Professional Learning Communities A Guide to PLCs in the Mandan School District August 11, 2015

What is a Professional Learning Community (PLC) A Professional Learning Community (PLC) is an ongoing process in which educators work collaboratively in recurring cycles of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve. (DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, & Many) Four Critical Questions: What do we want all students to learn? How will we know if they have learned it? How will we respond if they don’t learn it? How will we respond if they have all ready learned it?

What is Collaboration? Collaboration is a systemic process in which we work together interdependently to analyze and impact professional practice in order to improve our individual and collective results.

What are the Purposes of Mandan PLCs? To ensure a guaranteed and viable curriculum for all students To develop common assessments and analyze data from those assessments to inform instruction To develop proficiency scales for standards based assessment and grading To build a common language of instruction (Marzano Framework) To develop a continuum of interventions for students who need extra time and support (RTI)

What are the Essential Elements of Mandan’s PLC Framework? A collaborative venture Always focuses on student learning Distributes leadership responsibilities Narrows the curriculum to its essence Shares best practices as a means of improving instruction Uses “assessment for learning” in addition to the usual “assessment of learning.” Improves instruction Utilizes data

How Will Mandan PLCs Function? Principals will develop a schedule for PLCs to meet regularly throughout the school year PLC groups will be assigned by principals and can be based upon any of the following logical groupings: Vertical (content/course specific)Teams Grade Level Teams Interdisciplinary Teams (i.e. middle school teaming) Other logically linked teams PLC groups will develop agreed upon norms of operation PLCs will provide agendas and report proceedings of each meeting to their building principal
