Ensuring That Students Learn

The shift in focus from teaching to a focus on learning has profound implications for schools.

Page 8: Professional Learning Communities Changing the Way of Thinking About Teaching and Learning.

Ensuring That Students Learn

Often there is a lack of coordinated strategies used too respond when students do not learn!

Page 9: Professional Learning Communities Changing the Way of Thinking About Teaching and Learning.

Ensuring That Students Learn

Our response needs to be:

•Timely•Intervention not remediation•Directive not a choice

Page 10: Professional Learning Communities Changing the Way of Thinking About Teaching and Learning.

A Culture of Collaboration

Teachers need to work together to achieve their purpose of learning for all.

Page 11: Professional Learning Communities Changing the Way of Thinking About Teaching and Learning.

A Culture of Collaboration

Professional Learning Communities (PLC) have a systematic process in which teachers work together to improve instruction.

Page 12: Professional Learning Communities Changing the Way of Thinking About Teaching and Learning.

A Culture of Collaboration

1. Identify important Power Standards which will promote student achievement.

Page 13: Professional Learning Communities Changing the Way of Thinking About Teaching and Learning.

A Culture of Collaboration

2. Develop and administer common formative assessments to evaluate student mastery.

Page 14: Professional Learning Communities Changing the Way of Thinking About Teaching and Learning.

A Culture of Collaboration

3. PLC analyzes the assessment to determine what students know and what they don’t know.

Page 15: Professional Learning Communities Changing the Way of Thinking About Teaching and Learning.

A Culture of Collaboration

4. A plan is developed through team collaboration to increase student learning.

Page 16: Professional Learning Communities Changing the Way of Thinking About Teaching and Learning.

Focus on Results

Professional Learning Communities evaluate their success on the basis of results instead of making excuses for them.

Page 17: Professional Learning Communities Changing the Way of Thinking About Teaching and Learning.

Focus on Results

The results of a PLC are dependent on the commitment and persistence of the members of the team.

So here is our plan so far:

2:00-2:20 Kindergarten & Grade 4

2:25-2:45 Grade 1 & Grade 5

2:50-3:10 Grade 2

3:15-3:35 Grade 3
