6. Professional Learning Communities
At Mountain View we have been participating in PLCs for five years now; following the PLC principles of DeFour.
During PLC meetings teachers analyze data collected through the use of iStation, DIBELS, Acuity, WESTEST, and classroom assessments to drive the curriculum in the classroom and to identify the individual needs of students.
Beginning transition into PLT’s; developing teacher leadership in research and best instructional practices.
