The work of Solution Tree authors has served as a resource that we continually draw from to deepen our understanding.”

Beginning a PLC Journey

• We are organized into collaborative teams in which members work together

interdependently to achieve common goals

• We work with colleagues on our team to build shared knowledge

regarding state standards, district curriculum guides, trends in student

achievement, and expectations for the next course or grade level. This

collective inquiry has enabled each member of our team to clarify

what all students must know and be able to do as a result of every

unit of instruction
