How is your Science PLC structured on your campus? by Jared Tavares https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj Give a brief description of how PLCs are set up on your campus. en-us 2018-09-03 20:06:28 UTC 2018-09-11 22:22:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Our science PLC is comprised of 1 M/S rep from each grade level. The sci CILT and CIC lead the PLC, but ore teacher leading is planned for future PLCs. We meet each six weeks. We meet for 1.5 hours. Focus is on instructional practices, data, lesson planning, resources, and writing in science. https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277545053 2018-09-04 13:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277545053 Science PLCs https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277545128 Scheduled whenever math and reading PLCs are not already scheduled... mostly ends up being not during 45 min PLC time, but after school. 
I'd like to see science PLCs done during our 1.5 hour late days so we can see more vertical planning rather than only grade level planning.

It is led by the CIC and is held weekly. The topics that are covered include lesson planning and weekly check point assessments to be generated and it is 45 minutes in which both Science and Math will be discussed. ]]> 2018-09-04 13:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277545368 5th grade teachers, time split between math and science https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277545401 Cic leads, 1 hour]]> 2018-09-04 13:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277545401 Our science PLC is part of the grade level PLC. These first few weeks our focus has been on alignment (which includes a reasonable, common lesson plan template and the expertise to use it productively across all grade levels) https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277546067 2018-09-04 13:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277546067 Science PLC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277546234 Our Science PLC consisted of the CIC and 5th Grade Science teacher.

By grade level, which is shared by all subjects, not just a Science PLC. It takes place weekly and lasts for 40 minutes. https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277547166 2018-09-04 13:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277547166 At our campus we meet weekly for 90 minutes. They rotate each week with the CIC in charge. Both math and science are covered but it is only with 5th grade now. https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277547775 2018-09-04 13:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277547775 Science PLC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277602154 Since our science teachers don’t teach just science, it is integrated into RLA and Math right now.  My hope is that we will eventually have a separate PLC at least twice per six weeks for science. ]]> 2018-09-04 15:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277602154 The CIC meets with the teachers weekly before lesson plans are done. We discuss the focus for the 6 weeks and each week make sure components are in the lesson weekly. https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277602355 2018-09-04 15:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277602355 https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277602620 All teachers need to attend PLCs and it is usually lead by the teachers.

Our 5th Grade SCI PLC occurs weekly. Since our teachers are the only one on the grade level teaching that content, it is usually just them and the CIC that attend. https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277603768 2018-09-04 15:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277603768 https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277604279 Our science PLC is integrated with math since most teachers are departmentalized and teach both math and science together.

For three meetings in the 6 weeks we lesson plan, we have a meeting focused on data, and we spend 2 meetings looking forward to the curriculum in the upcoming 6 weeks. It is coach facilitated, with teachers providing the most of the “meat”. ]]> 2018-09-04 15:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277608457 Our Science PLCs are combined with the Math PLCs weekly. Each grade level meets weekly for 45 minutes, and it consists of the principal, assistant principal, coaches and the grade level team. We cover topics like LOs, data, and often times review exemplars. Meetings are lead by admin team with the coaches taking over in the second six weeks https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277608842 2018-09-04 15:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277608842 PLCs https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277608877 We have weekly PLCs for each grade level. Within these PLCs, science and math are discussed depending on whether teachers are departmentalized or self-contained; this determines the time they spend focusing on science content. We meet weekly as a staff, but this time is not always devoted to Science curriculum. ]]> 2018-09-04 15:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277608877 SCIENCE PLC Structure https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277608966 Currently, our structure is two 45 minute sessions (Tuesdays and Thursdays during planning). Thursday is Data PLC and Tuesday is Instructional. During the Data PLC, teachers analyze the weekly assessment. During Instructional PLC, teachers are responsible for presenting a mini-lesson on the following weeks SE. Feedback and suggestions are giving after the presentation.]]> 2018-09-04 15:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277608966 Our PLC's are conducted weekly by content. Math and science share time and like classroom instruction, science is the first to be pushed to the backburner. https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277610123 2018-09-04 15:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277610123 Our K-5 teachers meet weekly for Math and Science PLC combined. https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277612482 2018-09-04 15:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277612482 https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277684305 There is no formal PLC for science at our campus. Usually, it will be part of the overall PLC; one of the portions that gets covered during the time that we meet. The principal or CIC usually leads the PLC, and all teachers attend. As far as subject, we discuss best practices, exemplar lessons, or collaborate in planning future lessons. There is usually “science” time in our PLCs every two weeks. Out of the 50 minute PLC, we allocate about 20 minutes to science. ]]> 2018-09-04 17:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277684305 Science PLC https://padlet.com/jtavares/7nv1e3mm0qqj/wish/277684367 Our Science PLC is attended by each grade-level team and is usually lead by the grade-level chairperson.
