My first year in Kindergarten we would get together and plan and create CFA's, choose a date to give them and then come back together and enter our data, then discuss ways to move all of our kiddos, high, medium, and low.

1.  I have learned valuable strategies from other teachers, new to experienced to very experienced teachers.
2. I have learned how to be a better listener and to share things that are important and of value instead of just talking for "talking sake".

Consistency on meeting- Has been hard for Specials to meet.  County Level- PE has only met one time last year. We need more time with our Specials at the county level to network and brainstorm curriculum.

In a previous school I worked at, we looked at all the students in the grade level based on race. We were told; "100% of Asian students have to pass the EOG, 78% of African American students need to pass the EOG, etc." Our job as teachers was to choose which students were most likely to pass or not, and to focus on the "yellow" students. It's like we were giving up on kids already, in January.

I know it seems silly, but there is a strong bond that comes with teachers taking turns in grade levels bringing snacks/breakfast for the group.

Teachers among your team partnering up but excluding others on the grade level. Division isn't cool.

Dialogue was very difficult. When we were given planning time, groups would form; math would partner, ELA would partner and Dual Language would partner. We didn't really have any "grade level" planning. It was done in these groups

Sometimes PLCs weren't very productive. Most of the conversation was complaining about children, bus issues, or other issues we had. It was more venting than solving problems and supporting each other.
