School Improvement Plan in Conjunction with Professional Learning Communities

“The most promising strategy for sustained, substantive school improvement is building the capacity of school personnel to function as a professional learning community” Milbrae McLaughlin

Definition of a Professional Learning Community “…A Professional Learning Community is a collaboration of teachers, administrators, parents and students who work together to seek out best practices, test them in the classroom, continuously improve processes, and focus on results” Rick DuFour, 2002

The Three Big Ideas Behind Professional Learning Communities (PLC) Focus on Learning Collaborative Culture Focus on Results

Key Questions for a PLC What is it that we want our students to learn? How will we know when the students have learned it? What will we do when we find the students have not learned it? What will we do when students have learned it?

Characteristics of a PLC Shared Mission, Vision and Values Collaborative Teams Collective Inquiry Action Orientation/Experimentation Commitment to Continuous Improvement Results Orientation (DuFour and Eaker, 1998)
