Purpose: we could improve with our dialogue regarding assessments and how to improve social emotional learning through our content. We do rely on each other for our experience with a subject/sport or new fitness routine. We also discuss our teaching styles that work with certain students so we can improve our overall environment and shared spaces

Activities: we help each other with new practices and improve our techniques

Structure: Seperate times at brunch due to coaches schedules

Outcome: Goal is to improve fitness levels while learning to respect and appreciate our differences

# data[].attributes.body
The purpose is clear, activities are meaningful, the structure is organized, and agendas are emailed before our meetings. We have community norms we honor as a team. Outcomes are met, and we have various goals we are consistently working towards.

# data[].attributes.body
PURPOSE- We have an agenda which is sent out a few days in advance to make adjustments as needed. Subject-alike groups set their own goals before they meet.

ACTIVITIES- Some years we do better at data analysis than others. We create subject-alike rubrics and calibrate students' writing skills.

STRUCTURE- We have a predictable structure but it isn't always respected.

OUTCOME- We didn't share as much last year as we set out to. We share informally in our subject-alike groups but should share best practices more in front of the entire department as we always enjoy and learn from those PLCs.

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose: focus is usually sharing updates/information about the school overall. Any extra time is used for collaboration among subject-alike

Activities: Sharing ideas about our department as a whole and how to improve or change our department-wide practices

Structure: Start with a fun/SEL question, then announcements, then department-wide discussion of any goals, then subject-alike time

Outcome: ideally to have time to plan together under a shared department-wide "vision"

# data[].attributes.body
Outcome: Teachers collaborate well together, especially during subject-alike. Teachers without subject-alike colleagues often work independently, but at times collaborate with other subjects when needed.

# data[].attributes.body
Activities: Training on sped practices, legal mandates, review site IEP status/ case carrier caseload equity, and review SPED data system updates

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose - dept knows purpose well.

Activities - we could do better in sharing

Structure - good enough

Outcome - the dept always gets things done.

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose: We have difficulty aligning our needs/strategies

Activities: Similar to Purpose, we have difficulty aligning our goals

Structure: We have difficulty getting all members in the room at the same time

Outcome: Greatest outcome is simply commiserating, sharing news, touching base with each other (all of which is important)

# data[].attributes.body
Our activities focus on an ice breaker question. We always sit in a circle

# data[].attributes.body
Structure: structure similar each meeting, with shared norms perpetually stated in the agenda. Focus is primarily instructional, with some opportunities for teachers to share individual concerns/grievances.

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose - our department doesn't receive information well when it comes to instructinal strategies. They see it as checking a box by showing up. There are consistently multiple people missing.

Activities - again, this doesn't often happen without complaining.

Structure - there is organization with slides, a focus for the meeting, etc.

Outcome - most of the time it turns into complaining about whatever the topics are.

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose: Yes, I think we do know our purpose. Our conversations are often focused on students, best practices, and how to improve things-- our teaching, our students' experiences, our own work/life balances.

Activities: We are good at all the activities.

Structure: Yes structure is good as well-- we always have a clear agenda and carve out specific time for subject alike time every meeting.

Outcome: We are definitely focused on the goal stated-- we are super collaborative and enjoy sharing resources / stories / strategies / snacks with each other during each meeting.

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose: I think the purpose of PLC should be to reconvene with our colleagues to discuss how we can be more effective and efficient in teaching our content

# data[].attributes.body
Our PLC is usually purposeful and has a set agenda.

We share food and set time to catch up with subject alike classes

After the social catch-up, we get on with our agenda; cover announcements; address issues, etc.

Then, we break out into subject-alike teams and discuss grading, common formative assessments, etc.

Outcomes are met; those that are moving targets are continuously discussed and we seek input/advice, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Activities: both all-group and subect-alike discussions are had on student data, teacher strategies, and goal-setting.

# data[].attributes.body
PLC is great about speaking up about their needs and wants. Members of my PLC need to learn to let go of certain things that do not serve kids.

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose: We us this time to review or train new skills, review district updates, review site updates, and community build since we are all pushing in to other subjects constantly...

# data[].attributes.body
I'm in 2 PLCs where both are different (one very structured, one not) but both are productive where goals are discussed and met.

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose- to share information and collaborate- I feel our department does this well.

Activities- mostly just collaboration- which is what our department deems important

Structure- very structured- information, questions, thoughts, collaboration

Outcomes- different for each class/content area-

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose: clear agendas, allows for individual input, time for subject-alike reflection, all done effectively and efficiently.
