By Brianna Crowley

Recently, a colleague asked me, “What is a pln?”

She was taking a gradu-ate course on technology implementation and was re-quired to form a “pln” using digital communities and tools. But after signing up

for various wikis, Nings, and virtual profes-sional groups, she was overwhelmed: “Do I have to actually log in and check all of these things on a regular basis?! Is that what ‘hav-ing a pln’ means?”

Her question prompted me to articulate how I define a professional learning network (pln) and how I have shaped my own.

A professional learning network is a vi-brant, ever-changing group of connections to which teachers go to both share and learn. These groups reflect our values, passions, and areas of expertise.

Teachers build plns the same way they build any network: by investing time to find and connect with people they trust, who have shared interests and passions. To me, a pln includes the organizations, communi-ties, and individuals who help me learn and grow as a professional. My pln also provides me with a broader perspective on educa-tion—beyond my classroom, school building, state, and even nation. It is a blend of face-to-face and digital interactions with profes-

sional buddies, mentors, and rockstars.Although technology is often the vehicle

to build connections, a pln is about relation-ships. To conceptualize a pln, envision three layers like the ever-widening rings formed when a rock is dropped into still water. The smallest inner circle represents buddies and mentors; a middle ring holds niche passion groups; and the outer layer comprises pro-fessionals and rockstars. The smaller the ring, the closer that group is connected to you in your pln.

Let’s explore how to develop each of these layers of relationships and understand their role in professional learning.

Step One: Find the Professionals

Imagine you were moving to a new city. Initially, you would seek professionals to trust with home repairs, health, and even dry cleaning. You might find these people by asking neighbors and friends or using an online resource like Angie’s List.

Similarly, finding professionals for a pln begins by connecting with educational or-ganizations whose mission statements and resources align to your personal beliefs about teaching and learning. Join these organizations, get on their email lists, and follow them on social media. You can also connect with published authors, research-ers, or speakers who have earned your respect. Follow them on social media, find

their blog, and set up an RSS feed to notify you when they post new content.

Step Two: Find Your Niche Groups

In addition to establishing your profes-sional contacts in a new town, you might begin to frequent places connected to your personal interests, like a gym, coffee shop, or church. In these places, you will likely find others who have shared interests in cycling, well-crafted drinks, or faith. These places make you feel comfortable.

In a pln, these comfortable places are those where people gather around similar

passions or experiences. For teachers, those places can vary based on grade level, sub-ject area, or personal passions. For example, those who teach English may participate in Monday night’s #engchat on Twitter or join author Jim Burke’s Ning groups to discuss topics related to teaching English. Fourth-grade teachers might participate in #4thchat on Twitter while following Fourth Grade Friends’ Pinterest boards for great ideas to use in the classroom.

Educators who are are passionate about technology have, of course, many options for virtual connection: #edtech chat on Twitter, Google+ groups, and videos from the Teach-

How to Build a Professional Learning Network

Math Standards Spark Collaboration Across GradesBy Liana Heitin

Last fall, math teachers from across Kent County, Md., gathered for their first professional learning community meetings of the school year. Kris Hemstetter, a math and English/language arts coach for the 2,200-student district, was working with a small group of 3rd through 5th grade teachers and urged them to keep in mind “where our kids are, and where they’re going.”

Ms. Hemstetter was referring to a shift in the Common Core State Standards for mathematics known as “coher-ence,” the idea that math concepts should be linked both within and across grade levels. Unlike many previous state standards, the common core puts a heavy emphasis on co-herent instruction, and consequently, many districts are finding ways to familiarize teachers with standards other than the ones they teach.

For the second year in a row, the elementary teachers in Ms. Hemstetter’s district are meeting monthly in cross-grade sessions after school, rather than in the grade-level silos previously used, to go over math concepts and in-structional methods. For Ms. Hemstetter, the goal is to get teachers talking about how skills build on each other.

Many experts say organizing these kinds of cross-grade-level professional learning experiences is one of the best ways to encourage coherent instruction. While teachers can study the “progressions documents” associated with the standards, which outline student-learning sequences for particular math topics, those texts can be tough to pen-etrate without support. Intergrade professional learning, though logistically difficult, gives educators a chance to teach each other about the complicated learning progres-sions inherent in the standards, they say.

A Focus on Fluidity

Math naturally lends itself to fluid instruction, according to Phil Daro, a senior fellow at America’s Choice, a Wash-ington-based school improvement consulting group owned by Pearson Inc., and a lead writer of the common standards for math. But state academic standards have tended not to make fluidity a focus until now.

