This is a struggle in many facets of life. However, having the norms as a foundation and building genuine relationships with people to build trust and continue growth as a team. We must agree to hold each other accountable to the norms, and consistently refer back to them as needed. For example, keeping a copy of the norms out for everyone to view.

# data[].attributes.body
Our goal is to establish an agenda for each professional interaction and hold each other accountable to adhering to the designated times and topics.

# data[].attributes.body
Teams and the Staff Notebook are a great tool for collaboration between colleagues, especially since we often feel isolated in our classrooms. We want to use the platform to share documents, communicate effectively, and stay organized.

# data[].attributes.body
Scheduling more time outside of the regularly scheduled PLC time would be beneficial. District-wide collaboration and training has been helpful in the past. UBD (Understanding By Design) training is also something we feel would be good.

# data[].attributes.body
As the article mentioned, some groups have norms they created 5 years ago but don't revisit them. We have had great practice this past summer with the 7 norms of collaboration but we need to revisit them continuously. These have seemed to help with communication difficulties in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
One goal of our PLC is to analyze the data and create an action plan for intervention to improve students. It is also a goal of our team to more actively refer students for intervention when they shows clear signs of struggling academically. We plan to use more reliable and accurate data collection tools in order to effectively asses student progress and intervene appropriately.

# data[].attributes.body
Continue being open and honest with each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Honor PLC time without distractions.

# data[].attributes.body
Communication is a strength in our plc because we were very good about being where we were supposed to be when we were supposed to be there, and we came prepared with data. An area of growth that would help our team would be #5 Lack of Essential Learning Outcomes because we felt there was a disconnect between where we were before, where we were at, and where we needed to go.

# data[].attributes.body
This will create a common area for PLC materials.

# data[].attributes.body
Our strength is common goals and being on time. We will need to focus on the only class we have in common.

# data[].attributes.body
More time for collaboration to create common lessons and assessments.

# data[].attributes.body
Staff Notebooks can be used by every member on a consistent basis.

# data[].attributes.body
We are professionals and will keep everything on a professional level.

# data[].attributes.body
Staff no

# data[].attributes.body
Continue to offer more training and have meetings to see how students and staff are adapting.

# data[].attributes.body
Additional training in collaborative learning space for whole department.

# data[].attributes.body
We have to put our differences aside, i.e., age, education, experience or years of service, and agree that we are moving collectively in the same direction and we do need to develop trust and communicate.

# data[].attributes.body
Honoring Virtual Etiquette among department members.

# data[].attributes.body
No trust issues, this is a strength in our PLC.

# data[].attributes.body
We will discuss any issues as a team. If we are unable to come to an agreement, we will bring in Megan to help bring clarity.

# data[].attributes.body
* We need to maintain the positive tone at our meetings.

# data[].attributes.body
Act professionally. Be mature. Show respect. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Communicate openly and honestly with each other.

# data[].attributes.body
That we actually have PLC time without being interrupted by other training during that time.

# data[].attributes.body
We will need training on teaching remotely and creating common learning outcomes, lessons, etc. through Teams.

# data[].attributes.body
* Curriculum, Student Plan for Success, and CFA's are developed by the District Summer Curriculum Development group and unloaded - eventually - into Staff Notebook

# data[].attributes.body
We follow through with goals of collaboration set up at the beginning of the year.

# data[].attributes.body
Using CHHS Teams and the Staff Notebook will become even more essential now than ever before entering a era where we will be teaching remotely. It gives us a place to review, post, share, comment and communicate professionally to help us teach better.

# data[].attributes.body
* Getting introduced to the new ELD Model and new ELD State Standards
* Have an opportunity to be introduced to the new curriculum developed by the district

# data[].attributes.body
It is easier for every one of us to reference decisions and artifacts that we have already made.

# data[].attributes.body
Additional TEAMS training on different teaching methods would be beneficial to our department as we enter a new "norm" where we are faced with the possibility of teaching remotely for weeks or months. These trainings would help enhance our trust and communication to a higher level.

# data[].attributes.body
It will be easier and more effective to communicate and share ideas and resources, esp if we cannot meet in person.

# data[].attributes.body
We will commit to listening more and developing clear goals that will allow us to develop lessons that we will share, providing us with better data for student instruction and our teaching methods.

# data[].attributes.body
We would like more training with new technology to improve communication, and time to implement what we learn.

# data[].attributes.body
Create PLC goals and strive to meet them.

# data[].attributes.body
Our PLC needs extensive training in distance learning. We need training from technology use, online curriculum

# data[].attributes.body
Attend all meeting and bringing in an artifact or assignment to discuss. Create a US HISTORY Folder of common assignments and assessments.

# data[].attributes.body
* Use "I" statements instead of pointing fingers or blaming others
* Have open communication by being honest
* Accepting the fact that we all have different teaching styles but we are going in the same direction of improving our students' English language skills

# data[].attributes.body
Our goal is to keep to our unit pacing suggestions and to be in sync with what the students are learning -- be on the same topic/chapter/concept as a team.

# data[].attributes.body
Our goal department goal this year is to strengthen our communication and professional trust even more with working with the 9 week course model for PE/Health. The criteria we are going to use are the new assessment tests created by our district curriculum team to assess our success.

# data[].attributes.body
As a PLC team, we have been working with each other for a few years and that would be a strength.  We do have two new members: Linda and Steven. Striving to meet our team goals will be our focus area for growth.

# data[].attributes.body
We would benefit from training on how to decide what learning outcomes and skills deserve the most focus for our limited time.

