I guess planning is one way you could do a PLC...but I think you lose
the
inquiry when you do it this way.
We let the teachers generate questions of interest related mainly to
students...we look at student data and research ways to improve
learning.
There must be lots of ways to do PLC.

I am moving to a new grade level in the same school and my new team is
piloting PLC's in our building. From my understanding, this is the way
it
will
work. Our team consists of 5 teachers. One each language arts, math,
science, social studies and 1 special education teacher (me). Our
team
leader,
the science teacher, has had some training in structuring the PLC's
so
this
is what from my understanding is to take place. Prior to the
beginning of
school, we are to have our curriculum maps broken down into basically
three
week blocks. The first three weeks will primarily be procedures and
content
review. So at the beginning of the year. we will be meeting daily for
a
while to start with planning our second three week block. We will
bring
our
materials, activities, assessments and everything we plan to use to
the
table
and then the five of us will work together to evaluate, make
recommendations, and support each other as we develop every thing for
this second 3 week
block. There is a framework from which we work - don't have mine yet
but
I
am trying to obtain information about it.So basically while we are
teaching one three week block we will be in the planning and refining
for
the next
three week block. Does this explanation make sense? Jennifer and
others -
does this sound familiar?
