Why Focus on Student Learning?

It is the stuff PLC’s are made of Teachers will support helping kids

grow It isn’t focusing on teacher

improvement or teacher effectiveness – but does the same job. The focus is on LEARNING not TEACHING

Why Focus on Student Learning?

It forms the epicenter of your job and your mission.

Success is the aphrodisiac of PLC’s and you can measure student learning – measure success

No one wants to help you complete your Master’s Thesis. . . or make politicians happy
