PLC is a way to give more group work for teachers so that they can put all their brains together so the students benefit from multiple ideas/perspectives. Everyone wins!

We need fewer PLC groups. The meetings should be more purposeful to the act of teaching or data analysis. Achievement PLCs could be aligned into vertical groups to discuss data across grade levels.

Meetings with our "vertical" PLCs felt like we were just trying to meet a quota of meetings, since the discussion questions were vague and nothing ever seemed to change as a result. Very few of our meetings (with any PLC) felt purposeful; the cohorts with teachers from other schools had potential but we only met with them twice. It was nice to bounce ideas off others.

-this seemed like a waste of time to answer redundant questions. We should all know the 4 questions by now, and discussing our reteach/extensions in vertical alignment doesn't truly help me as a teacher. Also, if not all teachers are positive and willing to reflect, then it is pointless. More time doing purposeful work would be better.
