To Achieve Our Goals...
PLC’s must address and know the following -
What do we want all students to learn? (essential, guaranteed, and viable curriculum/standards)
How will we know they are learning? (frequent, team-developed, common formative assessments)
How will we respond when they don’t learn? (systematic interventions = tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3)
How will we respond when they do learn or already know it? (enrichment, extension, TAG etc.)

“In schools that help students burdened by poverty achieve remarkable success, teachers work in collaborative teams to build common formative assessments and use the data to identify which students need help and which need greater challenges. But they also use data to inform teachers’ practice, to discuss why one teacher is having success in teaching a concept and others are not, and what the more successful teacher can teach his or her colleagues” (Chenoweth, 2009)
