    Just a side note, change is very difficult to the brain as this is a change to patterns which the brain is continually searching #atplc

    #atplc A2. Sharing student work, inquiry, celebrating accomplishments...addressing what still needs to improve

  • VealHeidi Mar 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    Absolutely! We > Me #atplc

    Q4 How can a PLC ensure that the changes being implemented are directly related to student needs? #atplc
  • RosaIsiah Mar 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT
    A3 requires an understanding of the purpose for change, the why. PLCs consistently analyze learning data. Stu learning drives change #atplc
  • mjjohnson1216 Mar 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT
    A4. Using data and student survey information. Be sure that even the quietest voice of Ss can be heard. #atplc

    In reply to @VealHeidi
  • TravisDGaroutte Mar 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT
    A4: Make sure your PLC involves teachers, the heavy lifters, who know student needs better than anyone. Get to know students/parents. #atplc
  • gettinglostcamp Mar 23 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    A4: When PLC is comprised of Ts from diff areas of the school AND outside of the school, checks/balances for Ss needs, not agendas #atplc
  • HalLRoberts Mar 23 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    A4 they are on the front lines, so they know the needs of the students best #atplc

    #atplc A4. Goals are centered around students...Data can continue 2 determine needs. But Ss also need voice...i.e. survey, guest in PLC
  • bethhill2829 Mar 23 @ 9:37 PM EDT
    I prefer this term over norms as well, Cory. Teachers have been "normed" to death. LOL #atplc

    Q4 all changes should benefit students, period. We often focus on what is convenient for adults. Student needs must drive change #atplc

    RT Q5 What forms of resistance are most common in your school or PLC? How can resistance be addressed in positive, productive ways? #atplc
  • bethhill2829 Mar 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A5: Recognizing all teachers as leaders, and not singling out "teacher leaders". Assume the good until there is proof otherwise. #atplc
  • inspire0818 Mar 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    #atplc A5. And we need to be committed to build a solid PLC.

    Systematically planning so the quietest voices are heard for ALL staff means ALL. #atplc

    As an administrator, sometimes you have to say, "Let me help you find a place you would be happier." #atplc

    Q6 Share time… Share resources, ideas, experiences, successes, or structures for leading change within a PLC. #atplc
  • mjjohnson1216 Mar 23 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    Saying WE CAN DO THIS .. over and over and over and sharing examples of how it is occurring. #atplc
  • genevie79cr Mar 23 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    I heard this today and I cringed! Questioned what can we do to make changes to improve. #atplc

    A6: Individual and small group conversations helps for me. Don't roll out change in a large group, and talk at them. #atplc
  • HalLRoberts Mar 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    Jace you are on target as Trust is foundation of leadership (a chapter in my book "Pirate On!) #atplc

    A6 When moving toward SMART goals being our focus we had SMART trainers attend PLC meetings & share feedback bout suggest for improv #atplc
  • bethhill2829 Mar 23 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A6: Reflection on how the change might effect the climate, and ultimately, the culture. Proactive discussions! #atplc

    When I discuss change...use the drip system to change, not a fire hydrant #atplc
  • RosaIsiah Mar 23 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A5 passive resistance is most challenging: team members who agree to goal & resist by NOT following through. #atplc
  • VealHeidi Mar 23 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    Yes! Waiting for a summative assessment to know "who got it”is equal to waiting for an autopsy to diagnose a disease. #atplc

    A6. After selecting a goal, increase knowledge of all about it, request feedback on how PLC is doing, create changes, more feedback #atplc
  • HRodriguezIII Mar 23 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A6: It might sound harsh, but don't become emotionally compromised within a PLC. #atplc
  • bethhill2829 Mar 23 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A6: considering a gap analysis to help define the need for change will support understanding of the why behind it. #atplc

    What I am trying to say is if your goal is very important then circle back on a continuous basis to gain feedback. #atplc

    #atplc A6. I love NSRF site 4 protocols. I also had the opportunity to use a Model where Admin and Ts cofacilitated a PLC...very powerful
