- Variety of Data

- PLC Process

- Habits of Mind

What we are tight about in the PLC process…

1. Work in collaborative teams and take collective responsibility

for student learning rather than work in isolation.

2. Implement a guaranteed and viable curriculum, unit by unit.

3. Monitor student learning through an ongoing assessment

process that includes frequent, team-developed common

formative assessments.

4. Use the results of common assessments to:

• Improve individual practice.

• Build the team’s capacity to achieve it’s goals.

• Intervene or extend on behalf of students.

5. Provide systematic interventions and enrichment.

Focal areas for action steps:

- Exploring other measures to consider when determining literacy

skills growth (The ways PLCs measure essential student learning)

- Work collaboratively to make use of formative assessment data to

design and implement strategies that improve student growth

through differentiated instruction.

By June 2022, all students will demonstrate proficiency in

(2-3 chosen habits of mind).

Focal areas for action steps:

- Familiarize staff with the Habits of Mind

- Teacher and/or parent survey to determine habits of mind that need

the most developed in students

- Generate a rubric for use with Habits of Mind / PBL Service Learning

- PBL is one method of teaching, practicing, & assessing these skills.

(Connect HF-L Strategic Plan skills with Habits of Mind skills)

- What else do teachers do in their instruction that could make use of

this rubric?

- Sustain program(minor adjustments)

- Shift funds to

support trips

- Staff Development: PLCs
