Professional Learning Communities

This morning I had the good fortune of observing a professional learning community (PLC) with the high school English Department. PLC's are a time when teachers meet and discuss student achievement, curriculum and classroom instruction. PLC's are a powerful tool to help our teachers provide the best education possible by focusing on what is important....student learning. In this morning's PLC, the teachers were discussing the merits of certain vocabulary curriculum as well as organizing training for writing strategies. All teachers at the Penn-Trafford School District participate in some sort of PLC. What a great way for me to start my day by sitting with teachers and talking about the "good stuff".
