June We have had successful implementation of PLCs in my school. They are formed in grade levels with a member of the school's instructional leadership team as facilitator. The facilitator begins each year by helping each team establish ground rules. Then, on a half-size chart tablet the team lists questions or concerns related to students or instruction. The facilitator tries to help the team decide upon one question they want to research. THe team decides upon how they will work to resolve their question...it could be outside reading, bringing in an outside person as a resource...Each team is required to keep a chart tablet with minutes from each session and they meet every two weeks for 45 minute sessions. The tablet is used not only to keep the PLC focused, but as a way of sharing what is going in with other grade levels. Jennifer In a message dated 6/19/2009 7:31:33 A.M.

I know that some of you have been involved in PLC's in the past. Would you share your experiences? I am moving grade levels next year and the team that I am joining is piloting PLC's in our building - maybe the district - not sure about that. I am trying to learning as much as I can before we return to school. Thanks, June **************An Excellent Credit Score is 750. See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps!
