-The importance of setting good conditions, about time, that means time to plan.
It is not easy, there is not a receipt.
-The convenience to consider that we need a long time to complete the process.
-The object of learning has to take care of achievable goals.
-Sharing a common vision about how to improve our pupils' process of learning is a major priority to start a structure of trust for discussion and reflection as a permanent element in our praxis.
-The value of engagement the school leaders.

We started with variation theory to clarify the contents again. We discussed how to sart a process, should it be voluntary or mandatory to particiapate as teacher. How do you organise the opportunities to repeat lessons? (You can do the same content of lessons in different schoolyears)There are 2 different things that occur with for the teachers in the process: learning new scientific theories(like variation theory) and alsp generating internal theories för their own practise and that´s shareable with other teachers in their group.It´s important to have classes to have an atmosfear where wrong answers are useful contributions.How do you keep the teaching from being to technical and narrow and risc missing the big picture. But it´s also important to understand that the contrast can be used to see cathegories, not only correct/wrong answers. It´s like an investigation everytime!If you want to start without help, start with lesson studies

Ask in the PLC: How do you know it works? What has changed?

# data[].attributes.body
- get to know each other
- a small group (three) won´t work but huge groups (10 or more) can be problematic as well
- common ground regarding interests in the group
- same school type can be a good basic
- a mix of homogeneity and heterogeneity
- find a way of letting people talk/ a positive group dynamic not dominating

Meetings that happen without long pauses in between make it easier to focus on a topic.
You learn more about the people in the PLC and start trusting each other.

"It is crucial not to have competition." Jonas

PLCs meet every 2 month and discuss a lot online by e-mail.
The learning platform is not used yet.

The long terms between meetings make it difficult to focus on a topic.

# data[].attributes.body
When there are different school types in the PLC it is important to visit the schools.

# data[].attributes.body
Involved heads pick a topic, read, discuss, get input at their meetings.

# data[].attributes.body
Charlotta is meeting PLC every other week. Always listen to everybody and take a case to discuss that more.
They get new members every know and then.

It does not help to participate in teachers PLCs as a head because it disturbs the process of speaking openly/ to open up.

Instead of competition: dealing with status and prestige within PLCs?

Instead of competition: dealing with status and prestige within PLCs?

# data[].attributes.body
Living clarity and transperancy in a PLC concerning problems one has seems to be absolutely necessary but not easy to achieve, maybe because of being embedded in competitive structures as a head. Being invited not forced into a PLC is one important basic for a good starting point.

Heads from different grades
How teachers use student data to improve their lessons.
Tape the conversations and send it to Anne Berit to analyse. They try to pick parts from the conversation and sharing what they learned.
Main question: How are you communicating? i.e. What questions are asked in the conversations? What answers do you give?
The action is to talk together.

This is connected to your attitude and values. And the ability to discuss and change your thoughts and solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
It was hard for us to think of real competition within a PLC (for teachers as well as for heads). But there was discussion to what amount heads and their schools are embedded into competitive structures. Does competition come from outside the school and what drives competition? For example: how do comparisons between schools intensify competitive structures?

writing their action plans and discussing them together to see what changed or improved.

Meetings every month and vists of each others schools.

Everybody is presenting and discussing the APs

Charlotta is working in a PLC with heads. Helping to improve.
They get homework. Challenging them helps them stepping forward.

In the begining there were to many questions, so they focused on smaller steps.

They get input like reading a book or a challenging questions, hints, etc.

They don't use any learning platform yet.

The heads talk about their APs and they discuss them, they take notes about it.

Focus in on leadership with private AP that the staff don't know.

# data[].attributes.body
Are you planing your AP alone or together with teachers?

Charlotta: The AP is combined with school develepoment plan - but only for me.

Changes are sometimes so fast that plans and visions can't become reality.
It helps to make very small steps and write them in the AP., to see the progress.

Stick to your school development plan, or focus on your leadership?

# data[].attributes.body
Get the improvement to the pupils. New teachers in the school and changing staff is a difficulty.

Action Plans are in the head and not written down, so you won't see the progress on paper.

Writing down the progress helps to see what changes.

# data[].attributes.body
It helps to know each other well so you can trust each other. Additionally making a contract on terms of working trustfuly together can serve as an instrument of commitment.

# data[].attributes.body
What is easy to change?
What would you like to change? What help do you need?
What change do we want in the classroom? And how do we do that?

In the PLCs everybody writes down where they want to go.
The focus ist on improvement and adjustment. Not only on what is to be changed.

"How do we handle this to get success out of a PLC?" Jonas

Competition can work against the goals of the PLC. On the other hand sometimes competition helps achieving goals.

Is it either leadership or school development OR (how) are these aspects connected?
