5. ASSESSMENT

6. What are the four corollary questions of a PLC? 1. What is it we want all students to learn? 2. How will we know when each student has learned? 3. How will we respond when some students experience difficulty in their learning? 4. How will we enrich and extend the learning for • students who are proficient?

7. List four reasons why an effective PLC must work together. • to clarify what students must learn • to monitor each student’s learning on a timely basis • to provide systematic interventions which insure students receive additional time and support for learning • to extend and enrich when students already know

8. Why must an effective PLC examine assessment results? • to identify and address program concerns • to discover strengths and weaknesses in their individual teaching in order to learn from one another

9. Assessment For Learning Champion Teams Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision.  The ability to direct individual accomplishment toward organizational objectives.  It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.  ~Andrew Carnegie
