PLCs – Key Points
Increase student achievement in measurable ways
Utilize assessment / other data and student work samples
Identify and implement teaching and learning strategies
Work in an ongoing cycle of focused collaboration

In a professional learning community, collaboration focuses on the critical questions of student and teacher learning:What is essential for students to know?How will we know when they have learned it?What interventions will we put in place when they don’t
learn it?What do teachers need to know and be able to do to support
the student learning?What professional learning must the team engage in for
student learning?

PLCs – SMART GOALS
Specific: Be specific about what is to be accomplished
Measurable: Identify how the goal will be measured
Attainable: Ensure the capacity exists to accomplish the goal
Results Based: Identify the benchmarks and outcomes for the goal
Time-bound: Set a specific timeframe for completing the goal
By June 2012, as a result ofimplementing Math Reflex, the
secondgrade students will show an
individualgrowth of 60% from the initialbaseline assessment in one digitaddition and subtraction fact
fluencyby being actively engaged in the
MathReflex program at least once a
weekwith growth being assessed at
eachmonthly PLC meeting usingestablished Math Reflex reports.

PLCs – SMART Goals - Sample
Our goal is by June 2012 to have 75% of all students identified as having behavioral disabilities will increase on-task behavior within the school setting by 20%. This will be measured in two ways, based on the current in-class behavior management plans: in the Kindergarten through third grade behavior disabilities classroom, an increase in the amount of stars earned each day; in the fourth through sixth grade behavior disabilities classroom, an increase in the total amount of points earned each day, out of a possible 14 points.

Are we able to adjust the goal? The structure makes it feel “artificial.”How do we handle a member who
doesn’t contribute or doesn’t stay for the whole session?
