, coaching, and lesson studies can make a difference in student learning. ❓I had to ask, "What do they mean by strong PLCs?" Here, there are two qualifications: setting goals and acting on them. https://lnkd.in/d6JVVTBt