“Traditionally in the U.S., we taught one arithmetic for whole numbers and taught a second and different arithme-tic for fractions, and then we taught a third arithmetic for

expressions with letters in them,” he said. “Whereas math-ematically, you could do it all with one arithmetic.” Other countries, including Singapore and Japan, have done a bet-ter job of teaching students to apply the same principles to many different types of problems, Mr. Daro said.

Coherence is named in the common standards, along with “rigor” and “focus,” as one of the three major mathe-matical “shifts” from previous state standards. “Mathemat-ics is not a list of disconnected topics, tricks, or mnemonics; it is a coherent body of knowledge made up of intercon-nected concepts,” the standards document says. “Therefore, the standards are designed around coherent progressions from grade to grade.”

ing Channel on digital literacy.There are literally hundreds of Twitter

niche groups that hold regular chats. To add these communities to your pln, you might attend a few chats a month that push your thinking and provide you with collaboration and resources around a shared personal interest. On Pinterest, you can do a simple search for terms that interest you and fol-low people or boards that provide you with great ideas.

Another way to find personal niche groups (without the frantic pace and public nature of Twitter) is through private communities like aScd Edge, Edmodo Teacher Groups,

the Center for Teacher Quality’s Collabora-tory, or Connected Educator’s Book Club. These groups require a profile and provide a space for educators to go deeper in discuss-ing topics and sharing resources.

Step Three: Find your PLN Buddies and Mentors

It’s important to have individuals in your pln who you respect highly and who will help you grow. Buddies and mentors are those people who you feel connected to beyond one shared interest; they “get” you in some important way.

These people are your closest group in your pln. You will read almost every blog post they write, and you would probably feel comfortable calling them on the phone or inviting them out to coffee.

Finding pln buddies and mentors often happens organically through interac-tion with other pln groups. Maybe you’re lurking on a Twitter chat and discover another educator who is sharing valu-able resources, so you follow that person and thank them on Twitter. Perhaps you feel compelled to comment on a discussion thread that someone posted because it res-onated with your own challenges or jour-ney. Or you have an opportunity to chat with a rock star at a book signing, and a more personal connection is formed. These are all opportunities to make and deepen connections over time.

These buddies and mentors become the foundation of any vibrant pln. They ex-pand your natural tunnel vision, trans-form your perspective, and encourage you when rock bottom seems near. You might communicate with them via Twitter, blogs, email, or Voxer. Or you could even ask them to go out for coffee once a month. Connection and interaction is key; the plat-form is merely the medium of convenience.

Feeling Overwhelmed? Stop!

The best part of a pln is that it is per-sonal. A “professional learning network” is ultimately a personal learning network.

It’s important to build your plns in a conscious way that makes you feel com-fortable. After all, not everyone builds their face-to-face networks the same way, so why would our virtual networks be any different? Perhaps it makes more sense for you to start with individuals and work outward to niche groups and organiza-tions. Or maybe you don’t like having your

connections and attention divided into so many different directions. Join one organi-zation, explore the niche groups, and con-nect with individuals who are already part of that community. Your attention will be focused in one place while your pln still has varied levels of personal interaction and connection.

To my overwhelmed colleague who posed the question, “What is a pln?” I replied with this: Find the virtual places that feel most natural to you. For me, that’s social media like Twitter and Facebook. After you choose a platform, follow the people and organizations that push you to ex-pand your thinking and move past your comfort zone. That’s creating a sustainable pln—one that will help you grow and feel more energized, not deplete you and cre-ate stress.

Like moving to a new place, the hardest part is the initial step. Stepping outside of your house to meet the neighbors, being willing to make a wrong turn to find your new doctor, or joining the local book club at the library all require risk.

But communities are essential for our happiness and survival. If your profes-sional life feels stagnant and narrow, or your learning feels stale and pre-dictable, perhaps it’s time to step out-side the door and seek people who can breathe new life into your professional growth. Perhaps it’s time to build a per-sonal, professional learning network. n

BRIANNA CROWLEY (@AkaMsCrowley) teaches high school English and works as an instructional-technology coach in Hershey, Pa. She also serves as a “teacherpreneur” for the Center for Teaching Quality.

This essay was originally published online by Education Week Teacher.

The standards ask students to “apply and extend previous understandings” when learning new skills—an indirect reference to cross-grade coherence. For in-stance, students are expected to use what they learned about multiplication in 3rd grade to multiply fractions by whole numbers in 5th grade, and then again when dividing fractions by fractions in 6th grade.

