Professional Learning Communities(PLC)
![Page 26: Plc at work](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/5478b79cb4af9f8a5a8b47a9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Focus with Purpose on Learning
• We will be a school with an unrelenting focus on learning. All students are expected to succeed; failure is not an option…
• Ultimately, it will be the responsibility of the student and his/her parents to take advantage of the support available.
![Page 27: Plc at work](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/5478b79cb4af9f8a5a8b47a9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Motivators of PLC Efforts
• 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.
• We are committed to working together to achieve our collective purpose. We cultivate a collaborative culture through development of high performing teams.
• We assess our effectiveness on the basis of results rather than intentions.
![Page 28: Plc at work](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110114/5478b79cb4af9f8a5a8b47a9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Prerequisites for Advancing on the PLC Continuum
• The schools that develop as PLC’s are those who take action. The best way to develop capacity to function as a PLC is to engage in PLC practices.

Purposeful Steps in Becoming PLC
• Clarify the essential knowledge and skills each student will acquire as a result of each unit of instruction, grade level, and/or course.
• Implement systems to monitor each student’s mastery of essential learning on a timely basis.
• Implement systems to ensure that students who are not learning are provided additional time and support during the school day.
• Organize the staff into collaborative teams and provide them with time to meet during the school day.

Purposeful Steps in Becoming PLC
• Insist each team demonstrates it focus on the critical questions by requiring every team to develop the products associated with those questions.
• Insist each team identifies and pursues a SMART Goal that can only be achieved if members of the team working together interdependently.

school principal, one based on a
skilled passionate, moral commitment
to students’ and teachers’ learning-
and to the leader’s own learning”
(Barth)
