    Lot of great ways to help teams get 'unstuck.' Q3 is just around the corner - #atplc
  • Ben_educating Feb 9 @ 9:19 PM EST
    WOW! Yes I would. We are solidifying CFA & need to review our intervention/enrichment time. Always reviewing our work #atplc
    In reply to @DavidJHuber
  • freiterh Feb 9 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2 clarity before competence - it is difficult (but necessary) to slow down when you have the PLC bug running through your veins #atplc
  • autigerlady96 Feb 9 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: creating shift in how teachers define "planning" to incorporate professional dialogue---and PLCs as a guide for discussion #atplc

    A2) Trying to help everyone have #honest & #courageous conversations not just saying what you think someone wants to hear. #atplc
  • DavidJHuber Feb 9 @ 9:19 PM EST
    We just started CFAs - they hare very helpful - and take time to write them well #atplc
    In reply to @Ben_educating

    Q3: What is the most noticeable change at your school as a result of utilizing the PLC framework? #atplc

  • mathcoachrivera Feb 9 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2:I overcame it by planning with teams using the CFA's to inform decisions. Their Ss success and sharing of ideas changed mindsets!! #atplc
  • DavidJHuber Feb 9 @ 9:21 PM EST
    This, in my opinion, is the hardest part of our work. Honest conversations are hard - but matter #atplc

    In reply to @D4Griffin3
  • D4Griffin3 Feb 9 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A3) True Analysis of data that is #triangulated. Starting to inform next instructional steps through higher levels of collaboration #atplc
  • mathcoachrivera Feb 9 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A3:weekly team planning with coaches focused on the essential learning and data from CFA's. Grade levels are more in alignment #atplc

    We too are shifting our thinking - data is not about accountability as much is it helps us respond to our kids learning #atplc
    In reply to @mrroberts70

    It has taken a lot of work & support from our Superintendent. Needed his help to get 1.5 hrs more of prep a week. #atplc

    #atplc A6. The discussions have to center around data. Not things that happen outside of our school walls.

    Our next steps are adding protocols to look at data - we have a great literacy supervisor @erikakoz helping with this #atplc

    half hour before school. I don't know how many actually use their prep to collab, but it is there for them #atplc

    We are working on this. Need more focus on the data and less of "I just know" #atplc

    Last question 60 seconds away - we are all in this together... right?? #atplc #teamwork
  • DavidJHuber Feb 9 @ 9:51 PM EST
    Do you have a protocol teams use to frame their discussions? If so, can you share - thanks #atplc

    Q7: How do teachers, coaches, and administration build a culture of shared commitment to high levels of learning for all? #atplc
  • DavidJHuber Feb 9 @ 9:53 PM EST
    A7: If we are so clear on our goal, &recognize we all want the same for kids- we begin to work together as teammates - and not titles #atplc
  • D4Griffin3 Feb 9 @ 9:54 PM EST
    A7) We establish that we are on this journey searching for answers together. Leaders do not have all of the answers. #atplc
  • DavidJHuber Feb 9 @ 9:54 PM EST
    We are looking at tech learning opportunities via Title 1 funding #atplc

    A7 take the I out of it and start thinking how WE can do it...Share successes and be authentic no matter what #atplc
  • Ben_educating Feb 9 @ 9:55 PM EST
    A7) Share the 'why' and vision - Build the mission to get there together. It takes everyone! #atplc
  • mathcoachrivera Feb 9 @ 9:56 PM EST
    Q7: instead of acting like a group, we work as a team. Teams working together towards a core purpose #atplc

    A7: as a literacy coach, I keep reminding people when we say "ALL learners," we need to include ourselves--so we get stronger, too #atplc
  • DavidJHuber Feb 9 @ 9:58 PM EST
    Thanks for the chat. I know we are all committed to carrying on the work of PLC & Dr. DuFour https://t.co/22tuCIahnA #atplc

    A7) Be open to #feedback. We started to have #educators record a clip of their teaching & share it w/ the staff I record myself too 😅 #atplc