“As a teacher, what it means is you really should be familiar with the whole program, not just the part of the program where you add on new knowledge,” said Mr. Daro.

While many math teachers have long sought to en-sure their instruction is consistent with what’s taught in other grades, the common core has made that objec-tive more explicit, while seeking to make the connections more readily apparent.

The common standards for math were developed out of a series of documents, based on research about stu-dents’ cognitive development, that detail how instruc-tion on a particular topic should advance over time. The standards’ writers took those “progressions documents” and divided the skills into grade levels at which they should be taught. The progressions documents can now be found on Achieve the Core, a website hosted by the New York City-based nonprofit group Student Achieve-ment Partners, which was founded by the lead standards writers.

The documents are, in a word, dense. But they do offer insight into how skills build on one another, and most experts on the standards suggest teachers consult them.

“What I’ve been recommending is that people form book clubs or study groups and read those progressions together,” said Mr. Daro. “They’re not written to be read while sipping a cup of tea. They’re written to be studied, and you don’t study alone.”

Cross-Grade Connections

Three to five elementary teachers could meet once a week for a month to read a single progression, he said. “Will that be enough for them to understand everything in the progression? Probably not. Will that advance their mathematical thinking? Surely it will.”

The progressions documents take a lot of “unpacking,” said Ms. Hemstetter. Even so, she tells teachers to put them by their desks, along with the standards. “It’s not

an easy read sometimes, but every time you read a por-tion of that progression document, it’s going to make more sense to you,” she said.

At a professional development conference held by the Mary-land education department last year, a small group of teach-ers gathered at a session on fractions division. As the teachers discussed whether students should convert improper frac-tions to mixed numbers, which the common standards do not require, high school teacher Kevin Wajek chimed in from the back of the room. “As soon as you cross into high school, that’s the answer I want,” he said in reference to improper fractions. “Unless it’s a recipe, do not use mixed numbers again.” The middle school teachers turned his way to consider the plea.

The moment exemplified the way cross-grade learning can contribute to coherent instruction in math. Mr. Wajek, the math department chairman at Severna Park High School, in Maryland, said in an interview that coherence goes both ways—high school teachers need to know the beginnings of the learning progressions as well. “I should understand where that conceptual understanding came from, so that I can say, ‘Remember when ...’ “ and point to what students learned in previous grades, he said.

Windy Hill Middle School, in the 15,900-student Calvert County, Md., district, began organizing professional learning communities across grade levels three years ago, when the school first introduced the common core.

“We may discuss a topic we’ll talk about in 7th grade, and tie it into a topic in 6th grade, and where they’re going with it in 8th grade,” said Dawn Caine, a math teacher at the school.

The middle school teachers have also met with 5th grade teachers from the nearby elementary schools at times, she said.

As of yet, though, that kind of cross-grade integration isn’t common practice in middle schools, according to Steven Lein-wand, a principal research analyst at the Washington-based American Institutes for Research who specializes in math ed-ucation. “Most middle school teachers are meeting as [single-] grade teams—one math, one English, one social studies, and one science teacher,” he said, calling that a major problem.

Cross-grade-level meetings have been helpful for Chris Aus-tin, a 4th and 5th grade math teacher at Rock Hall Elemen-tary in Rock Hall, Md., who attends Ms. Hemstetter’s profes-sional learning community. Working with teachers below her grade level has given her a firmer grasp on the progressions. “I’m not as familiar with the 3rd grade document, so she can remind me to take it down a notch,” she said, pointing to a colleague who teaches 3rd grade. Knowing the progressions below her grade also allows her to fill in gaps for her students, Ms. Austin explained.

“We didn’t have progression documents before the common core to see why does this make sense,” said Ms. Hemstetter. Now, in the professional learning communities, “we can un-pack the progression document, look at student work, and analyze 2nd through 5th grade to see why these progressions make sense,” she said. “It’s about the conversations.”

CHAT HIGHLIGHTS: Creating the Conditions for Teacher CollaborationIn late 2014, Education Week Teacher held a live online chat on how schools can create the conditions for more effective teaching. The guests for the chat were Melinda George, the president of the National Commission on Teaching & America’s Future, and Richard A. Carranza, the superintendent of the San Francisco Unified School District. Many of the audience questions focused on the need for greater teacher collaboration in schools. Here are some excerpts from the discussion.

How are schools and districts that are finding ways for teachers to meet pulling it off? Do they have successful strategies?

