PLC Monthly Agenda – WCHS
The goal of the PLC structure with common planning time is to provide teachers an opportunity to discuss the progress of learners in their classroom and departments. To accomplish this goal, there must be successful assignment and evaluation of student work. The following agenda will help to facilitate this process.
The following is expected to be accomplished each month in the PLC structure, and is expected to be accomplished in the order it is assigned.
• Week One: All PLC members will bring an ORQ or AP Essay question. This may be provided by individual teachers or by subject team. The question must be accompanied by the specific core or AP standard and a teacher generated response. Members of the PLC will provide peer review of the questions and responses to determine if the standard, task, and responses are congruent.
• Week Two: All PLC members will bring five (5) ungraded student responses to undergo quality control scoring during the PLC meeting. PLC members are to complete scoring their own student responses and enter the results into the CATS calculator to be presented at the Week Three meeting.
• Week Three: All PLC members will report the results of the assessment and present the number of level 1,2,3, 4 responses and class indices as calculated by the CATS calculator. Teachers will share how the results measured up to their expectations and will describe next steps to improve student performance. Minutes from the meeting should reflect results and next steps. Following the presentation, all members will visit the rooms of the PLC members to look at the posted student work and provide peer review regarding the level of consistency and if the posted student work is truly “level 4”.
• Week Four: (recovery week) PLC members will meet in subject teams to review unit/course maps to adjust pacing and review common assessments to prepare for the next Week One activity.
