Starting up a PLC
Starting up Your PLC
You need to start up your PLC from very early. Remember what makes a PLC. Here are some big ideas.
Identify individuals for your prospective team. Have a first meeting and develop a vision and time for meeting.
You may need to teach individuals how to work together successfully (collaborate with collegiality).
Remember to create and promote an atmosphere of trust. Don't be petty and postcolonial nor gossipy and trivial. Avoid Defensive climates.
Find the time-if people are motivated they will give time.
Sure include your friends, but broad and inclusive works everytime.
Include parents, other stakeholders, and students for broadened participation
Questions to ask in a school improvement PLC

How do we improve student learning in our department?
