PLC Showcase

I was very impressed with the professionalism of all my fellow faculty. They have put great effort in studying their subject, collaborating on their subject, and projecting their ideas into the future. Everyone I met with had real-world, thoughtfully conceived plans for approaching their subjects. There was nothing that was theoretical for theory's sake, and their plans could be implemented by any teacher in this school.

In our PLC we learned how to adjust to our new situations. There has to be a first time for everything. And we now know what activities work best, how to start them, and more importantly, what to tell the kids and how to group them. In other words, we have a model for how to activate and moderate our trips.

Questions one and two contribute to my professional work by maintaining a professional, scholarly atmosphere where I can work with the pride of professionalism with other professionals. I guess I'm trying to say we as teachers need our own school spirit, our own professional guild, our own pride.

What thoughts, ideas and learnings did you take away from the PLC Showcase? 
 - Flipped classroom ideas and to record class discussions and have students grade themselves/reflect on how they did.

 

Thinking back over your PLC work this semester, what were some of the lessons 

you have learned? 

- Paired curriculum planning is very time-intensive 

- We must be more planned/organized for paired curriculum to work effectively

- Students enjoy the opportunity to use knowledge across many classes 

 

How might the information gained in questions 1 and 2 impact our professional work?  

 - The opportunity to try new ideas out with students and continue planning and building w/the plc
