  4. PLC/At-Risk • Collaborative • Student and Data Driven- honor all learning • Accountability • Active Participants • Be Prepared • Team not a Group • Firm Relationship, Trust and Open Communication • Value ALL Members and Stay Positive • Be Open to a Variety of Ideas, Thoughts and Suggestions • Be Optimistic • Celebrate the Small Victories Often • Goal: involve all team members • Using videos/observations to get everyone on the same page (same expectations) • Communicate with ALL staff involved with the student(s) • Unpack the challenge to discover the solution • Balanced focus of all students • EVERYONE contributes (resources included)

Standards • Gives us a common goal • Viewed on a continuum of learning (meeting or exceeding proficiency) • Aligned vertically and reviewed • Priority standards, know them and use them to create specific learning targets • Kid Friendly language • Spiral • Common language • Drives - Assessments, Instruction, Intervention, and Enrichment • REFLECT on what they know, NOT what was taught • Proficiency Scales • Advanced Skills

  8. Continued Growth • Observations in our school, at other schools and reflect and share! • Taking time to give & receive feedback • Exchange feedback • District team meetings (Writing, Science, Math) • Communication • Have a growth mindset - mistakes are OK • Book studies and share resources and resources in the community • Evolving best practices • Keep what works but change what doesn’t • PLC!!!! • Collaboration with all staff that are involved with each student
