Compliment from Madonna Pund with our PLC Work last week:
I would commend all teams on their willingness to share their data with each other and their focus on ensuring that learning occurs. My favorite part of the day was when one of the teachers mentioned that she felt that the reflection (Step 6) was a really important piece and that it needed to occur in a timely fashion to ensure that they could take steps to get the kids who were in the Unsatisfactory category some assistance in the learning process.