MELINDA GEORGE: oEcd’s 2014 Teach-ing and Learning International Survey found that American teach-ers are spending more time than any other country, including some very high-performing countries, doing instruction. While this may sound reasonable at face value, it doesn’t account for time to col-laborate and plan with peers. In those districts and schools where collaboration is happening, they are finding the time by eliminat-ing administrative duties (i.e., lunch duty, after-school meetings,

and recess duty). They are also re-thinking their class schedules to allow more blocks of planning time rather than just fitting it to an in-dividual’s personal schedule.

What kind of policies can districts put in place to support schools in providing collaboration time for teachers, or does it come down to the principal doing this? RICHARD CARRANZA: Districts can have a huge impact on setting the conditions for collaboration time. Some of the policies can include the setting of school start times that will allow schools to carve out time specifically for collaboration; having a district policy requiring

classroom walkthroughs (which encourage shared instructional practices); policies adopting 21st-century learning as part of the curriculum; including professional-development support for leaders in scheduling and planning for col-laboration time within the work day; and requiring principal and teacher pre- and post-observation discussions about student learning as part of the evaluation process. These are just a fraction of the district policies and practices that may help create the time for col-laboration in our schools.

Many school districts have adopted professional learning communities to facilitate teacher collaboration. But sometimes plcs are viewed negatively by teachers. How do you overcome that sentiment?

MELINDA GEORGE: We need to re-build trust among teachers that plcs are designed to sup-port their professional learn-ing. plcs have to be part of the learning goals of the school and

they have to help teachers find answers to their own classroom concerns/situations.

How do I find a good plc? What traits make a plc worthwhile?

MELINDA GEORGE: plcs require time to develop group norms and rou-tines around addressing problems of practice, reviewing student work and data, and giving feedback to peers.

RICHARD CARRANZA: Regarding good plcs, I would also add that they should be transparent and that the products from the plc should be available to colleagues ubiqui-tously. Have you found that there is one style or approach to professional development that teachers are resistant to, because they see it as unhelpful, wasteful, or counterproductive?

RICHARD CARRANZA: I’ve also heard “pd” referred to as “Pretty Dumb.” That usually happens

when the pd is top-down, uncon-nected to work in the classroom and of very limited duration (the dreaded “drive by,” one-time training session). I’ve found the most successful pd is the prod-uct of tightly aligned conver-sations around the classroom instructional needs of teachers, with teachers having a voice in the development or construc-tion of the pd, and a multi-step approach to the delivery of pd. By that I mean that there are multiple sessions (preferably not day-long sessions) in which teachers are able to engage in new learning, have an oppor-tunity to take it back to their classrooms and try it out, come back for sharing of the process and outcomes with colleagues, and then engage in new learn-ing. This type of structure has resulted in a deeper mastery of the pd concepts in my experi-ence, and has also created the environment that teachers have been able build on. n

Study Finds Poor Execution of ‘Job Embedded’ PD

By Stephen Sawchuk

Despite widespread belief that on-the-job professional development is superior to the “spray and pray” workshop model, many teachers seem to be unsatisfied with the qual-ity of their in-school offerings, according to a new report.

It’s not that training options like coaching, lesson observation, and professional learn-ing communities, in which groups of teachers plan together, aren’t good ideas. In fact, the re-port—written the Boston Consulting Group and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—emphasizes that such practices are theoretically grounded in the best re-search on teacher pd. The problem appears to lie in the execution of such activities—too often, professional learning community time turns into “social hour,” coaching is viewed as administrative monitoring, and lesson obser-vation is superficial. (The Gates Foundation also provides support for Education Week’s cover-age of college- and career-ready standards.)

In other words, the missing link is how these activities are structured and carried out at schools. And that’s a big research hole, the report says: “There is little evidence to support which model of coaching (e.g. technical coach-ing, team coaching, peer coaching) is most ef-fective,” it notes. Similar problems were found with plcs.

As the accompanying chart shows, princi-pals and other district leaders overwhelm-ingly think that they should be doing more lesson observation, coaching, and common planning time. But teachers said that they were not really satisfied with those efforts, placing their plc time even

below that of workshops.These issues are not just a matter of se-

mantics, either; the report estimates that $18 billion is spent annually on profes-sional development, and most of it on in-ternal investments. (Some $3 billion was provided to external providers such as “in-dependent consultants.”)

Barriers to better practices include not enough time in teachers’ schedules and school leaders being overwhelmed with

administrative tasks, the report asserts.The report relied on surveys and focus

groups with 1,300 teachers, professional-de-velopment directors, principals, and pd pro-viders, as well as a supplementary survey of 1,600 additional teachers.

