Professional Learning Communities

First Big Idea of PLCs:

Focus on Learning

We accept high levels of learning for all students as the fundamental purpose of our school and therefore are willing to examine all practices in light of their impact on learning.

 

Second Big Idea of PLCs:

A Collaborative Culture

We can achieve our fundamental purpose of high levels of learning for all students only if we work together.

 

Third Big Idea of PLCs:

Focus on Results

We assess our effectiveness on the basis of results rather than intentions. Individuals, teams and schools seek relevant data and information and us that information to promote continuous improvement.

What are we doing?Why are we doing it?Have we been successful?How do we know?What are we going to do about it?

Five Essential Questions

AcademicMeet each student at his/her cognitive level and

guarantee at least one year of academic growth for each year in our system.

BusinessAssure a first-class service delivery model that provides our

communities with the highest degree of customer satisfaction possible within fiscally responsible parameters. Cuyahoga Falls expenditures will not exceed revenues in FY13.

College and Career Readiness Assessment will replace the OGT.

 

PARCC assessments will be given in grades 3-8 in reading and mathematics, grades 4 and 6 in social studies and grades 5 and 8 in science.

Cut scores for these tests will be equivalent to NAEP Level 4 or roughly equivalent to current Advanced and Accelerated levels.

Proficient levels are likely to drop from 82% to 46% based on 2012-13 data

College & Career ReadinessLevel 5: Superior command of the knowledge, skills, and practices embodied by the CCSS assessed at the grade level/course. Level 4: Solid command…

Level 3: Partial command…

Level 2: Limited command…

Level 1: Very Limited command…

their professional practices as the primary cause of student

achievement…

…the gains in student achievement were three times higher than those in schools

where the faculty and leaders attributed the causes to factors

beyond their control.
