Setting the Course for Your Destination Defining Effective PLCs
Outlining the Facilitators Role
Establishing PLC Expectations

Defining Effective PLCs
What is the purpose of PLCs?
![Page 6: Staying On Track with PLCs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f55550346895dbcff72/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Collaborative meetings of educators in which data-driven decisions are made to improve teacher’s instruction leading to improved students outcomes.
![Page 7: Staying On Track with PLCs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f55550346895dbcff72/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Protocols for each PLC will be rolled out slowly over time throughout the year with intentionality.
You will be trained on each protocol as it is being used and you will have time to get comfortable with the protocol.

PLAN
This time in a continuous improvement model is when teachers plan lessons to ensure every child in their classroom meets the learning targets of the lesson.
![Page 10: Staying On Track with PLCs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f55550346895dbcff72/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Protocol
During the planning phase there will be a protocol entitled:
Standards in Practice
It helps educators design rigorous assignments.

Implement
During continuous improvement teachers will implement what they have planned.
Unpacking a Standard
If a standard needs to be unpacked. They will do this prior to implementation.

Assess
Formative assessment occurs during instruction to see where students are in the learning process.
Summative assessment occurs once teachers have finished instructing on a topic.
Common Formative Assessment

Analyze
CFAs and other forms of student data outcomes will be analyzed. This data feedback will help us understand how to change our instruction to meet student needs.
Data Feedback Strategy (DFS)

Reflect
Once we learn information from data we must develop plans to support interventions for struggling students and enrichment for students that are performing above grade level.
This takes us back to the continuous cycle at PLAN.

When we begin with the end in mind, we have a personal direction to guide our daily activities, without which we will accomplish little toward our own goals.
Stephen Covey

Today we will practice with the protocol
“Unpacking a Standard”
This protocol is used if students
have struggled with or are anticipated
to struggle with a standard.
Let’s watch a video clip of an “unpacking” protocol.
![Page 23: Staying On Track with PLCs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f55550346895dbcff72/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Unpacking Activity
Take your unpacking protocol and directions.
These will be electronically given to the PLC participants.
Teachers may print a hard copy if they need one.
![Page 25: Staying On Track with PLCs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f55550346895dbcff72/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Role Play Activity
The goal of the facilitator is to engage teachers in productive dialogue about their students data and their response to the data.
Find a partner. One of you will be the facilitator and one the teacher.

PLC Expectations
PLCs will meet weekly Primary, Intermediate and Middle
Schools will have one facilitator per school
High Schools will have 5 facilitators PLCs will focus on student
achievement PLCs will focus in the areas covered
today of PLAN, IMPLEMENT, ASSESS, ANALYZE, and REFLECT
![Page 32: Staying On Track with PLCs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f55550346895dbcff72/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

action planning Seeing how PLC implementation will
benefit them and their students Create a nurturing environment -
Allow risk taking Permission to make mistakes