The report also indicates that the much-ma-ligned workshops remain the most common form of teacher PD, with over 80 percent of respondents reporting that they’d spent some time in one. Only two-thirds spent time in a

plc, but they spent more hours in such meet-ings than in workshops.

In all, the report says, efforts need to be made to make the on-the-job professional development more relevant, more hands-on (with strategies that can be used immedi-ately), and sustained over time.

This article was originally published on the Teacher Beat blog: www.edweek.org/go/teachbeat

DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONSurvey information collected by the Boston Consulting Group shows that while district leaders believe their schools need more job-embedded professional-development offerings, teachers have tended to be dissatisfied with the implementation of such programs.

Overall, how would you rate your satisfaction with the

PD offered to teachers in your school dis-

trict/school?

If it were totally up to you, do you be-

lieve your district should deliver more or less PD to teachers relative to the

current amount?

The International Reading Association is now the International Literacy Association!

By Joellen Killion

Research supports the value of educator collaboration: When teachers collaborate, students benefit. Too often, however, professional learning within communities of peers is merely a label.

Professional learning communities are hijacked in multiple ways, usually under the pretense of facilitat-ing or supporting the collaboration. Administrators who dictate the content of collaboration are some of

the biggest offenders. Teachers who fail to engage responsibly as pro-fessionals with colleagues in collaboration are also offenders. When educators at any level arrive late, break commitments, seek to main-tain the status quo, or remain within their comfort zone, they are subverting the core principles of professional learning communities.

Within authentic professional learning communities, members determine their content and process for their continuous improve-ment. While they may benefit from skillful facilitators who offer pro-cesses and protocols, the community commits to learning as a means to improve practice and results. A key distinction exists between a community of professionals who engage in learning for continuous improvement and a gathering of professionals who conduct routine work together.

A learning community that fails to make learning its central focus violates a fundamental principle of a plc—the primary purpose of the community is to learn. The plc intends to strengthen, refine, or expand its members’ practice and the effects of their practice.

A professional learning community that has no decision making authority is in violation of a second fundamental principle—the com-munity is responsible for successes and failures. Members embrace both responsibility and accountability for success of all of the com-munity’s members. Administrators must allow the community to ex-ercise authority for their own learning. plc members must assume the accountability that comes with authority. Both administrators and members can be in violation—when administrators hijack the agenda or time or when community members fail to assume responsibility for each other’s success and failure.

The third fundamental principle of a professional learning commu-nity is the professionalism of members at all levels—engaging fully, keeping commitments, practicing civility, using dialogue to deepen understanding, challenging assumptions, communicating effectively.

The term plc too frequently is an inappropriate label for any con-vening of education professionals. Grade-level team or department meetings, faculty meetings, convocations, training, data presentations, curriculum writing, assessment scoring, or lesson planning are often mistakenly called plcs. Each of these types of meetings has value, yet each often misses most of the principles of professional learning com-munities. To what degree, for example, do members of a faculty design the content and processes of their faculty meetings to advance profes-sional learning and collective responsibility for educators’ continuous improvement and student success?

Authentic professional learning communities support professional responsibility for peer and student success. More opportunity for edu-cator collaboration is not only about creating the structures for col-laboration, such as team norms or time within the school day; it also requires a commitment to and fierce preservation of the fundamental principles of professional learning communities that make them pro-fessional, learning-focused, and a true community. n

By Paul Barnwell

Sometimes it feels like there’s too much on our plates as teachers to take a few moments to chat with a colleague in the copy room. Shirk-ing email and other administrative duties in order to share lunch with co-workers? I wish! Helping a colleague with class coverage when there is so much to do? If only!

Yet if we don’t deliberately forge personal connections and strengthen relationships within our school buildings, then we are handicapping our efforts to reach, mentor, and educate all students. The level of collaboration demanded by modern teaching is unprecedented—not to mention pretty daunting when it comes to accountability in a data-driven environment.

The bottom line is this: Sustainable, effective collabora-tion is unlikely to occur without strong personal connec-tions between teachers, staff members, and administrators. Here are some simple ways to improve your approach to building relationships in your school:

1. Give Without Strings Attached

Earlier this year, a colleague of mine was fighting a nasty cold. Over the course of a couple weeks, she asked me twice to cover her fifth period class. Not a problem.

I’m not holding this favor as currency, waiting for an op-portunity for her to “pay” me back.

