Section B: Equitable Learning 2016-17
5 Essential Elements of a PLC (DuFour)
1) Educators work in collaborative teams rather than in isolation and take collective responsibility for student learning.
2) Collaborative teams implement a guaranteed and viable curriculum, unit by unit.
3) Collaborative teams establish the criteria they will use in assessing student work, can apply the criteria consistently, and monitor student learning through an ongoing assessment process that includes frequent, team-developed common formative assessments.
4) Educators use the results of common assessments to help one another improve their individual practice; build the team’s capacity to achieve its goals; and identify individual students, by name and by need, for intervention and enrichment.
5) The school provides a systematic process for intervention and enrichment based on the needs of individual students.
