Professional Learning Communities
Educators must stop working in isolation and hoarding their ideas, materials, and strategies and begin to work together to meet the needs of all students –(DuFour, 2004)

What will drive the work of the PLCs? What do we want the student to learn?
Common Core Standards Learning Targets (Cassandra Erkens)
How will we know when each student has learned it? Formative/Summative Assessments Exit Slips Teacher/Student Conferencing Data Analysis is timely and quickly identifies students who need
additional time and support
What do we do when the students already know it? Stretch Learning
How will we respond when a student experiences difficulty in learning? Intervention Block is based on intervention rather than remediation at
elementary and middle school levels Pyramid of Intervention – systematic plan that requires students to
devote extra time before, during, and after school to receive extra help to master the necessary concepts