In our personal and professional lives, dealing with peo-ple who always expect something in return isn’t a way to build sustainable or authentic relationships. That’s not to say that I won’t ever ask for favors in return; it’s just not at the forefront of my approach when helping others out.

2. Talk, Don’t Email

Writing an email instead of making a phone call or seeking a quick interaction in the hallway can seem

like an easier form of workplace communication. But remember: The more email you send, the more mes-sages you must check and reply to. The more time you spend in front of a screen, the less time you have to say hello, ask questions, and build relationships.

As a general rule of thumb, I try to establish rela-tionships in person, or at least over the phone, before I start sending emails or texts. If I have a question for a coworker, I usually take the time to call or make a visit in person. This significantly increases the chances for positive interactions with those colleagues in the future.

“Seton Hall’s educational

leadership program

prepared me for a career

in school leadership.”

ASPIRING SCHOOL LEADERS

Seton Hall University provides a fast-track to an M.A. or Ed.S. degree and to a rewarding career in education administration.

3. Follow Your Colleagues on Social Media

While heavy social media use isn’t my personal preference, following co-workers on social media can spark both light-hearted and work-related conversations. The phenomenon of the “Serial” podcast comes to mind; my colleagues and I swapped links and commentary relating to the story.

In addition, there’s no reason why your professional learning networks can’t have a heavily local flavor. If you already follow nationally recognized educators, publications, and organiza-tions, why not also create space for those folks you come into contact with the most? I’ve created a Fern Creek High School Twitter list so it’s simple to get a “pulse” of what thoughts, ideas, images, and information my co-workers are sharing.

4. Make Interdisciplinary Connections

I’ll be the first to admit that, as an English teacher, I have a hard time imagining sustained collaboration with an Algebra II teacher. But this doesn’t mean I’m not striving to interact with folks from other departments and subject areas in order to expand student-learning possibilities while building more diverse collegial relationships.

Three years ago, I sought out our functional mental dis-abilities teachers to include our school’s special-needs stu-dents in my digital media elective course. Not only has this partnership been great for all students, but I’ve created a link to a department—and group of teachers—often isolated in many school buildings. My interactions with the FMD teachers and students have been some of my favorite, most meaningful interactions at my school.

5. Laugh

I know the feeling of having a furrowed brow and tension building in my neck and shoulders after a particularly try-ing day. Strolling down the hallways, it’s easy to spot col-leagues who are in the same boat. Yes, our work is impor-tant and incredibly difficult. But I do appreciate co-workers who manage to keep a smile or crack a joke in order to lighten the mood. Shared joy and laughter can forge bonds and also make our toughest days more manageable.

6. Show Humility

Hopefully you work in an environment where the major-ity of teachers don’t think they’ve figured everything out. I’m fortunate to be in a place where many educators seek out advice from one another. I’m in the midst of my 11th year teaching, and one of my current classes is the most difficult I’ve ever had in terms of student engagement, pro-moting positive behavior, and attendance issues.

Despite the fact that I’m generally an effective educator, I still need help. I’ve contacted colleagues regarding best ways to reach certain students. I’ve asked for advice from administrators. For those of us educators who are realistic about the Herculean challenges we face, it’s off-putting to try to form positive relationships with co-workers who think they know it all.

7. Expand Your Circles

I know that sometimes I feel cordoned off in my own teaching world with my colleagues in the English III Pro-fessional Learning Community. In lieu of faculty meetings, our school has dedicated plc time, which is usually a good thing. But it’s easy for all of us in this small group of col-leagues to keep that professional circle limited.

Instead, are there other folks in your building who you can learn and interact with? For me, this means frequent contact with our college counselors and mentors, who work with many of my students on transcripts, applications to schools, financial aid, and more. Or how about secretarial staff? Librarians? Classroom aides?

There’s no doubt each of us approaches relationship-building differently. Some of us require closer bonds and adult interaction; others are more content to be selec-tive about whom they interact with. But if an attitude of closed doors and “just let me teach” prevails in a school’s culture, it hurts our ability to connect with other adults in our buildings. We must take advantage of opportunities to connect—instead of pushing them aside in the face of so much to do.

Teaching is more manageable and enjoyable when we are diligent in fostering positive relationships with a diverse group of colleagues. This sets a foundation for the real work of professional collaboration, teaching, and learning. We can’t rely on shaky, weak professional relationships given all we strive to accomplish together. n

He’s currently an English III and digital media teacher at Fern Creek Traditional High School in Louisville, Ky., in addition to serving as a Center for Teaching Quality “teacherpreneur” for Jefferson County school district.
