“Educators who are building a professional learning
community recognize that they must work together to achieve
their collective purpose of learning for all. Therefore, they create structures to promote a
collaborative culture.”Richard DuFour

Guiding Principles1.Teachers cannot change a behavior or practice
until they SEE what the new behavior or practice LOOKS like in a real world setting multiple times.
2.For professional development to truly be effective and sustained, it must be accompanied with on-going COACHING in a non-threatening environment

Reflective Thinking:– Supports collaboration and full membership in
the classroom learning community– Supports understanding of curriculum by
materials at multiple levels to allow for all learning levels and multiple intelligences

Staff Meeting Implications:
• Create an agenda that goes out at least 24 hours prior to the meeting.
• Provide learning clubs for when staff members enter the meeting room.
• Give entry procedures for the staff to do as they come into the room.

• Create staff meetings based on the needs of the staff
• Use a “Parking Lot” to identify needs

Using the Bodybrain Elements• Immediate Feedback
– Creates pattern seeking and program building
– In all environments except school it is present in abundance
– Feedback that tells us we have succeeded in learning produces a burst of neurotrasmitters, producing a “chemical high”
– More immediate, intrinsic, and unambiguous the feedback, the faster and more accurate the learning

concepts and skills at a level appropriate for the age of the student
