PLC Showcase

Our Leadership PLC may want to do a showcase on literacy and effort around coaching.  Focus on the collaboration effort with our teachers around in the areas writing, reading thinking, speaking. We understand that as PLC teaching learning is the key for our student success, with the District and our data we should be about to share our student information. This will give our PLC an opportunity to measure what they have done and where we may want to go in the future as a PLC.

Some of the PLC's are moving along and others still need assistance with finding something to focus on this semester. As I visit the groups I am impressed with the different technology they are sharing.  I have asked them to apply some of the knowledge they are learning in their classrooms and bring back results to share with the group.  I do believe they are utilizing the time wisely and working on ways to improve student learning.

So...
How has the work of the PLC grown this year?
How do we realize we need to support that as a leadership team?
How do we support PLCs in conversation?
How do we increase OUR focus on student work?

From the Talent Code:
The master teaachers and coaches were quiet, even reserved.
They listend far more than they talked.
They spent most of their time offering small, targeted, highly specific adjustments.
They had an extraordinary sensitivity to the person they were teaching, customizing each message to each student's personality.

They were DELIBERATE CULTIVATORS.

I really don't know what we should do for the May 1st Showcase.  With the a purpose of empowering and encouraging, maybe focus on the growth seen in the building around PLCs...through the eyes of the Leadership Team.
