3 Critical Things • Focus on student learning • Focus on student learning • Focus on student learning
Why Focus on Student Learning? • It is the stuff PLC’s are made of • Teachers will support helping kids grow • It isn’t focusing on teacher improvement or teacher effectiveness – but does the same job. The focus is on LEARNING not TEACHING
Why Focus on Student Learning? • It forms the epicenter of your job and your mission. • Success is the aphrodisiac of PLC’s and you can measure student learning – measure success • No one wants to help you complete your Master’s Thesis. . . or make politicians happy

4 Stages of Team Development The Team Handbook Peter Scholtes
Stages of Team Growth • Forming • Storming • Norming • Performing
Forming includes these feelings: • Excitement, anticipation, and optimism • Pride in being chosen for the project • Initial, tentative attachment to the team • Suspicion, fear, and anxiety about the job ahead
Forming includes these behaviors: • Attempts to define the task and decide how it will be accomplished • Attempts to determine acceptable group behavior and how to deal with group problems • Decisions on what information needs to be gathered • Lofty, abstract discussions of concepts and issues; or, for some members impatience with these discussions. • Discussion of symptoms or problems NOT relevant to the task; difficulty in identifying relevant problems • Complaints about the organization and the barriers to the task
Storming includes these feelings: • Resistance to the task and to collaborative improvement practices such as establishing norms, etc. • Sharp fluctuations in attitude about the team and the project’s chance of success
Storming includes these kinds of behaviors: • Arguing among members even when they agree on the real issue • Defensiveness, competition, factions and choosing sides • Questioning the wisdom of those who selected the project and appointed other members to the team • Establishing unrealistic goals, concerns about excessive work • A perceived pecking order, disunity, increased tension, and jealousy
Norming includes these feelings • A new ability to express criticism or opinions constructively • Acceptance of membership in the team • Relief that it seems everything is going to work out
Norming includes these behaviors: • An attempt to achieve harmony by avoiding conflict • More friendliness, confiding in each other, and sharing personal problems discussing the team dynamics • A sense of team cohesion, a common spirit and goals • Establishing and maintaining ground rules and boundaries (the norms)
Performing includes these feelings • Members having insights into personal and group processes and better understanding of each other’s strengths and weaknesses • Satisfaction at the team’s progress
Performing includes these behaviors: • Constructive self change • Ability to prevent or work through group problems • Close attachment to the team
Activity What process will you use with your team to establish these norms?
