PLC Focused on Data
By this point in the year your PLC has various points of data to help identify gaps and areas of concern. MAP Data, PEAKS Data, Student Work Samples, Quizzes/Tests.
PLC's should be at Data Meeting 3- Determining Gaps & Goals or DM 4- Planning for Action this is where you develop your SMART Goals (instructional plan for implementation). Your implementation should take place for 3-6 weeks (could be shorter or longer depending on your goal and length of instruction).
I have put all the protocols for each meeting sequentially in a google folder. I will also give one to each PLC so that you have a copy of them. You should copy the protocol you are using and link it in your PLC notes for each week. If you are having trouble with this let me know.

Thanks everyone, the PLC's that I have visited are doing a great job looking at their collected data!

CHAMPS Tip of the Week
Correct misbehavior fluently (briefly, calmly, consistently, immediately and {as much as possible} privately.
- Brief corrections maintain instructional flow and reduce the degree of disruption the misbehavior causes.
- Calm corrections model responsible ways to deal with conflict, avoid escalating emotional intensity and keep your blood pressure at reasonable levels.
- Consistent corrections allow you to be on "automatic pilot" and demonstrate to students that you are fair and equitable.
- Immediate corrections prevent minor misbehavior from becoming major misbehavior.
- Reasonably private corrections model respect and help maintain the student's dignity - while still addressing the problem.
