  1. Staying On Track with PLCs Mount Airy City Schools As Presented By Dr. Kim Morrison

  2. Where are you with Professional Learning Communities Discuss with a partner if you Feel PLCs are Developing, Emerging, Strong, or Exceptional and why? Share with your partner what you think your next step in Professional Learning Communities should be?

  3. Questions or Comments • http://padlet.com/wall/k9ot8dipmn

  4. Setting the Course for Your Destination • Defining Effective PLCs • Outlining the Facilitators Role • Establishing PLC Expectations

  5. Defining Effective PLCs What is the purpose of PLCs?

  6. PLCs in Action Collaborative meetings of educators in which data-driven decisions are made to improve teacher’s instruction leading to improvedstudents outcomes.

  7. Protocols for each PLC will be rolled out slowly over time throughout the year with intentionality. You will be trained on each protocol as it is being used and you will have time to get comfortable with the protocol.

  8. PLCs in Action

  9. PLAN • This time in a continuous improvement model is when teachers plan lessons to ensure every child in their classroom meets the learning targets of the lesson.

  10. Protocol During the planning phase there will be a protocol entitled: Standards in Practice It helps educators design rigorous assignments.

  11. Standards in Practice • http://macschools.pbworks.com/w/page/68209025/PLC%20Protocols

  12. Implement During continuous improvement teachers will implement what they have planned. Unpacking a Standard If a standard needs to be unpacked. They will do this prior to implementation.

  13. Unpacking a Standard • http://macschools.pbworks.com/w/page/68209025/PLC%20Protocols

  14. Assess Formative assessment occurs during instruction to see where students are in the learning process. Summative assessment occurs once teachers have finished instructing on a topic. Common Formative Assessment

  15. Common Formative Assessment (CFA) • http://macschools.pbworks.com/w/page/68209025/PLC%20Protocols

  16. Analyze CFAs and other forms of student data outcomes will be analyzed. This data feedback will help us understand how to change our instruction to meet student needs. Data Feedback Strategy (DFS)

  17. Data Feedback Strategy Here is a video of the DFS http://wsfcs.k12.nc.us/site/default.aspx?PageID=1

  18. Data Feedback Strategy • http://macschools.pbworks.com/w/page/68209025/PLC%20Protocols

  19. Reflect Once we learn information from data we must develop plans to support interventions for struggling students and enrichment for students that are performing above grade level. This takes us back to the continuous cycle at PLAN.

  20. PLCs in Action

  21. When we begin with the end in mind, we have a personal direction to guide our daily activities, without which we will accomplish little toward our own goals. Stephen Covey

  22. Today we will practice with the protocol “Unpacking a Standard” This protocol is used if students have struggled with or are anticipated to struggle with a standard. Let’s watch a video clip of an “unpacking” protocol.

  23. Unpacking a Standard http://wsfcs.k12.nc.us/site/default.aspx?PageID=1

  24. Take your unpacking protocol and directions. These will be electronically givento the PLC participants. Teachers may print a hard copy if they need one. Unpacking Activity

  25. Facilitator’s Role • Start meeting on time • Recap last meeting • Plan and review agenda

  26. Facilitator’s Role • Utilize time appropriately • Prepare content/data in advance • Utilize probing questions to develop essential ideas and increase involvement of participants

  27. Facilitator’s Role • Use appropriate protocols • Focus discussions on student achievement

  28. Role Play Activity • The goal of the facilitator is to engage teachers in productive dialogue about their students data and their response to the data. • Find a partner. One of you will be the facilitator and one the teacher.

  29. Role Play Activity Let’s debrief the role play.

  30. Planning for the Journey • Protocol and Calendar for first quarter (Monday at 10) • Follow up Training Monday at 10 for Facilitators • Monthly meetings and support • Monitoring Forms

  31. PLC Expectations • PLCs will meet weekly • Primary, Intermediate and Middle Schools will have one facilitator per school • High Schools will have 5 facilitators • PLCs will focus on student achievement • PLCs will focus in the areas covered today of PLAN, IMPLEMENT, ASSESS, ANALYZE, and REFLECT

  32. How do we Monitor Implementation? • Completed protocols • Walkthroughs • Agenda/Action Plans

  33. How can we make PLCs successful? • http://padlet.com/wall/k9ot8dipmn

  34. Faculty Buy-In • Invitation to “Get on Board” • Participation in goal setting and action planning • Seeing how PLC implementation will benefit them and their students • Create a nurturing environment -Allow risk taking • Permission to make mistakes

  35. Staying on Track • Setting the course for the Destination • Planning for the Journey
