Goal 1: 2015-2016 HMS Culture Goal Measurable Objective 1: collaborate to share expertise and work together to improve teaching skills and the academic performance of students. by 05/02/2016 as measured by Providing adequate time for our teachers to collaborate in PLCs to help ensure the academic success of our students. . Strategy 1: PLC Meetings - Teachers will meet twice a month after school in PLCs to collaborate, share strategies, and discuss student data. Subject matter teachers will meet once a month to share instructional strategies, look at student data, and discuss Tier 1 and Tier 2 activities that meet the needs of all learners in their classroom. Grade level teachers will meet once a month to share strategies that would benefit everyone on the grade level team. They will share reading and writing strategies that could be used across the curriculum. Teachers will also look at student data and progress to determine if a student will need Tier 3 instruction. Grade level subject matter teachers will also meet in PLCs once a week during their common plan time to share strategies. The PLC meetings will be monitored and guided by Administrators and lead teachers. Research Cited: How Do Principals Really Improve Schools? The collective results of studies from the Center on Organization and Restructuring of Schools (Newmman & Wehlage 1995); The National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (Carroll, Fulton, & Doerr, 2010); The Annenburg Institute for School Reform (2005); The Wallace Foundation (Louis, Leithwood, Wahlstrom, & Anderson, 2010); and the American Educational Research Association (Holland, 2005) offer an unequivocal answer to the question about whether the literature supports the assumption that student learning increases when teachers participate in professional learning communities. The answer is a resounding yes. (Vescio, Ross, & Adams, 2008, p. 87) Activity - PLC Training