# data[].attributes.body
To improve collaboration among team members. We need to provide a safe place to allow for criticism and growth. To trust each other and to accept our differences.

# data[].attributes.body
We believe, that after being separated into singletons and coming together, the first step we need to take is establishing norms of collaboration and agreeing to follow them.

# data[].attributes.body
Our goal is to grow our department by encouraging more students to study World Languages. We will judge our success by more students continuing on in upper-level courses, such as AP.

# data[].attributes.body
Always maintain a sense of professionalism.  Teaching is a profession hopefully comprised of talented, serious adults, who care about the education of our children.  Communicate this to your PLC if any member is not acting in a professional manner and contributing to the good of the group.

# data[].attributes.body
Our strength was the amount of teaching experience in each of us and able to adapt to different circumstances. One of our main weaknesses is to improve communication among members.

# data[].attributes.body
Our PLC benefits greatly from having Bonnie Rojas help us with communication between us and administration. Internally we communicate our problems and sometimes agree to disagree and still get along.

# data[].attributes.body
We think we do pretty well at communicating within the PLC. We did discuss some PLC/Leadership communication issues. We feel that admin isn't always on the same page when they come into our meetings or classroom. Each PLC is different and needs to be evaluated differently from other PLCs.

# data[].attributes.body
Our strength is trust. We share strategies for teaching and we ask for help when we need it. We listen to each other and support each other, esp. when having student misunderstandings. For growth, we could improve lines of communication by setting up a group channel in Teams, or other social media, and sharing information daily.

# data[].attributes.body
Our strengths are trust and communication --- considering we have worked together since 1991, that is not surprising! Our focus this year will be on establishing clear team goals and zeroing in on the essential learning outcomes.

# data[].attributes.body
Our PLC will need to work on communication. Since everything will be virtual

# data[].attributes.body
With such focus on communications -- if any training is to be provided -- it should be in communicating.  This could likely benefit several PLCs on our campus. Training in this area could provide some people the tools to share information, ideas and feelings more effectively.  Remember, communication is not just talking but includes reading, listening, thinking, studying, writing, remembering, and speaking.

# data[].attributes.body
Although we have had minimal changes in our PLC (welcoming new members ) and forming a sense of community there hasn't been a lack of trust.  Things that worked for us is a sense of community, there has been 2 core PLC members and as new members have been incorporated we have been inclusive and open to new ideas, and to change.

# data[].attributes.body
Our strength as a PLC is our strong commitment to communication and professional respect within our department. We talk about everything that impacts us professionally and our students and we keep each other honest.

A area of growth for our department is now teaching a 9 week course instead of a semester.

# data[].attributes.body
Having some sort of team building. It's easier to work with people you like so building those relationships will make it easier to collaborate and trust each other.

# data[].attributes.body
While we don't have goals as yet, we discussed the importance of goals as a PLC. Goals have been added to our curriculum this year (for students), so we discussed the need to have goals to reach success. This will help us with our students as we can show them our goals and discuss why we have them. One of our goals will definitely relate to reducing senior failures and communicating grades with parents.

# data[].attributes.body
Strength: Communication on and off PLC time.
Challenge: In the past years, PE/E level had been has been divided into domains: Block W&G, Reading - usually a singleton, conversation - usually a singleton. Though we shared the same students, singletons were encouraged to travel off campus to other school but did not have an opportunity to collaborate at our school. Because we share the same students, we need to work together as cohesive PLC.

# data[].attributes.body
Following through with set plans and holding yourself and each others accountable (bringing data etc.) to respect each others time.

# data[].attributes.body
Communication will be easier. Having open notebooks through wifi will allow colleagues to access notes from different meetings etc. w/o needing to go through the usual rigor of accessing that information. It's all in one spot.

# data[].attributes.body
One of our goals is for us to have more open communication with parents. A criteria for us to judge our success would be good online attendance and good engagement with the class.

# data[].attributes.body
Maintain an honest and open dialogue at all times.  Communication is essential and is a principal of leadership -- "keep your followers informed."  At times we may need to have those crucial conversations but as leaders and professionals we do have those when necessary.

# data[].attributes.body
#5 Lack of Essential Learning Outcomes. This is something that we do, but I think we could use support on how to successfully accomplish this.

# data[].attributes.body
Generate and distribute an agenda the day prior of our PLC meeting to provide a much better structure for desired outcomes.  Notes from the PLC meeting will be included next to each agenda item to ensure we cover the topics.  These agendas will be uploaded into our PLC Staff Notebook for reference.

# data[].attributes.body
Our PLC strength is communication.  This is a subject we also teach and model to the students by always keeping them informed.  Our PLC is well aware of the importance of communicating and have a continual dialogue about the JROTC program.  An area in need of focus and growth would be do generate essential learning outcomes.  While we do have them, they are not discussed during our PLC time.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is generally something that we can accomplish well. I think the main concern is that we (PLC/Content/Campus) need to be open to change and be willing to have difficult conversations w/o being offended. Learning how to disagree.

# data[].attributes.body
A strength is that we all trust each other and have good communication. An area of growth would be for us to revisit our norms more often.

# data[].attributes.body
Successful application of teaching new content online. Can be judged by some progression through the pacing calendar and reviewing data of student assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
Strength would be our trust. We are comfortable talking about our struggles and areas that may need improvement. Based on that I believe our communication is also a strength. An area that may need improvement is having a set number of norms that is readdressed occasionally.

# data[].attributes.headline
Consistent days and times when we will meet.
