  9. PLC Feedback • I get it! The picture is now complete! Our district has been working towards this for several years. We already have a lot in place with CI, mission, SMART goals, SLE, formative assessment, data, data centers & folders, etc….. • It just makes sense! • “It’s not the words “Professional Learning Community” that makes the difference. It is the emphasis on Learning that drives everything.”

  10. PLC Feedback • Collaboration, Collaboration, Collaboration • “Importance of culture to enhance learning.” • “We need to focus on the right questions.” • Collaboration & common assessments will allow me to adapt my strategies as needed by individual students. • Where is our Pyramid of Interventions?!! • Thanks & Vision

  11. PLC Feedback • We can’t wait for all staff to get onboard…we have to move forward without them.” • Working with resistant people you can’t change people’s attitudes, focus on their behaviors and making better experiences for them. • “Looking at the student through a different lens. Excellence for all”
